The Charleston and Columbia
Golfweek Amateur Tours got together to rekindle their battle of I26. As we all
recall it was the Charleston Tour taking the Ryder Cup event in November and it
looks like things have not changed to much as the results of the event held at
Carolina Lakes Golf Course on Shaw Air Force Base indicated.
The day started with the threat
of storms washing away any chance of playing as it was predicted, we would have
100% chance of rain all day long. Well with a good two thirds of the field
showing up and a delayed start, we got the entire round in without a drop of
rain! The course was in super shape and it was definitely one of the finest
military tracks in the south east.
Dan Wanner from the Charleston Tour and the
reigning National Champion in the A flight got his groove back by firing a great
round of 76 for a two shot victory over Stephen Kauble (Charleston) who
continued his solid play.
The B flight saw a sweep of the top three from the
Charleston Tour as Randy Tame and Steve Walters both posted solid rounds of 80
and took to the course for a sudden death play off. They took it three holes
before Randy seeled the deal for his second victory of the year. Coming in third
was Tim Sumption, one shot back with an 81.
The C flight also saw a sweep of
the top two spots as Scott Crosby carded a career best of 80 for an easy nine
shot victory of a tri of golfers. In the end it was Gues T.J. Fabian taking
second on a scorecard playoff.
The D flight finally saw the Columbia tour break
through as they completed their own little sweep with Tom Haddad posting a one
shot victory of Paul Sharples and Greg Taylor who both shot 90.
It turned out
to be a great day for golf and our next event is on May 9th st Shadow Moss
Plantation. If you would like to play just shoot me an email or sign up
