2008 Charleston Tour Ends Season at Charleston National!

Dean Teal, Cowboy & Mike Miller- 2008 "D" Flight Champions
The Charleston division of THE EGOLF AMATEUR TOUR held their final tournament of 2008 season on Saturday, September 13 at Charleston National Golf Club in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. The course was in excellent condition, with fast greens and soft fairways. The weather was hot and muggy, with a torrential downpour near the middle of the event. The sun prevailed for the back nine and the pace of play picked up as the mourning groups finished. The course staff did a great job hosting our final event of 2008 and everyone had a great time. Mark Ducker won the Championship Flight, with a low round of the day 75. Dominic Lizarago took second place with a score of 78, and Mike Metz finishing third just (1) stroke back. Dom played with his family today who were in town visiting. They really enjoyed the atmosphere and the tournament. Biff Huff carded a nice round of 77 to take the “A” Flight win. Rich McNamara shot an 81 for second place with Eric Tobias right behind with an 82. Tony Capehart easily took “B” Flight with a stellar round of 80, with Tim Sumption finishing second with an 84. Jason Brisini took third with a score of 85. Hal Wynne took a close win over Kevin Allerdice in the “C” Flight with a score of 89. Rick Miller carded a 99 for third place. Ruth Traver, visiting from Jacksonville, FL, scored a 91 to take “D” Flight honors. Tommy Bryant, Dean Teal, and Tonya Lizarago (guest) all finished regulation play with scores of 95. A scorecard playoff determined the order of finish. The finishing order for the final point’s tournament of 2008 created some very close finishes in the point’s race. In “A” Flight, John Shores edged Biff Huff by only (2) points. The “D” flight race was wide-open, with (4) players in contention for the top spot. We would like to encourage everyone to come out, join the tour, and enjoy playing competitive tournament golf. It is a wonderful, eye opening experience. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR. The next event will be THE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP in HILTON HEAD on Saturday, October 25 and 26th. All the course listings and itinerary are listed under the CHAMPIONSHIP tab on the tour website. ************************************************************************ The following is the Charleston Tour ‘points’ order of finish for 2008; (Championship Flight) Matt Metz (633), Jace Gause (592), Dominic Lizarraga (476), and Mark Ducker (343).

A field of approximately 700 golfers from across the country will converge on the island Oct. 25-26 for the tour's national finals. The championship will be contested on seven courses, including three at Palmetto Dunes Resort, Port Royal Plantation, Oyster Reef & Robert Cupp course in Palmetto Hall. This marks the third straight year the egolf Amateur Tour has hosted its national championship on Hilton Head Island. Last year's event drew just under 550 golfers and encompassed six courses. The overall champions were: Championship Flight: Chad Frank Orlando, Fl A Flight: Bob Potter Charleston, SC B Flight: Kirk Kleiser Louisiana C Flight: William Duncan Louisiana D Flight: Doug Turnau Charleston, SC Team Championship: Louisiana "We expect another competitive tournament throughout all five flights. Guys are grinding through out the season to earn enough points to qualify for the National Championship," said tour president Dennis McCormac. "The players who came last year really enjoyed Hilton Head Island. In addition to world-class golf, it offers great beaches, restaurants and family activities." The record number of participants will be gunning for a total purse of at least $20,000 in gift certificates in the 36-hole stroke play championship. In addition to the Saturday and Sunday rounds, golfers have the opportunity to arrive early for practice rounds from Oct. 22-26. "This is a big event. Not just for our tour members, but also their families," McCormac said. "Guys are bringing their wives and children. It's evolved into a family event over the last decade, with the number of spectators increasing as well." Again this year is a Friday welcome reception for participants and their families at the new clubhouse at Port Royal Plantation. Tour sponsor Perks & Pats is hosting the reception and will award a free golf vacation to any egolf AGT golfer who makes a hole-in-one during the championship. Last year Charlotte’s Mike Nasekos recorded a hole-in-one Sunday on the Robert Trent Jones layout at Palmetto Dunes. Nasekos, playing in “B” Flight, aced the 162 yard eight hole with a four iron. It was his very first ace. For information on the egolf Amateur Golf Tour's 2008 National Championship, go to (www.amateurgolftour.net).
