Matt Cohn, NCGA Mid-Am Champ! (there's more!)
« on: June 22, 2018, 05:55:20 PM »
Unless I missed it, there has been no mention here of Matt Cohn winning the NCGA Mid Amateur Championship June 9-10 in a 2 hole playoff at Poppy Hills. That is a BIG win. Congratulations Matt!

I am guessing you now like Poppy over Spyglass.

Nice job, those mid am fields are way better than most think.

And the guy I beat in the playoff just won the Cal State Am today. Well, I had my weekend, at least!

I have liked the new Poppy more than a lot of people since the renovation. I think it requires a tremendous amount of decision-making through the course of a round, more than maybe any other course I've played. There are a few quirks that I disagree with but I think it's excellent overall. I think it will be interesting to see a bunch of (mostly) first-timers get around it during the US Junior Girls Championship in a few weeks.


And I've always loved Spyglass of course. I've gotten pretty comfortable there but it could again be wildly hard when it co-hosts the US Amateur in August.

Not content just to win the NCGA Mid-Am, Matt came very, very close to winning the NCGA Stroke Play Championship this past weekend. He tied with Nick Moore, his frequent 4-ball partner, at +1 over 3 rounds at Poppy Hills, before losing in the playoff.

Well done Matt!

Matt congrats!  Wow what an accomplishment.  What part of your game is your thong suit would you say?  What are you working on to improve presently?  Do you have an instructor?

Not sure I want to read about Matt's thong suit... :)


Well done, Matt. Keep it rolling, I want to be rooting for you at Augusta someday!

I've played with Matt a few times and caddied for him once.  He is a very smart (knows how to manage his game) and accurate player.  Typical Matt accurate drive:

I wish we had a strong thong suit for everyone on this board.


Guys who win these things have an overall bulge in their thong suit.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean...and I’m not sure I want to either.
