2012 GOLFWEEK AMATEUR GOLF TOUR
SATURDAY, JUNE 30
BRYAN PARK - CHAMPIONS COURSE
GOLFWEEK MAJOR TOURNAMENT

Rees Jones Champions Course at Bryan Park
| |
|
There’s not much to say about this venue – it is a great course to play, you played it earlier in the year so you should be ready to compete and to go low.
The Champions Course opened in 1990 by the legendary Rees Jones. Therefore be warned, it can become a real skill challenge! It is a big time course that is always looked at and most times selected for competitive rounds to separate the real golfer from the pretenders.
The quick review: Bent grass Greens and Bermuda Fairways and other accolades too many to mention - as an example the site of the 2010 US Amateur Publinks Tournament.
This is an 18 hole championship layout featuring 97 sand traps, numerous grass bunkers, hollows and seven holes bordering Lake Townsend.
- Runner up best new public course in the country Golf Digest 1990.
- One of the best New Public Courses in The Country - Top 10 You Can Play - Golf 1991.
- Four star rating and honored with the distinction of a GREAT VALUE - Golf Digest's Places to Play 1994-95, 1996-97
- Noted as one of the few public courses worthy to host the U.S. Open - Golf World 1992
- One of the top 12 golf courses in North Carolina - Tee Time Golf 1995
- "Best In State" Rankings - Golf Digest 1995-96, 1997-98
- Listed in "America's 500 Best Places You Can Play" - Golf Digest 1996.
- (A ranking of the 10 best public and resort courses in all 50 states, the Champions ranked third in North Carolina.)
- Listed in "America's Best Golf Courses Everyone Can Play" as the #12 best affordable golf course in the country - Golf Digest 1996.

"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"
Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!
Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf
EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!
Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.
-
It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)
-
It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).
-
It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!

"When you have a chance to shoot the lowest score of your life you won't choke - You Will Go Low!"

GOLFWEEK AMATEUR TOUR PLAYOFF AT DORMIE CLUB
West End, NC
June 23, 2012
The Dormie Club, recently listed as the 3rd best new course in the US by Golfweek Magazine, was the venue for the recent Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour event. Raleigh's Scott Mankins took the opportunity to capture his first Tour victory in a 3-man playoff for A Flight honors.
Dormie Club A Flight Winner - Scott Mankins
Mankins, Bunnlevel's Vic Mastrucci, and Greensboro's Coray Mitchell all finished their original 18 holes with identical 77s. As in every Golfweek Tour event, first place ties are played-off on the course in a sudden death format. Mankins made it pretty sudden, with a simple par on the 1st playoff hole for the win.
Appropriately, the best score of the day was turned in by the Championship Flight winner - Park Williams of Kernersville with a 74. He edged out Raleigh's Rob Clarke by a single stroke. "Parks always tough", said Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. "He actually reached a par-4 green today with a hybrid iron"!
Dormie Club Flight Winners (Left to Right)
Championship Flight - Park Williams; C Flight - Johnny Sears;
D Flight - Keith Thomas
Durham's Daren Green, who last fall won the Golfweek Tour National Championship in Hilton Head for the B Flight over 150 competitors, only had to beat 25 today with his 80 in the Flight. Hillsborough's Jim McLean took second for the 2nd week in a row, 2 strokes back.
Dormie Club Winner - Daren Green
Fayetteville's Johnny Sears outdistanced Walstonburg's Rat Williams by 2 - 86 to 88 for the C Flight crown to continue his outstanding play this season.
The D Flight was even tighter as Greensboro's Keith Thomas nipped Ricky Tate of Fayetteville by a single stroke - 94 to 95.
Next up for the Tour is the 2012 Season's third Major Championship to be held this coming Saturday at Bryan Park - The Champions Course. There are still openings available for that event. If interested in playing, call Hallenbeck at 336-495-6556.

ONLY TWO WAYS TO GET TO THE GOLFWEEK NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT HILTON HEAD
Where Are You In The
Year-End Point Standings Race?
There are only two ways to get to the year ending National Tournament - win one of the four majors (only 2 remain) or be one of the Top 10 point earners in your flight.
We have reached halfway into the season and some of the point races of who will be #1 in the Flights and places 7 - 14 are very tight. As little as 25 points separate tour competitors.
Do you know how many tournaments you will need to play and what place you will need to finish in each tournament to ensure you have your automatic invitation? Don't be left out.

Rules Review
It has been suggested that there should be a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve. So begins a series of problems titled What's the Score?
Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009.
I will include one each week. You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm.
There will be no trick questions or hidden information.
If you do not have a Rules of Golf book handy, go to: usga.org/Rule-Books and-Decisions |

Question from week #151
Select all correct answers:
During a stipulated round, a player may borrow a club:
A. Never
B. If he is carrying fewer than 14 clubs.
C. Only from a partner.
D. For measuring a one or two club distance, provided he has one of equivalent or longer length in his bag.
Answers:
B and D are correct answers.
The single qualifying requirement for borrowing a club with which to make a stroke is the player must have fewer than 14 clubs. While he may not borrow a club selected for play by another player on the course, he is not restricted from adding or borrowing a club from a player who has completed play, yet to tee off or from the pro shop.
If you have 14 clubs, borrowing any club to make a stroke would breach Rule 4-4. However, if you were to practice a putt or chip with a fellow competitor’s or partner’s club, there would be no penalty as you have not made a stroke with a borrowed club. The same applies to the player who borrows a club for measuring. Decision 20-2 clarifies that if you borrow a club you must be able to have duplicated the measured effect with one of your own clubs. If you could not duplicate the distance measured and then made a stroke at the ball you would be penalized under R20-7, wrong place. |

Tour Weather Guidelines:
Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.
The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).
In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.
If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
