June 13th, 2008 · No Comments

By BRAD BOURNIVAL Staff Writer John Furlong’s super summer of 2007 has apparently extended its way into 2008.

He returned Monday to Grantwood G.C. and lapped the field in an another impressive showing. The Medina resident pocketed a 36-37 on the 6,429-yard course to finish two over, five shots better than Fairlawn’s Tommy Arison.
