Two Wrights don’t make a wrong.
That’s the current motto of the Country Meadows Crawford Cup team as it sits in first place headed into today’s second round of golf at Whispering Pines.
Randy and Bob Wright, along with Todd Woods, carded 14 team points in the opener at the Meadville Country Club on May 31.
Randy Wright was the medalist with a 76, followed by Woods with a 78 to win Flight C. Bob Wright shot an 85 for fifth place in Flight B.
“I was fortunate enough to play in a scramble ther eon Wednesday, so I was able to see the course and get on the greens. They are right about perfect, and personally I like faster greens. They always keep them in real good condition.”
“I think the golf course is in about as good of shape as I’ve ever seen it right now.”
last round — “I guess, all in all, it was a good day. It was good in the conditions, because I hit the ball really high. The wind can play a lot of havoc on my approach shot.”

“We’ve got a pretty solid team with the two Wrights and myself, and we’ve got a couple other guys waiting in the wings,” Woods said. “We’ve been fortunate to hit it well so far.”
The trio has been playing leagues together for quite some time, and Woods feels like its a solid team. And a lot of his faith in the combination comes from the Wrights.
“They are both good players — long hitters,” Woods said.
Woods also has a familiarity with the Pines, having been a member there before Country Meadows.
“I used to belong at the Pines, so I know it well,” he said. “It’s very tricky in the first four holes.”
The course is in excellent shape, according to host Carol Kingzett, so the competition should be quite a bit better than the opening round in the wind and cold.
