DANNY NASH WINS FOR FIRST TIME; PIAZA WINS SECOND IN ROW; RODRIGUEZ WINS PLAYOFF

 
Danny Nash (L) & Alex Piaza Win Championship and A Flights, respectively

88 players teed it up at the Waldorf Astoria Golf Club on July 26.  The course had dried out from early week rains and was in excellent condition.  It gave everyone all they could handle.  It is a great place that is sure to land on our future schedules.

Championship Flight:   Danny Nash was the only player to better par on the Rees Jones layout.  He turned in a fine 69 to capture a four stroke victory over John Bessette (73).  Rob Kempinski, playing for the first time in several weeks had a nice 34 on the front 9, but a 41 on the back left him in third with 75. Bill Shufelt beat Bob Casemento on the scorecard match for fourth place after each shot 77.   

A Flight:  Alex Piaza kept the hot hand he had at Eagle Creek last time out as he shot 77 to win the A Flight.  Gary Martinet came in with 78 to grab second place.  David Parker finished on 80 and thrid after matching cards with Donald Dunivant (80).  

Ray Rodriguez Wins B Flight Playoff Over Matt Mewes After Each Shot 83
