The Brookside Country Club in
Pottstown, PA hosted the GOLFWEEK Amateur Tour (Philly Metro) on Saturday
August 6, 2016. Forty-four tour members in five flights competed on a hot and
stormy summer afternoon on the Par 72 course. Brookside Country Club dates back
to 1916 when a nine-hole course opened on property next to the Hill School. The
course was re-designed by William and David Gordon in the 1950’s as an
eighteen-hole layout. It features numerous small wetlands, many elevation
changes, rolling fairways and some challenging putting surfaces.
In the Championship Flight, Gary Greenberg (80, 43-37) took the title by four-strokes
over Tidewater Tour member Ryan Nolan (84, 40-44). Matt Schaff (86, 42-44 was
another 2-strokes back. CHAMP Flight played Blue Tees from “the tips” at 6,748
yards.

Mike Lubieski (83, 41-42) and Carl Handwerk (83, 44-39). Handwerk took 2nd
place on a match-of-cards. This was Steinmetz second victory of the season. Robert
Kulbacki (Par 5 6th hole) and Carl Handwerk (Par 5 11th hole) both
made Eagle 3’s during their round. The A Flight also played Blue Tees from “the
tips” at 6,748 yards.
The B Flight winner was Jonathan Sun with a fine round of 78 (42-36), He won by
a commanding 6-strokes over Steve Mumford (84, 40-44). Mike Schoedler (85,
