Lakeside, Redstone, and Mira Vista clinch playoff spots

In spite of the unseasonable cold temperatures several teams clinched a playoff spot yesterday to earn an invitation to the state playoffs at Horseshoe Bay Resort. 

Lakeside Country Club (Houston, TX) defeated Royal Oaks C.C. at home to finish the season strong and 5 – 1 for the season. Lakeside will be making their 2nd trip to the state playoffs and their first since 2011. 
Also from Houston, Redstone Golf Club punched their ticket by winning their final match with a road win against Lochinvar. With a 5-1 record as well, the two qualifying teams from Houston will be tough to beat. This will be Redstone’s first appearance in the playoffs.
Mira Vista Country Club (Fort Worth, TX) and The Sports Club at Four Seasons (Irving, TX) both finished the season tied for first at 4-2. However, Mira Vista emerged as the champion using the head to head point tiebreaker by the slimmest of margins.  Mira Vista will also be participating in their first state playoff event.
