Well done Lee!  John East was runner up with a round of 79, while Chris Wilkes from the Eastern NC Tour ended the day in third place with a score of 80.

An on course playoff was required in the A flight as three players shot scores of 78. So Frank Bunn, Ken Eichele, and Ben Wheaton returned to hole one to determine the winner.

On Thursday May 2^nd, the Central Carolina Senior Amateur Golf Tour arrived at the Challenge in Graham, NC for an early shotgun start.  The weather was absolutely perfect for golf.  The turn-out was small but the enthusiasm of the players was big!

In the Champ Flight, it was a run- away victory for Spurling Cook who was in a league all his own shooting an 83.  This win gave him the lead in the points race.  Great job Spurling!

The A flight players had a more dramatic finish as Ron Brady and Scott Ide, the Charlotte Tour Director tied for first place with a score of 75.  They had a sudden death play-off on Hole 1.  This is where Brady hit down the right side of the fairway and Ide hit on the left side. Brady’s approach shot reached the green which gave him the opportunity to putt for a birdie but missed that putt, tapped in for a par.  Ide’s approach shot missed the green so he chipped up and two putted for a bogey.  Brady pulled off a two putt for the par and won the first-place position!  Chuck Smith, our very own tour director, came in with a nice 78 to take third-place.  Paul Hundhammer came in fourth with an 82 and Ken Eichele came in with an 84 to place fifth.

Ken Eichele’s round of 87 gave him a fourth place finish, and Chris Johnson from the Eastern NC Tour rounded out the top five posting 91.

Eighteen holes of golf was insufficient to determine a winner in the B flight as Mark Harper, Brock Lynch, and Dave Baldwin all recorded identical rounds of 78 forcing a sudden victory playoff. So the players loaded up and rolled out to hole one. Brock and Dave made par on the first hole, but apparently Mark had enough fun for the day and rolled in a putt for birdie for the victory.

In the A flight, eighteen holes of regulation golf could not produce a winner as TD Chuck Smith and Ron Brady recorded matching scores of 82. By tour rule, an on course sudden victory playoff must determine the winner so Chuck and Ron made their way to the first tee. It was a short playoff this day as Chuck calmly rolled in a putt for par that Ron was unable to cover giving Chuck the victory. Great job Chuck! Ron was the obvious runner up, while Ron Hockensmith grabbed third place with his round of 83. Chris Rowland snagged fourth by carding an 89, and Jim Reardon rounded out the top five with a score of 91.
