Lake Marion Champs; Cobb, Maland, Tarte, Flanigan, Nichols
The Charleston golfweek Amateur tour ventured up to Lake
Marion for their battle By The Lake Tournament and proceeded to battle it out!
The Championship, A and B flights all went to a
playoff. In the Championship Flight Mike
Cobb and Marty Bunch both fired rounds of one under par 71 to tie for the top
spot and proceeded to an on course playoff.
On the First hole Marty had a little trouble off the tee and could not
go at the green in two whereas Mike hit an Iron to the Par five for a two putt
birdie and his second win of the year.
The A flight saw Stephen Kauble and Eric Maland both fire spectacular
rounds of 5 over 77’s to tie for first.
Unfortunately Stephen had to leave and Eric was declared the winner;
great job by both golfers, coming in third in the A flight was Andy Balao who
has won previously at Lake Marion. In
the B flight, Tim Sumption and Myrtle Beach’s Brian Tarte both posted rounds of
83 to tie for the victory. This playoff
was also won on the first hole as Brian made par after Tim was in some
trouble. In the C flight. Mike Flanigan
posted one of his best rounds of the year firing a smooth 86 for a four-shot
victory over Cleve Johnson and Jack King who both posted solid rounds of 90 to
tie for second with Cleve taking the second place over Jack via a scorecard
playoff. In the D flight, Wesley Nichols
Parred the 18th to finish one shot in front of Aaron Chase,
93-94. Overall it was a good day for
golf and the course was in good shape after all the rain we received during the
week. Our next local event will be at
Seabrooks ocean Winds on Aug 3rd.
