Fellow Oakland Hills Country Club members Tom Gieselman of Commerce Township and Scott Strickland of Bloomfield Hills earned a par on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff with the father-son team of Dean/Dan Ellis to win the finals of the 11th GAM Senior/Mid-Am Team Championship at Barton Hills Country Club.
The 2017 champions came from 4 shots back before winning in sudden-death.
“It’s always nice to win,” Gieselman said. “The alternate shot is a tough format. Somehow we stayed in it and it worked out.”
The same two final teams met in a playoff in September at Travis Pointe Country Club to determine the site winner, and Ellis and Ellis won that one with a par on the first hole.
