The DC Metro Golfweek Amateur Tour played Whiskey Creek and despite the wind, posted some great scores and incredible matches. The course was tough but our members were even tougher as displayed by the competive spirit and results of the event.
Matt Garland claimed his first victory in an exciting playoff and Bala Perumbala took second in his third straight event. Both individuals shot an 81 as C Flight members! Third place went to Nikhil Patel with an 87 and fourth place went to Wayne Boddy who was one stroke behind him with an 88.
The B Flight winner was John Nesbitt. John's incredible finish of 77 led the field. Second place went to Bob Tallman with an 86 followed by Bruce Foote (88) in third place and Dave Hutchinson (90) in fourth.
Peter Tran's score of 80 earned him the first place trophy for the A Flight. The competition was fierce and second place was determined by a scorecard playoff. In the end, Mike Sheehan took second and Rex Close finished third--both with a score of 81. Fourth place went to Jonathan James who was one stroke behind with an 82.
D Flight player Nate Cohen shot a 90 in the tournament and took the first place spot as a result. Will Miller claimed second place with his score of 95. Meanwhile, the Championship Flight played from the tips which was not an easy task given the wind and course. Jack Sheehan's score of 88 earned him first place and even the course pro said that was a good score given the conditions of the day.
The next tournament is on May 4th at Rock Harbor. Rock Harbor is not only a beautiful course but also features our special "Bring a Friend" event! You don't want to miss out on all of the fun so be sure to register before midnight on Saturday, April 27th.
