Lakeland,
TN – Tough course!
The Stonebridge G.C. was in great shape, but the greens were firm and
fast. Add to that the out of bounds
lines were moved into the course 5 to 10 feet from normal, and that adds up to
extra strokes for most players! For the
first time this season, we were able to play a tournament from the cart instead
of the cart path. Jonathan Holden and
his staff did a great job for us, and we really appreciate Eric Howard getting
us in on such short notice.
Champ
Flight – Ed McDugle, Alan Boone, and Hunter Sharpe battled
all day for the lead, and it came down to the final hole to determine the
winner. Going into #18, Alan and Hunter
were tied for the lead with Ed one stroke off the pace. Hunter and Alan both made bogey on #18 and Ed
makes birdie for a two stroke swing and the win! What a battle! Hunter nabbed second place on a scorecard
playoff.
A’
Flight – Rick Hamilton wins for the 3rd time in his
rookie season with a very nice 79. Mark
Heath shoots an 82 to edge Keith Nuckolls by one stroke for second place.
B’
Flight – New Member Todd Hutchinson cards an impressive 83 to
grab the win in his first tournament.
Congrats Todd! Rick Chandler
grabbed second place with tour vet Danny McDougal taking third place.
C’
Flight – Three players finished in a tie with 90, and Jose
Oakley comes out on top after a scorecard playoff. Trey Lindsey takes second over rookie Eric
“EJ” Johnson. Congrats Jose!
D’
Flight – Eddie Anderson notched his second win of the season
with an impressive 91. John Bennett and
Ellis Houser carded 94 with John getting second place on a scorecard playoff.
