MIRIMICHI GOLF COURSE

Millington, TN – The Mirimichi G.C. is a beautiful golf course built to attract the PGA, and it can be very difficult.  On Saturday with winds gusting to 25 mph, greens running 13 on stimpmeter, and wet fairways, the difficulty was off the charts as the overall scoring was way up. 

Champ Flight - With both players posting 76 in regulation play, the Champ flight went to a playoff between Bennett Secrest and Ed McDugle, with Ed winning on the first hole.  Ed is 2 out of 3 on playoffs this season and is the current point’s leader in champ flight.  Chris Schlette grabbed 3^rd place with an 81.

A' Flight - Three year tour vet Thomas McMurdy won his first tourney of the year with a very nice 84.  Congrats Thomas!  Jim Cande shoots 85 for second, with Keith Nuckolls taking 3^rd with an 86.

B' Flight - Rick Kidder’s 84 was good enough to beat Juan Castillo by two strokes and take the B’ flight trophy for his first win of the season. Danny McDougal’s 91 was good for third place.

C' Flight - Tom Horton ignored the conditions, and carded a very impressive 79 blow away the C’ flight!  Welcome to the B’ Flight Tom!  Greg Cryder’s 86 and Dennis Sensing’s 91 were good for 2^nd and 3^rd place respectively.

D' Flight - John Bennett’s grabbed first place with a 97, and kept the season long points title within reach.  Trey Lindsey took 2^nd with 101, and John Conlee takes 3^rd with a 103 respectively.
