i26 SPRING COMBO
The Charleston, Columbia, and Augusta tours got together for
their annual Special Monday event at Orangeburg Country Club. The golf course was in spectacular shape and
the greens were quick and true.
In the Championship Flight, the lead changed hands back and
forth between Charleston’s Chris Asbel and Charlotte’s Scott Tarcy and Jeff
Jordan. Scott had posted a 75 and Chris and Jeff were tied with one hole to
go. Chris made a 6-foot par save on the
difficult 17th par three while Jeff Jordan’s par save slid by on the
par three third hole to give the victory to Chris.
In the A flight, Fred Dixon (Charleston) was rolling along
on with a three shot lead heading into hole 18. It was a pulled tee shot that lead to a triple Bogie and a tie with
Charlotte’s Mark Ballew who also fired a very nice round of 78. In the playoff the same tee shot that reared
its head for Fred, showed up again and Mark was able to secure the victory with
a par on the tenth hole. Mark Ducker from the Charleston tour rounded out the
top three.
The B flight was also settled via a playoff. John Saager and Sean Kenneck both from the
Charleston tour posted solid round of 81, 9 over par to finish in a tie. They also played hole 10 to settle the
score. This was John’s second playoff in
a row as he prevailed at the Crowfield social. However today was Sean’s day as
he birdied the 10th hole in the playoff to John’s par to take home
top honors! Rounding out the top three was Columbia’s Brian Williams
In the C flight, Charleston’s David Carlson won his first
tournament ever with a very nice round of 83 for a one-shot victory over
Augusta’s Scott Wilson. Matthew Nemmes
of Hilton Head, Matt Witt of Charleston and Augusta’s Robert McMillian all tied
for third with rounds of 86.
The D flight had Columbia’s Mike Bailey fire a 91 to post a
two-shot victory over Charleston’s Chris Hill and Columbia’s Joseph Jones who
both posted an 83 with Chris taking second place prize money on a scorecard
playoff.
Our next event is Sat May 19 at beautiful Seabrook Island as
we tackle the Ocean Winds course.
