Piedmont Senior Amateurs Take on Pete Dye River Course of VT in Season's 3rd Major

 

Radford, Va.

August 7, 2012

                30 Senior Amateur Golfers ascended on Virginia Tech’s Pete Dye River Course today to compete in their 3rd Major tournament of their season. The River Course known to be one of the Top College courses in the country proved to be quite a challenge for the participants trying to earn their pass to the National finals. The surrounding New River, high waste areas, coffin bunkers, and fast breaking greens all made their presence felt by most of the players; as only nine were able to break the 80 mark.

                In the Championship Flight John Sutton from Pilot used his local knowledge of the course along with his golfing skills to propel him to his pass to the Nationals .Sutton, carded 4 birdies to shoot the best score of his Tour season recording a 1 under par 71 and a first place finish. Not far behind with a 3 birdie attack was Terry Towler from Dillwyn who finished 2nd with a 75; and Keith Myers from Roanoke who also recorded a 75 finished 3rd after a match of scorecards tie-breaker. Last tournaments winner; Tim Chocklett from Vinton claimed 4th place this time while shooting a 79.

                The A Flight was once again dominated by Frankie Smith from Lynchburg who with his win today has won the flight in all 3 Majors this season. Smith carded 2 birdies in route to his 2 over par 74. Tour guest Vic Hardy from Danville also shot a 74 today which would have put him in a sudden death playoff with Smith had he been a current Tour member. John Maddox of Rustburg claimed the 2nd place Tour prize in the flight with his 78. Kevin Kiser from Danville was able to take 3rd with his 79 finish.

                Robert Agee from Danville picked up his 1st win of the season and automatic Nationals qualification by recording his season best score of 78. Agee had no prior knowledge of the course but stated that he really liked the layout and looked forward to returning to play it again. Sam Moser from South Boston took 2nd place with an 80; and Bill Knarr from Verona finished 3rd with an 83 to help celebrate his birthday.

                David Davis from Martinsville claimed his 1st Major victory and 4th Tour victory of the season by shooting a 91 in the C Flight. This win Guarantees Davis a spot in the Nationals to be held in November at Pinehurst. Finishing in 2nd place was Dan Morgan from Danville with a 95; while Danny Wright from Big Island claimed 3rd with a 96.

                The Tour‘s next tournament will be at Devil’s Knob /Wintergreen Resort on Tuesday August 21st beginning at 10:00am. The cost is $65 and registration must be made by August 14th. Register at www.senioramateurgolftour.net on Piedmont Virginia link.
