Love Our Veterans Tournament
February 12, 2026
On Thursday Feb 12th, Central Carolina Senior Amateur Golf Tour arrived in Southern Pines to tackle Hyland GC. The weather was cool but the golfers were hot!
In the Champ flight, Eli Villanueva shot a nice one over par round of 73 to notch his second consecutive victory. Well done Eli! Dean Parziale grabbed the runner up position with a round of 75, while Gerald Lewis took third place with a 78. Fourth place was a T4 ending as Steve Lassiter and Kevin McDougald returned matching scores of 80.
Despite the cooler temps, Ron Brady started out hot in the A flight and stayed that way to the end finishing with a round of two under par 70. Outstanding golf Ron! Johnny Sears finished in second with his score of 73, as Jay Yergeau and Mike Atwood ended the round T3 with a pair of 75’s. Fifth place also was a tie with Courtney Messingham from the Eastern NC Tour and Les Rand recording identical scores of 76.
The hot golf continued into the B flight as Mike Wolshenholme posted a great round of even par 72 in a seven shot win. Awesome golf Mike! Cisco Almodovar’s 79 was the second place score, while Michael Broadway placed third shooting 80. Fourth place was claimed by Dave Turner with his round of 81, and David Sigers checked in from the Eastern NC Tour to take fifth with an 82.
In the C flight, Mike Groom shot a round of 86 en route to the two stroke victory in his first event of the new season. Great job Mike! The runner up slot was shared by two players as Brian Headley and James Adamski both finished their day with rounds of 88. Benton Smith snagged fourth place by shooting 91, while Herbert Seal rounded out the top five scores carding a 99.
Another hot score was turned in by Marty Carpenter in the D flight. He fired a round of 80 giving him the win. Well played Marty! Cal Rogers took the runner up honors with a score of 89, while Michael Kessler captured third place by posting 91. Steve Howard shot 92 to take fourth place home and Jim Witko completed the top five scoring shooting 93.
Next up for Central Carolina will be the Keith Hills Golf Club at Campbell University in Lillington on Thur Feb 26th. It’s a 10am shotgun start. If you haven’t had the pleasure before, get online and sign up. You don’t want to miss this gem. You won’t be sorry.
Green Grass Opener
Quail Ridge GC
January 22, 2026
The Central Carolina Senior Amateur Golf Tour kicked off the 2026 season with the Green Grass Open on January 22nd at the beautiful Golf Club at Quail Ridge in Sanford. The course was in great condition as always and the weather definitely cooperated.
In the Champ flight, Eli Villanueva kicked off the new season by shooting a one over par 73 in the four shot victory. Kudos Eli! Dean Parziale captured the runner up position with his round of 77, while Steve Lassiter carded 78 in the third place finish. Spurling Cook’s round of 79 gave him fourth place, and Gerald Lewis rounded out the top five with his score of 81.
In the A flight, Jay Yergeau shot 77 to eke out the single stroke victory while giving Jay his first win of the season. Outstanding golf Jay! Cecil Lockley grabbed runner up honors with a round of 78, while third place was a T3 finish as Paul Hundhammer, and Johnny Taylor from the Eastern NC Tour posted scores of 81. Meanwhile, no less than four players recorded matching fifth place scores of 82. Courtney Messingham, Mike Atwood, Tour Director Chuck Smith, and Les Rand all shared in the T5 ending.
Ron Hockensmith shot an excellent round of 75 to claim the first B flight victory of the 2026 season. Awesome golf Ron! Mike Wolstenholme’s round of 80 secured a solid second place. Third place became a T3 as Gil Ro and Bobby Shipwash turned in matching scorecards of 82. David Sigers from the Eastern NC Tour closed out the top five scoring with a score of 83.
In the C flight, Brian Headley and Herbert Seal reported to the scoring table with matching rounds of 95. The Tour Manual requires an on course playoff for all first place ties so they jumped into their carts and headed to hole one. Arriving at the green, the putters came out of the bags. When the dust had settled Brian’s par putt found the bottom of the cup, Herb’s did not. Well done Brian! Benton Smith knocked out a round of 98 in a third place finish, while William McDonald carded 103 for fourth place.
In the D flight, 18 holes of golf again could not decide a winner as Marty Carpenter and Tour Director Sola Smith ended their regulation play tied with scores of 95 requiring an on course sudden victory playoff. Marty and Sola took off for hole one to begin play. With both players on the first green, Marty rolled in a par putt that Sola didn’t cover. Congrats Marty! Sola’s 95 wrapped up the runner up slot, while Kelly Brown reported in with a round of 98 to take third place. Jimmy Dollar from the Eastern NC Tour fired 99 to claim fourth place, while Michael Kessler and Steve Howard rounded out the top five with their pair of 100’s.
Next up for the Central Carolina Tour is the “Love Our Service Members” Tournament at Hyland Golf Club in Southern Pines on Feb12th with a 10:00am shotgun start. Sign up today while it’s fresh in your mind!
