Sixteen teams enjoyed the beautiful day to play in the third playing of Urban Golf Hulett held on March 19, golfing on the streets of Hulett using tennis balls and hitting to targets such as five-gallon buckets, light poles, fire hydrants and dumpsters.
The team called the Wizards of Colorado came in first place with a score of 24 on the nine-hole course. Led by the short game magic of Anthony Olson, when the team was inside 30 yards of the target Anthony was the man called to finish the hole.
There was a tie for second place with the teams of Wood Boys Meat Cutting and Stevens #2. Both teams scored a 25 on the course and into a sudden death playoff they went.
Wood Boys Meat Cutting lost the coin toss and hit first from the back patio of the Ponderosa to a target in the neighboring backyard that was a hot tub aptly named "Moist Mable". The first shot from the Wood Boys was well within striking distance of Mable which put the pressure on Stevens #2.
Stevens answered with a shot 20 feet away and both teams walked away with a two on the hole.
The second playoff hole saw Stevens #2 hitting first to Mable. The team showed up with one of the best shots of the day placing their ball within five feet of the target.
Wood Boys Meat Cutting put up a valiant effort but a phone booth and the big stage next to the hole proved too much for the team and they conceded the hole to Stevens #2.
Last place was the team of Stevens #1. They tried hard and got a nice medal engraved with "Not Even Close". The amazing Tennis Ball Wacker Guy Chris Bears was the longest drive champion.
