The Charleston tour rambled on up old HWY 53 to tackle Berkeley Country Club on Sat mar 29th and the boys came to play.
In the Champ Flight, T.A. Fulmer and Mike Cobb were battling it out all day in the same group with 12 birdies and eagle between them, it came down to the last three holes. T.A> played them at even par with Mike being 1 over. As the two sat comfortably in the club house, Cory Deering did his best to ruin the party. Cory played the last three holes at 2 under to tie Mike for second and come with in one of T.A. who prevailed for his first victory of the year.
The A flight saw the best round of the day as Jeffrey Zeigler fired a 2 under par round that included five bridies and an eagle as well. Dan Wanner brought home second place honors after starting with a triple on hole 1, Dan fired a 2 under himself the rest of the way for a very nice round of 73. New comer Greg Priest rounded out the top three with smooth 75
The B flight saw the first of our two playoffs as both Tyler Martin and Cory Crews posted hot rounds of 78. Wes Mahafffey and James Devito tied for third with Wes taking the scorecard playoff. In the playoff between Cory and Tyler, it was Cory who made a par to secure the victory on the tough opening hole for his first victory of the year.
The C flight saw the second playoff as Marlin Morris and Justin Miller decided it was a great day for some additional golf after both fired rounds of 85 to tie for first. Again it was the difficult opening hole where par is a solid score that determined Marlin was the winner. Rounding out the top three was James Simon who tied with James Ravenel but prevailed in the scorecard playoff.
The D flight saw last years Champion, Danny Alexander prove that it wasn’t a fluke as Danny and Ted Deese battled it out down the stretch. Danny played the last three holes which always seem to be the key here at Berkely in 3 over while Ted hit a speed hump and played them in 5 over tying Brent Westbrook for second place but prevailing on the scorecard playoff.
Chris Hall took advantage of one of the many perks of the Tour. He traveled down to Mount Vintage in North Augusta to take on a great track and a field of 18. At the end of regulation, Chris was tied with Paul Gandy and preceed to an oncourse playoff where Chris used his steely nerves to prevail.
