The GOLFWEEK Amateur Tour (Philly Metro) opened the 2017 season at the challenging Ridge At Back Brook in Ringoes, NJ on Saturday April 29^th.  80 tour members competed on the Tom Fazio designed tournament course at this exclusive private club for trophies in 5 flights. We enjoyed a warm sunny and breezy afternoon with temperatures climbing near 80 degrees. The course proved to be a tremendous challenge for the sold-out field. Head Golf Professional Travis Deibert and his staff made certain that the golf course was in immaculate condition for our event.

Gary Greenberg (82, 40-42) took home the trophy in the Championship Flight.  Gary was two strokes better than Jules Quinones (40-44, 84) and four strokes better than Michael Goldfarb (40-46, 86) of the Metro NY tour.  All 3 players were tied after the front-nine holes. The CHAMP flight played the “tips” at 7,061 yards.

Michael Lubieski (82, 41-41) was the winner in a close A Flight contest, posting a one-stroke victory over Stephen Barry (83, 39-44).    Mark Monkhouse (84, 43-41) took 3^rd place on a match-of-cards with Carl Handwerk (84, 42-42). The A Flight played BLUE Tees at 6,654 yards.

The B Flight tournament was won by new member Richard Mariner (83, 41-42). Mariner birdied the Par 5 18^th hole to post a one-stroke victory over Ron Pace (84, 40-44). Ed Gilbert (85, 45-40) took 3^rd place on a match-of-cards with Frank Giordano (85, 40-45). The B Flight played GOLD Tees at 6,319 yards.

The C Flight winner was veteran Dave Neder, who posted an impressive 87 (42-45), for a four-stroke victory over new member Walter Luft (91, 44-47). Scott Siravo (93, 46-47) was another two-strokes back in 3^rd place. The C Flight played GOLD/SILVER Combo Tees at 6,145 yards.

New member Brandon Nickel (96, 49-47) won the D Flight by five-strokes over last year’s D Flight winner Sean Matthews (101, 51-50). New member Rob Kerr (102, 51-51) took 3^rd place. The D Flight played SILVER Tees at  6,003 yards.

Our next tournament is on Saturday May 13^th at the exciting White Clay Creek Country Club located inside Delaware Park in Wilmington, DE. This Arthur Hills design from 2005 challenges golfers on every hole, with the creek constantly in play on both drives and approach shots.
