Back by popular demand, Christina River Exchange hosted the 2nd annual office putting tournament earlier this summer to coincide with the U.S. Open. Our headquarters were transformed into the esteemed Octavo Piso Country Club to host the 2022 CRE Open on the nine-hole put put course, complete with water hazards, sand traps, and workplace obstacles. Over 30 associates participated in the two-day tournament with varying success.
Some players felt the thrill of victory, while others learned the agony of defeat as they succumbed to the pressure of holding onto Round 1 low scores. “Goddess of the Greens” Grunseich was high on the leaderboard after Round 1, but struggled Day 2 on Holes 6 and 8. She was not available for comment, but we expect she’ll be a top contender in 2023. Holding on to his 2nd position after Day 1 was “Grip and Rip It” Givler finished 12 under for 3 rounds. “Tee It Up” Temple got his game on after a slow start on Day 1 and finished with 2nd Place finish and a score of 100. And after a year to regroup following his devastating loss in the 2021 CRE Master’s Tournament, “Master of the Masters” Mucklow held onto his first place lead after Day 1 and was victorious in capturing the coveted Champion title. He attributes his success to his family, many fans…and to “Avoiding big scores and staying within himself.” Honorable mention goes to “Mashie Mulligan” McGee who shot Hole-In-One on Hole #3 not once, but twice. And last but not least, congratulations to Team BPGS on their Top Team Finish.
