Kauble Slams the Door!!

The Charleston and Myrtle Beach Tour got together for a little tournament at Rivertowne Country Club on Sunday Aug 20.  Outside of an hour and forty five minute rain delay it turned out to be a great event with some great golf being played.

The Championship Flight had some solid play and only 1 stroke separated the top five with three players shooting 76 and two shooting 77.  The three 76’s Jeff Emory, Stephen Kauble and Marc Paulsen took the course for a sudden death playoff.  All three players got off the box with a couple of them in the rough.  Stephen wasted little time in this playoff as he fired a beautiful shot three feet from the pin for a slam the door birdie!  Great job to all three golfers as the course was especially tough after the rain delay.

In the A flight the rain delay may have had more of an impact.  The entire leader board changed in the last few holes with Fred Dixon going back to back birdies on holes 15 and 16 to claim a one shot victory over Glen Powell.  Comin in Third was Myrtle Beach Tour Director Jason Dores who had a chance to match Fred at 5 over but his par putt at 18 slid by on the high side.  In the B flight Randy Tame fired an excellent round of 78 to claim top honors.  Randy played so well he earned a promotion to the A flight, congrats Randy!  Coming in Second was Myrtle Beach’s Beth Hunt who played a steady round and posted a very nice round of 81 while Bill Chick took third place honors with smooth 84.  The C flight saw a struggling golfer Jack Overfield, Turn it around.  Jack played some superb golf firing an 84 to post a three shot victory over Vince Ackerman.  The D flight saw Myrtle Beachs John Davis win his first event ever!  Congratulations John! John posted a solid round  of 93 for a two shot victory over Sean Gilpin.  Our next event is the Grand Strand Classic in two weeks.
