Wildwood Golf & Country Club in scenic Cape May Courthouse, NJ hosted the GOLFWEEK Amateur Tour (Philly Metro) on Saturday June 28th, 2014. Forty-eight tour members and four guests made the journey “down the shore” for a fantastic day of golf on one of the area’s premier private courses. Bright sunshine, clear skies and pleasant temperatures prevailed throughout the day as our group competed on the mature tree-lined golf course that dates from 1916. Small fast greens and numerous water hazards are part of the challenge at Wildwood G&CC.

In the Championship Flight, 2013 A Flight National Champion Albie Sanguiliano posted the lowest round of the day (76, 39-37) from “the tips” playing 6,714 yards. Great playing, Albie!
  
The A Flight victory went to Darren Parkes (79, 43-36), who survived a 4-hole playoff against Keith Gibert (79, 37-42). Parkes back-nine even-par 36 included a great birdie on the difficult par 5 15^th hole. Gibert’s front-nine 37 included 3 birdies (one being an “almost” hole-in-one on the Par 3 5^th hole). In the playoff, both players made par on the first 3 holes. On the Par 4 4^th, Parkes was able to win with a bogey 5 when Gibert struggled to reach the green in 5 and made a double-bogey 6. George Reby (80, 38-42) was one-stroke shy of the playoff in 3^rd place.

The B Flight title went to Joe Volpe (83, 38-45) his third consecutive title on tour. Volpe’s round included a great birdie on the Par 4 8^th hole.  Mike Sabbagh (85, 47-38) was two-strokes back in 2^nd place. Joe Foley (85, 46-39) took 3^rd place; his round included two back-nine birdies. Steve Winnick recorded the season’s first “Eagle” when he holed-out from the fairway for a “2” on the 385 yard Par 4 8^th hole – way to go, Steve!

The C Flight victory went to Sal Tomczak (91, 45-46), his second consecutive title and third of the 2014 season. Sal was one stroke ahead of Chris Moore (92, 47-45) and Tom Evancho (92, 44-48). Moore took 2^nd place on a match-of-cards. This was Tomczak’s last event in C Flight; he has accepted a promotion to B Flight for the balance of the 2014 season.

D Flight honors went to George Adams (84, 40-44) who turned in the low round of the day from the White Tees, playing 6,157 yards. Luis Feliciano (91, 47-44) took 2^nd place.
