"NEW NAME - NEW FORMAT" FOR TRIAD AND RALEIGH/PINEHURST GOLFWEEK TOURS

THE CENTRAL CAROLINA TOUR

 

Some new and exciting changes are in store for the Triad and Raleigh/Pinehurst Golfweek Amateur Golf Tours for 2015. A new Tour name and some special new venues are on-tap for the coming year.

As all Tour "veterans" are aware, in the past the Triad and Raleigh/Pinehurst Tour schedules have been identical.

 

Beginning on the 2015 schedule, the two tours will be merged to form a newly named Tour: The Central Carolina Tour.

 

By taking this step we will avoid any confusion as to where you may have finished overall in a certain event because all competitors will be listed together for each tournament on the website. While this will result in having only one Points Standings listing, the prize pool and everything else will remain the same.

 

To avoid confusion both the Triad and Raleigh/Pinehurst Tours will remain on the "Select a Tour" spot on the website's front page until after the regular seasonstarts. That way returning members who are not aware of the merger and name change will still be able to sign-up for membership or events the way they always have. Once the seasonstarts all players will be directed to go to the "Central Carolina" page.

 

As we have done every year, we will extend a $10 discount for early membership payment prior to January 15. The normal membership fee for 2015 is $95.00, with the discount it will be $85.00.

 

I'm very pleased to announce two new totally private venues that will be on the 2015 schedule: Willow Creek Country Club in High Point and Pinewild (Holly Course) Country Club in Pinehurst. In addition, we will welcome back a few courses we didn't visit last year: Grandover Resort (East Course), The Neuse, Salem Glen, and Longleaf Golf Club.

 

Well that's about it for the new information. Dust off those clubs, put some gloves on, hit a few practice shots and get ready to start the 2015 season.

 

We'll once again have two Pre-Season Events: January 31 at The Legacy and February 28 at Longleaf, both in the Pinehurst area. Hope to see you there.

Golfweek Amateur Golf Tour

The Central Carolina Tour

 

 

Once again, we've got a great line-up of premium courses scheduled and look forward to another year of fun competition with these top-draw venues.   

 

We'll kick the season off with our annual visit to The Legacy Golf Links in Aberdeen on Saturday, January 31. This is a pre-season event to which I invite both the Golfweek and Senior Tours. Because of that mix, no points will be awarded, but the prize pool is generally one of the largest of the season.

 

Legacy Golf Course:      2015 Pre-Season #1           January 31, 2015

 

Historically this event sells out, so if you have interest in playing, I'm taking entries now for roster spots. Just email me or call me to let me know if you want to play.

 

 

If you can't make that event, or if you want to wait a few weeks for "warmer" temperatures, a second pre-season event will be held at The Golf Club at Longleaf on Saturday, February 28. This event also has a history of filling up, so one again, give me an early "heads-up" if you want to play at Longleaf.

 

Longleaf Country Club:     2015 Pre-Season #2        February 28, 2015

 

 

The regular season will start March 7 at Bermuda Run.  Points, prizes, and your Tour "goodies" that you purchased with your membership will be distributed at that event.

 

Early season events always produce a good field and this year should be no exception.

 

 

REMINDER - EARLY SIGN-UP DISCOUNT

 

As I have done for the last few years, I am extending an Early Sign-Up Discount to any member who would like to sign-up for the season prior to January 15. The normal membership dues are $95.00, if you pay by the date noted, I will offer a $10.00 discount, resulting in an $85.00 annual membership fee.

 

No problem if you prefer to wait until your first event, at which time the membership cost will be the normal annual fee of $95.00 - your call.

 

Part of the annual membership, in addition to the "goodies" received last season, will be entry into the USGA Handicap System.

 

We look forward to another very successful year with excellent courses (many of them private) and first rate competition.

 

As always,to register and to sign-up to play or if you have any questions, or need any assistance, please call me at 336-495-6556, or email me at behgolf@aol.com.

PINEHURST HOSTS SENIOR AM TOUR NATIONAL FINALS

 

Pinehurst, NC  (November 13, 2014)  -  Two Hundred Twenty Eight Senior Amateur Golf Tour members representing fifteen states and twenty-one cities converged on four premier venues (Pinehurst #9, Pinewild Country Club, The Legacy Golf Links, and Seven Lakes Country Club) this Tuesday and Wednesday to contest the 16th annual Senior Amateur Golf Tour National Championships.

