Rain interrupted the 2009 EDGA Mid-Am at the Lake Shore CC on Thursday July 23th so much that the event had to be trimmed to 18 holes and time for 18 holes was just about the window of opportunity. The starting times were delayed by 2 hours to allow the course to drain and then, almost immediately upon completion of play another deluge struck. That rain caused a delay in the pending playoff between Lake Shore combatants Bob Paris and Marty Simonsen who finished the day tied with rounds of 3-under par 69’s.

Another small window opened and the player did battle on the first hole at the Shore in sudden death format. Unfortunately for Paris, it took just about 1 shot to send his title hopes to their death as his tee shot ended up out of bounds. Simonsen would play the hole safely and cautiously and his bogey 5 was good enough to capture the trophy.

Ron Coleman, seeking an unprecedented 3rd straight title had those dreams dashed when an untimely bogey at the 18th left him 1 shot out of the playoff. He finished alone in 3rd with 70. Senior champion Rick Carlotti was at even par 72 and alone in 4th. Cory Smith and Sal Vella, Jr. tied for fifth with 73’s while EDGA Match Play runner-up Ted Grassi, III was 7th with 74. Rounding out the prize list were Whispering Woods’ David Hewett and Mark Noce who both shot 75’s.
