The 98th Bloomington City Golf Tournament is trimming a bit of the fat, and no, no GLP-1s are involved.
For the four who make the finals of the Phil Talbot Men's and the Paul Gray Senior Championship flights on July 19 at Cascades, their Sunday outings will end much more quickly with the reduction of the 36-hole, one-day format to an 18-hole contest.
Back in 2013, shrinking numbers of players who wanted to participate in the tourney's highest levels forced then-Cascades director Aaron Craig to lower the fields to 16 players, down from 32, for match play. The price of slimming the tourney to two weekends was a 36-hole final played in one day rather than spread over two days on a third weekend.

It was a tough day for the Super Seniors, who happily went back to an 18-hole final in 2024.
