The weather started cool and cloudy and Mother Nature chased golfers from the course for a period but eventually rounds were completed. 

In the Champ flight, eighteen holes of golf did not determine a winner as John East and Ken Eichele both posted rounds of 76 which required an on course playoff. John and Ken proceeded to hole one to find out who would take home the last W for this season.

Well Done John!  Joey Moffitt grabbed the third place slot with a round of 81, while Lee Everhart carded 83 for fourth place. Spurling Cook rounded out the top five with a score of 85.

Mr. Ron Brady posted another top three finish with a score of 80, while Bob MacWhinnie and Lee Everhart ended the day T4 as both carded scores of 81.

Ken Eichele continued his consistent golf taking third place shooting 80. Rounding out the top five, Wilson Shelton and Paul Hundhammer carded 82 finishing T4.

Eighteen holes of golf could not produce a winner in the C flight as Mike Groom, and Rich Henn from the Eastern NC Tour matched scorecards with 88’s.

Glenn Lewis and James Eatmon, both from the Eastern NC Tour, ended the round T3 shooting 89. Fifth place was also a tie as Patrick Warren and James McPherson both shot scores of 90.      

The D flight saw Gary Stacy from the Eastern NC Tour take control early as he coasted to a six shot win with a score of 85. Benton Smith was the runner up as Benton shot a score of 91. Barry Whitesell made his return to the tour an impressive showing as he posted 94 for a top three finish.