 

The field was greeted by seasonably warm and sunny weather to compete for the $10,000.00 prize pool in Edwin Watts gift certificates.  "We had to deal with some pretty rough weather the last two years", stated Tour Founder Dennis McCormac.  "(It) could not have been better this year.  With four superior courses in play, the guys really had a great time".

 

Arguably Yorktown, VA's Brian Layne had the best time of all.  After winning A Flight first place honors at last year's National Finals, Layne moved up to compete with the big boys in the Championship Flight this year.  All he did was make it two-in-a-row with a 2-day score of 147, besting Charlotte's Dave Brown by a single stroke.

 

Layne, who only started playing golf 8 years ago stated "I love any kind of competition and felt I was playing too good to stay in A Flight".  His results this week proved him right.

 

Consistency was the key for the A Flight winner, Charlotte's Tom Carbone.  He hit 24 of 28 fairways with only one 3-putt during the 2-day competition.  Carbone, who didn't win a single event this year on his home Tour's schedule, said "Getting off to a good start the first day at Pinewild was the key to my win.  I only had 29 putts that day".

 

Tour rookie Dick Kuehl out of Sanford, NC's Carolina Trace CC, had a relatively comfortable 4 stroke margin of victory with a 2-day score of 159 in securing the B Flight win.  "I wasn't long but safe off the tee and my irons were pretty accurate both days", stated Kuehl.  “I made a bunch of 5 and 6 footers today which really helped".

 

Pinehurst's John Henely was one of only three C Flight competitors to break 90 both days of the event with a total of 86-85 - 171.  After hitting the ball straight all day, Henely was 1 shot down on the final hole of the tournament, facing a long iron shot over water.  He hit the shot purely and made par, giving him the win.

 

In the team competition, which is based on the total strokes of the top two finishers from each tour in each flight, the Raleigh/Pinehurst Tour emerged victorious, snapping a 6-year "stranglehold" that the Charlotte Tour had on the team trophy.  Their 1281 total bested Charlotte by a mere 5 strokes.

 

"The last time we won it was 2006" said Raleigh/Pinehurst Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck.  "It was about time we got it back".

"NEW NAME - NEW FORMAT" FOR TRIAD AND
RALEIGH/PINEHURST GOLFWEEK TOURS


THE CENTRAL CAROLINA TOUR


 


Some new and
exciting changes are in store for the Triad and Raleigh/Pinehurst
Golfweek Amateur Golf Tours for 2015. A new Tour name and some special
new venues are on-tap for the coming year.


As all Tour
"veterans" are aware, in the past the Triad and
Raleigh/Pinehurst Tour schedules have been identical.


 


Beginning on the
2015 schedule, the two tours will be merged to form a newly named Tour:
The Central Carolina Tour.


 


By taking this step
we will avoid any confusion as to where you may have finished overall in
a certain event because all competitors will be listed together for each
tournament on the website. While this will result in having only one
Points Standings listing, the prize pool and everything else will remain
the same.


 


To avoid confusion
both the Triad and Raleigh/Pinehurst Tours will remain on the
"Select a Tour" spot on the website's front page until after
the regular seasonstarts. That way returning members who are not aware of
the merger and name change will still be able to sign-up for membership
or events the way they always have. Once the seasonstarts all players
will be directed to go to the "Central Carolina" page.


 


As we have done
every year, we will extend a $10 discount for early membership payment
prior to January 15. The normal membership fee for 2015 is $95.00, with
the discount it will be $85.00.


 


I'm very pleased to
announce two new totally private venues that will be on the 2015
schedule: Willow Creek Country Club in High Point and Pinewild (Holly
Course) Country Club in Pinehurst. In addition, we will welcome back a
few courses we didn't visit last year: Grandover Resort (East Course),
The Neuse, Salem Glen, and Longleaf Golf Club.


 


Well that's about it
for the new information. Dust off those clubs, put some gloves on, hit a
few practice shots and get ready to start the 2015 season.


 


We'll once again
have two Pre-Season Events: January 31 at The Legacy and February 28 at
Longleaf, both in the Pinehurst area. Hope to see you there.

If you can't make

event.


 


Early season events
always produce a good field and this year should be no exception.
