Good Morning,
Congratulations to all the season long flight Champions. The Championship FLight saw new comer Chris Asbel play some outstanding golf all year to take top honors over John Ashmore, our Charlotte transplant. In the A flight Fred Dixon took top honors over Mark Ducker. Fred had some outstanding tournaments and played super this year. He was also our Birdie leader for the year! The B flight was won by Tim Sumption who just played every event to win it, Jerry Mast edged Randy Tame for Second in the points standing. The C flight went to our Buffalo transplant Jack Overfield! Coming in second was our Eagle leader for the year, Willlie Stephens. The D flight was won by Vince Ackerman who has played some spectacular golf as of late. He has played so well, he actually earned a promotion to the C flight after his victory this past weekend.
This weekend we held our local tour finals up in Santee at Lake Marion and Santee Cooper Resort. We had a great day Saturday with a picnic after the round and golf giveaways while we were eating. The food was great, the golf was fun and we gave away over $1,000 worth or golf and golf gear. The A flight saw Biff Huff and Andy Balao battle it out all weekend. Andy started with 76 on Sat and Biff countered with a 78 on Sunday to tie Andy at 157. In the playoff, Biff's driver let him down and Andy's steady play lead him to victory. The B flight saw Jace Gause take the two day victory on the heels of a solid 78 on day one. Jerry Mast who was his steady self took home second. The C flight saw Chris Huge prove that moving up a flight is no big deal as earned his first C flight victory with solid rounds both days to finish at 174 and edge Willie Stephens by a shot. As I mentioned earlier, Vince Ackerman continued his great play as of late to earn not only a victory for the weekend, but top honors in the flight and a promotion to C flight, well done Vince.
