2009 Tournament Results
(FGP) A chilly April day kept attendance down for the opening of the 2009 FarmGolf season, with the Club Pro sidelined due to health issues and Miles Runner attending as a spectator. While the weather may have affected golf scores, another non-weather issue seemed to have more effect on final results, as scores tumbled in the final round.

4th Major – FarmGolf PGA
(FGP) The final tournament of 2009 saw two teams off to a fast start through the first round. After the second round, B. Smith, Wise and Fitzwater held a 2-shot lead, but it was not enough as the dazzling play of L. Smith, C. Smith and Green shot 5-under for the final round to take the win.
The play was very expert-like, as all recorded rounds were under par for the day.
Also, the photography was most excellent as shown in the below pictures.

WDTV Comes to FarmGolf Again
(FGP) Joe Brocato of WDTV in Clarksburg, West Virginia returned to FarmGolf in the summer of 2009 for the second feature story on FarmGolf. In 2008, Club Pro David Smith played Joe on Hole No. 1. This year featured new Club Pro Bill Bowers taking on Joe and another member of Channel 5 Sports, Dave DeCandis.
The exhibition was the first official duty for Bowers as Club Pro, as David Smith had been recently appointed as FarmGolf Czar by President Obama.
And, we again mention that we will never be doing business that loser station in Clarksburg, WBOY, Channel 12, who consistently refuse to believe that FarmGolf is the world’s fastest growing sport.
Another Tailgating Season for FarmGolf at WVU Football
(FGP) For the fourth consecutive year, FarmGolf sponsored a tailgate in the Blue Lot for Mountaineer football. Always a celebrity-filled event, this year saw the extension of complimentary alcohol to freshmen female students.
Final 2009 FarmGolf Power Rankings Released December 5, 2009

The formula uses results of the four most recent tournaments with considerable weight, while also including the previous two years of golfing, along with major wins, hole-in-ones, double eagles and finally multiplied by a skill factor.
