Champ Flight:

Jeff Brischke took home the one stroke victory with 36 followed by Brd Kroll on the card for second Mark Hodges third and Dave Junkins fourth all at 37.

A Flight:

Gary Bell took home first by only one shot at 20 followed by Mike Ringuette at 21.  A host of 22’s followed but it was Paul Gargano and Bob Olsen getting third and fourth place money in the card playoffs.

B Flight:                      

Bob Boettner also wins by only one shot at 21 followed in solo second Stan Wetmore at 22.  Herbert White was third at 23 and Ray Schilling rounded out the top four spots at 24.

C Flight:

John Leak and Bill Sturgeon tied at 19 as they carded the same score on every hole so no tie could be broken on the card playoff.  Bill Holland and Sindo Mayor beat out five players at 20 to cash third and fourth place on the playoff.

Northstone was rain shortened but still n official tournament with points and prizes being awarded.

I’m sorry that the storms came in faster than we all expected but all of the groups did get at least nine holes in which makes it an official tournament.  The way we had to score the tournament was based on the same holes each flight played to gather totals for each flight.  Some flights had more of the same holes played than others but all the totals on all players are not being calculated into you tour index but the points and prizes were awarded.

A personal thanks to all of you who stayed and help me make sure all the flights were scored corrently and that we did scorecard playoffs on all ties like we normally do with lowest handicap holes being the deciding factor for what you see below.  As always we try to get the full tournament in but when play was stopped at 12:15 radar showed that it would be at least 5 to 6 hours before the system cleared so I called it after seeing the future radar.

One crazy thing happened was that the B & C flight skins pool ($230) will carry over to our next tournament at River Run on Monday April 24th.

Also the staff at Northstone felt bad that we could not finish as I know for many of you it is one of your favorite stops on tour.  The staff decided to extend the practice round rate of $40 for only those players  who played Wednesday thru the end of this month only (Tuesday-Thurday) after 12:00.  Please call the pro shop to book you tee times and still get your full round in with your friends on the tour.

Again thanks for your support of the Senior Amateur tour and a very rarified incomplete round something that rarely happens on this tour.
