As one of the players said this weekend (I can’t
remember who), playing on the Tour reminds them of the television show The
Jeffersons because, ”We’re moving on up!” With more people changing flights,
the field is becoming very interesting and the tournament at 1757 was no
exception!
As mentioned in the recap of the Bridges, Herman
Brown has been on fire and his streak continued as he won first place in the C
Flight at 1757! Herman’s score of 83 just edged out Dan Pastorek’s 85 to take
second place and left new member, JT Craig, in third place after carding an 88.
Herman is now a member of the B Flight and is gunning for the top. Meanwhile
Dan is happily sitting in the number one spot for overall points in the C
Flight!
Taking a look at the B Flight reveals that
Dorinda Pastorek, who recently moved up from the C Flight, won her first
tournament as a “B” player! Dorinda scored 83 and beat Kal Guraya by one stroke.
Both David Macke and Matt Garland shot an 85 while Steve D’Ambrosio was close
behind with an 86.
The Championship Flight honored repeat winner,
John Nesbitt with the trophy for his score of 77. Right on his heels was Eric
Fryatt with 78 and Crews Miller with 79. It was also a special day in the D
Flight—Karl Yergey celebrated his birthday with a win! Karl’s 97 led the field
with Claudia Moonen in second place with a score of 100.
Finally, the A Flight kept everyone on the edge
of his/her seat until the very end! New member, John Richards forced a playoff
with veteran Rex Close after both shot a 78. After getting a birdie on the
first hole of the playoff, John earned the trophy in his very first tournament!
Mike Garland and Dave Pongrace took third and fourth respectively with their
score of 82.
