81 Players took to the course to battle over this favorite course in Davidson, NC. It was another hot and humid day and some players were very hot in terms of scoring on this afternoon.
In the Championship Flight, it was our points leader that took home another title. Scott's 3 under par round of 69 was 3 better than a couple of players. George Harris and Jeff Brischke tied for second at Even par. Jeff wins the tie breaker with a better back nine score. Jerry Sennett takes fourth with a score of 73 and Jim Popp rounds out the top 5 with a score of 75, +3.
In the A Flight it was Randall Gaston returning to the winners circle by finishing off his round in style. With Birdies on 17 and 18, he was able to hold for a one shot victory. His score of 77 was was one better than Johnny Moffett who shoots 78. Third thru fifth place had to be settled by a scorecard playoff as 3 golfers tied at 80. When the dust settled, Mike Keffer takes third, Mark Cousar takes fourth and Dave Ezell takes fifth.
In the B Flight, Rondal Gibson shoots a great round of +9, 81 to win by 1 over Jim Brand and John Rinaldi. Jim wins the scorecard playoff for second with a better back nine and John settles for third. Sly Stevens takes 4th shooting 83 and beating out Ron Mason on the scorecard playoff. Ron settle for fifth.
In the C Flight, we had our largest margin of victory as Mike James played an outstanding round shooting 81 that included a triple bogie on 18. After the win, Mike was informed that he would be receiving a battlefield promotion to the B Flight for his next event. Mike has proven that he can compete at the next level. In Second place, Kevin Lepage our current points leader, shoots 88. Michael Peltz and Tommy Phillips both shoot 90 to claim third (Mike) and fourth (Tommy) respectively. Rounding out the Top 5 was Steve Daniels shooting 91.
