It's a gorgeous day here at Sleepy Hollow Country Club for the 96th Met Open, but unfortunately some prominent names had to withdraw prior to today's first round:
--Two-time Met Open champion Rick Hartmann of Atlantic, who won in 1998 at The Creek and in 2004 at Hudson National, injured his hand.
--Bill Britton of Trump National-Colts Neck, the 1979 Met Open champion, injured his back. Hopefully he'll be better by next Monday, when the MGA Senior Open begins at Crestmont Country Club in West Orange, N.J.
--Matt Dobyns of Deepdale withdrew for a happy reason...his wife gave birth on Monday to a baby girl, Kaitlyn Jennifer. We at the MGA wish the Dobyns family all the best!
Other players who had to withdraw prior to the championship were Carl Alexander of Purchase, Marc Coleman of Nassau Players Club, and Pat Collins of Garden City Country Club.
