Coal Bucket Classic, 2010

Steve Simonett (left) was our net winner of the Coal Bucket Classic for 2010. Steve last won the "bucket" back in 1989 and he gets to write his name on the bucket one more time. Seems his game has been just fine through the years.

Paul Seidman (middle) was runner up and Glenn Samuelson, last year's winner, made an excellent host for this year's tournament.

We had about 40 players walk the 12 hole course this year and the weather stayed clear and warm for the day. The tournament marks the end of the golf season in Vail. The Coal Bucket Classic began in 1968 and is the oldest golf tournament in the Vail Valley.

And the winner is...

This year's edition of the Coal Bucket was a big success! The weather was great and twenty players turned out for the 41-year old tournament on Saturday.

Glenn Samuelson, fellow Golf Course Superintendent, is the latest name on the coal bucket. Glenn is the gross winner firing a 33 on the 8 hole course. Bob Essin was the net winner with a 34-27.

Thanks to everyone for a memorable 2009 golf season.
