Winter Freezer Kicks off the season
in Style
The Charleston
Tour kicked off their Season at Wild Dunes Harbor Course and for once the
weather cooperated; well sort of. The temperature’s
reached inot the high 50’s but the wind also reached up into the high teens!
The
Championship Flight had hank Seiling put together a very strong back nine that
played into the wind to take home top honors.
Hank’s back nine was two shots better than Mike Cobb’s and that proved
to be the difference as Hank finished one shot in front of Mike with newcomer
Terence Jenkins rounding out the top three in his first event.
In the A flight,
Glenn Powell defended his title from last year by firing a very steady round of
76. Dan Wanner used a very solid finish
of 4-4 on holes 17 and 18 to shoot 79 and finish in second place in front of
trio of golfers who finished at 80.
Daren Navaro, Sean Kenneck and Matt Latorre all tied with Daren take
home the third place money on the back nine scorecard playoff.
The B flight
had good friends Beth Hunt and John Saager battling it out all day. John was one shot back at the turn and Beth
held him off and finished with a very nice round of 78 to John’s 80. There was a two-way tie for 3rd
with Tim Sumption getting the nod with a back nine score of 37 to James Ravenel’s
40.
The C flight
had the most excitement of the day as Julie Johnson and Sam Marano both posted
nice rounds of 86 to finish tied for first one shot clear of Tom Brady. In the playoff, both Julie and Sam rolled in
clutch birdies on the first hole. On the
second hole Sam rolled in a par putt to take home the first place honors.
The D flight
had a couple visitors show that their drive was well worth it. Randy Ross of the Atlanta tour had a very
nice round of 90 to finish one shot in front of Charlestons Cleve Johnson and
Eastern Tours Delfino Anguiano. Del took
home second place money by virtue of his back nine score of 41 to Cleve’s 43.
All in all
it was a great way to start the year.
