B FLIGHT HEROICS HIGHLIGHT SENIOR AMATEUR TOUR EVENT
 
Lexington, NC 

May 10, 2012

 

Steve Wright of Deep Gap fired an even-par 71 at Sapona Country Club in the Championship Flight of the Senior Amateur Golf Tour to win the event in his very first Tour outing. Wright enjoyed a 4 shot cushion over runner-up Mike Smith of Lewisville, and got his Tour "career" off to a running start.  However, it was B Flight players who set off the biggest "fireworks".


Two remarkable shots and a personal best Tour effort took center stage in the B Flight competition at Sapona.


Durham's Neil Bleau had not broken 90 in his last 4 Tour events, so it was somewhat suprising when his group turned in his scorecard with a 75 on it.  "When Bleau goes low, he really goes low", said Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck.  "It was September of last year when Neil last broke 80 'on-Tour' with an identical 75 at The Carlson Farm Course of Greensboro Country Club.  It's good to see him back on-track".


Durham's Charles Smith was 2nd in the flight with a 78, highlighted by an eagle 2 on the 316 yard, par 4, Sixth Hole.  "Charles hit his 56 degree wedge right at the hole after a strong drive.  It ran right down the flagstick and into the cup', noted playing partner Jeff Moore of Burlington.


Not to be outdone, Advance's Dawson Strider, who tied for 3rd place in the flight with Pinehurst's Ed Zieglar, knocked a 4-iron hybrid into the cup from 172 yards on the 13th Hole for his 7th hole-in-one.  Ed Burton, playing with Strider said "It was right on the stick the whole way.  We saw it bounce a couple times. When we got to the green and didn't see it, we thought it might have gone over the green, but there it was - in the cup"!


Maybe not quite as dramatic, but equally impressive was Gus Alford's effort in the A Flight.  The Zebulon resident beat Randy Bunn, also from Zebulon and Durham's George Paris by 2 strokes - 73 to 75 for top honors.


Ed Ball of Winston-Salem has two Tour starts and has twice finished "in-the-money" with an 84 to top the C Flight.  He was 4 strokes clear of last week's winner - Mike Robinson of Greensboro.  Ball also won the only "Skin" rendered in the C Flight for a very profitable day indeed.  "Ed may be moving up to "B" pretty soon, based on his Tour handicap.  We'll take a look at it as we do for every Tour member", said Hallenbeck.  "Ed has indicated he's ready if that should happen".


The next Senior Tour event is the season's second Major Championship at Mill Creek Golf Club in Mebane.  There are just a few spots left for that event.  Any member who wants to play, but has not signed up, needs to contact Hallenbeck as soon as possible at 336-495-6556.

Do Not Make This Mistake in 2012!

 

Earlier this year, millions of people set a New Year's
resolution to make more 
money, but 99% of
them will fail to achieve them in 2012.


Their mistake? 

They focus too much on setting the goal and
ignore the need for an action plan.


But you can't get to a new place in life without directions.
 
If you want to build a business or a second income,
then you need a map.

Fortunately there is one prepared for you - a proven
blueprint for
additional income success.

 

All you have to do is take control of it on YOUR own terms and still be able to play golf when you want.

Find out more in this unique, free video presentation.

 

 

Where are you in the Point Standings Race?

 

There is great competition for the Top 10  golfers in each Flight which gets you a berth to the National Tournament in Pinehurst.

Rules Review
It has been suggested that there should be  a series of Rules scenarios for you to solve.  So begins a series of problems titled What's the Score?   Doc Miller has graciously agreed to allow me to share these with you that he has been sending since July 2009. I will include one each week.  You should try to determine the answer based upon your knowledge of the Rules when ever possible and then use your Rule book to confirm.   There will be no trick questions or hidden information. 

If you do not have a Rules of Golf book handy, go to: usga.org/Rule-Books and-Decisions

 

Click on any of links below or the Banners at right to see the special products and in some cases special pricing available to you.  They will be rotated each week.

 

EcoloBlue - produces Atmospheric Water Generators that produce pure water from the humidity in the air. Incredible product and has optional solar panels.  I am sure even the engineers would appreciate this one.
