SEASON CHAMPIONS CROWNED

 

The 2026 Season closes with another great year of events. We played 13 local Charlotte events and hosted our Regional event at Sequoyah National GC. We had 169 Tour Players registered this year for the Charlotte Tour. We can't thank our Tour Players enough for the support and choosing to play in 2026. We are already working on some great stops for 2027 and looking towards Nationals in October 2026.

SOGGY DAY TWO DOESN'T DETER FIREWORKS IN SEASON FINALE ????? 

 
Clubhouse 1936 at Monroe Country Club played host to the 2-day Season Finale to close out 2026. Perfect conditions on Saturday gave way to soggy, rainy conditions on Sunday. The leaderboard turned over in several times and 2 flights went into extra holes to determine the winner. All the while, the Season Flight Champions hung in the balance.
 
Scott Sperber capped off a great season with a stellar 75 through the rainy conditions on Day 2. He collected his second win of the season with 3 birdies through the weekend. His win put him in the 2nd spot of the Season Flight Championship.
Kevin O'Donoghue emerged from the pack chasing several leaders who carded amazing round on Day 1, to take his 3rd win of the season and his second double-point trophy. Kevin shot a steady 79 and was among 4 players chasing down Tim Smith. Kevin continued his tidy play through the rainy conditions and was able to slip past all the chasers by just 1 stroke. With the win, Kevin takes 2nd place on the Season Flight Championship.
Steven Williamson was feeling pretty good about his first round 81 until he looked at the leaderboard and saw Chris Belcher blistered the course with a 2-birdie 76! Chris was vying for the Season Championship and had one thing in mind...win. The rainy conditions had other plans in mind for both Steven and Chris who battled each other all day to wind up in a Playoff! "PLAYOOFF!" It took three extra holes for Steven to best Chris and take the trophy. Chris's second place did earn him 2nd in the Flight Championship and capped off a great year!
Gary Nivens breaks through for his first C Flight trophy of the season and came out swinging in round 1 with a blistering 82. The lead was enough to give Gary plenty of breathing room through the final round rain, carding a 91 and maintained a 4 shot differential on the field.
Sylvester Vaughns caps off a terrific season with his second win of 2026. Sylvester started Sunday in second position after firing a tidy, 2-birdie 89 on Day 1. After another solid round of 90 in the rain, Sylvester found himself all square with Augusta Amateur Golf Tour Senior, TJ James and CLT veteran Tour Player, Dan Keddie. The three went into a play off and Sylvester prevailed to take the win and vault up the Season Table to 3rd Place!
