The Charleston Tour
embarked on their second battle of Summerville at Pineforest Country
Club. The weather cooperated in the fact that it did not rain, other than
that it was downright hot!! As usual Pineforest showed her teeth as they was
not a player to break 80 in the field.
With the limited
entrants in the Championship Flight, we backed them up to compete against the A
flighters and Brooks Harlow shot an 83 to best Paul Ponder by five shots
showing it was more than a tough test from the tips. The A flighter's
moved up to the Blue tees that proved to be just as formidable. Stephen
Kauble and Biff Huff both fired rounds of 80 and took to the course for a
sudden death playoff that went three holes before Stephen stuffed a great
approach shot for birdie to take the title.
In the B flight Tony Walters showed that
steady play is often the best medicine as he shot a smooth 80 himself for a 4
shot victory over Will Gwaltney.
The C flight saw Casey
Sullivan shot a very nice round of 85 that included a nice birdie on hole one
to kick start his round and post a three shot victory over Scott Crosby.
The D flight has a new
hot golfer and his name is John Wilson. John won his second event in row
by blistering the course for an 88 and a 6 shot victory of Sean Gilpen!!
Although it was it hot, and the scores were a
bit higher than usual it was still a great time for all as everyone seemed to
stick around for the final outcomes on the scoreboard as well as the Skins
Sheet! Our next event is the Southern Regional which has been sold out
for well over a month. After that we start our home and home combo events
with the Hilton Head tour. On July 11th wee venture down to Savannah to
the landings and then they will come up to Seabrook for the challenging Ocean
Winds! The rest of the schedule has some great track's and I look forward
to a great stretch run!
