The Charleston Golf Week Amateur Tour traveled out to the beach on Sat
to the Isle of Palms to tackle the Harbor course on what turned out to be a very
nice February afternoon. The tournament marked our second sell-out in a row and
for those that played, we enjoyed a great time.
The Champ Flight had new comer Paul Ponder fire a great round of 77 from
the tips which is now easy feat at the Harbor course. He finished 4 shots up on
another new-comer, Brooks Harlow.
The A flight saw the round of the day as
Dennis Slezak posted a spectacular round of 73. His steady play was to much for
large field in the A flight. Fred Dixon posted a very nice 77 to take home
second place while Stephen Kauble and Dan Wanner both shot 79 for a tie for
third. Stephen prevailed on the scorecard playoff.
The B flight saw another
first time winner as New Member Randy Tame blisted the back nine with a 34 to
capture his first ever Golf Week Tour Title. Coming in Second place was Jerry
Mast who posted a solid round of 81. Matt Root and Jack Sudol from Myrtle Beach
both finished with 82's and Matt prevailed with a show of cards.
The C flight
saw last years C flight winner get his first victory of the year as Jason
Courtney carded a nice round of 85 to finish in first place 2 shots ahead of
steady Michael Sams who shot a 87.
The D flight saw Brandon Bray capture his
first victory of the year as he carded three birdies on his way to a round of
92, two shots ahead of the hot Aaron Chase.
Overall it was a great day as the weather cooperated and course played
very nice and fast as all golfers completed their rounds in under 4 hours 20
minutes. Our next event will be the shoot out at the Links of Stono Ferry. I
have 28 guys signed up so far so please put your name in soon.
