SENIOR TOUR MEMBERS GAIN PROMOTIONS AFTER FOREST OAKS TOURNAMENT

Greensboro, NC

July 31, 2014

Playing on some of the best fairways the Tour has seen in recent memory, Sanford's Chuck Smith and Dennis Bryant of Sophia both moved up a notch to a higher level of competition with their results on the Senior Amateur Golf Tour event held at Forest Oaks Country Club. Both golfers had their Tour handicaps lowered enough with today's scores to gain promotions to the next level of competition.

Smith, who is competing in his first year "on-Tour", will go from B Flight to A after posted a 76 that was 3 strokes better than Graham's Daniel Floyd and High Point's Homer Baker. Smith has been a consistent force in the B Flight since the season's start.

Bryant, who has been a C Flight regular for quite a few years, fired a 78. He also enjoyed a 3 shot margin of victory over Pittsboro's Dwight Davis. "Both Smith and Bryant hit the ball a long way", noted Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. "That's always been there. The improvement with the rest of their game has been noticeable".

Playing from almost 500 yards further back than the B & C Flights, Champ and A Flight winners produced the same winning scores. 76 was enough to take the top spot in both flights, although the Championship Flight winner, Craig Sturdivant, had to do a little extra for his win. The Sanford resident had to hold off High Point's Joey Moffitt in a sudden-death playoff for the win.

Raleigh's Don Moore in the A Flight didn't have to put in that "overtime" as he was 2 shots clear of Zebulon's Jim Alford and Rockingham's Sonny Rose after regulation play.

Tour Weather Guidelines

Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.

The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).

In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.

Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.

If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.

Sanford, NC (August 14 , 2014) - Everything worked out perfectly today for Graham's Wilson Shelton in the Senior Amateur Golf Tour event held at Carolina Trace (The Lake Course). Not only was the course in superlative condition with sunny skies and mid-70s temperatures, but in addition to that Shelton was able secure his first A Flight win of the 2014 campaign. Not that Shelton hadn't tasted victory before "on-Tour' - he had 4 top finishes under his belt going into this year, but this one was special as he recorded his lowest Tour score ever with a 71.

"The key to today was my irons", said Shelton. "I was hitting it close all day. On one par 3 I was about 5 feet away and on another it was slightly more than 7 feet". (The second held up for a closest-to-the-pin prize). "My putting was pretty good too".

Creedmoor's Cecil Lockley fired a 73 for solo second place. A total of six A Flight members broke 80, but in the B Flight, Columbus, Ohio's Bob Ubbing was the only player to surpass that mark with a 79. Ubbing was 3 strokes clear of Sanford's Dick Kuehl, who was literally playing in his backyard as a resident of Carolina Trace.

It took three extra holes to determine a C Flight Champion as Pinehurst's Marty Carpenter outlasted Pittsboro's Dwight Davis in a playoff after both had posted 85s during regulation play. Greensboro's Mike Hunter was 2 back of the duo.

Once again the Championship Flight played from tees that were almost 400 yards longer than that of their lower flight counterparts. "Those guys were playing a different golf course", stated Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck. High Point's Joey Moffitt emerged as the victor over Sanford's Craig Sturdivant by one shot - 75 to 76.

Next week the Tour will play the season's 4th and final Major Championship at Anderson Creek GC in Spring Lake. Limited spots are still available for that event.
