Ohio Divisions End 2007 Season at Darby Creek The Cincinnati & Columbus divisions of THE AMATEUR GOLF TOUR held a combo event at Darby Creek to finish the 2007 season. The course played as tough as Augusta National. Darby Creek is renowned for its tough course and its friendly staff and it was no different on tournament day. The course was in fantastic shape with the greens rolling very fast and the fairways narrow. The course staff was very friendly and made the tournament very special to all the players. The weather was perfect for golf with the sun shining and temperatures warm. John Fryman of Columbus, OH posted a strong 77 to take the first place honors in Championship Flight. John had two birdies propelling him to the win. In the “A” Flight, Steve Lawrence of Columbus, OH and Jared Minor of Gahanna, OH shot 79’s to tie for first place. Steve defeated Jared on the first hole of a playoff. Michael Lackey of Cincinnati, OH and David Pasqualone of Delaware, OH fired 87’s to tie for the first place in “B” flight. Michael won the playoff on the second hole. In the “C” flight, Cham Kahari of Columbus, OH stayed steady and fired a nice 88 to take the win. Finishing in second place was Billy Chang of New Albany, OH with a 90. Keith Weaver of Mansfield, OH held on to win the “D” flight with an impressive 91.
