"BUNDLED UP"
On March 28th of 2015, Players from 5 different
states representing 4 Golf Channel Am Tours congregated in Newport News, Va. to
compete in The Challenge at Deer Run. One thing was learned at Newport News
Golf Club that day………….
WINTER WAS NOT YET FINISHED!!!
Already cold temperatures were understated by just saying, “It’s
cold”. Aided by overcast skies and a steady wind the day was downright frigid.
The already long Championship course at Deer Run played even longer due to a saturating
rain the day before and the effects the winter weather had issued to the
course. However, given the stated conditions the play was impressive as the
competition heated up throughout the flights. Some remarkable winning scores
were posted as the thoughts after the tournament turned to the next venue and
hopes for warmer weather.
CHAMPIONSHIP FLIGHT
Puerto Rico Amateur Champion, Tip Wight of the Richmond Golf
Channel Am Tour, claimed “Top Honors” by firing a 3 over par 75 on the Deer Run
layout for his 1st Local tournament win of the 2015 season. DC Tour player
Jennifer Kitchen finished in 2nd followed by Jay Corazza of the
Richmond Tour.
HOGAN FLIGHT
It’s always a pleasure to see a new member get their 1st
win on the Golf Channel Am Tour and it was witnessed Saturday at the Newport
News Golf Club at Deer Run as DC Tour player Kevin Green was awarded the Trophy
after shooting an 82 to win the Hogan Flight. Green was followed by Richmond
Tour player Tom Yeager in 2nd and new Richmond member Hudson Crabb in
3rd
SARAZEN FLIGHT
Long time Richmond Golf Channel Am Tour member MichaelDavidson is showing no signs of let up in starting the 2015 season as he posted
his 2nd victory in two tournaments. Davidson was deadlocked with DC
Tour player Steven Byers at the turn, but registered 4 pars over the remaining
9 holes to pull out the win. Byers finished 2nd, with Richmond Tour
member Ronald Velasco coming in 3rd.
SENIOR SARAZEN FLIGHT
The Sr. Sarazen Trophy headed back North for the 2nd
week in a row as Willie Dixon, of the DC, Tour took possession of it after
touring the soggy Deer Run course with a score of 88. George Garnier,
(Baltimore Tour) and Kerry Greer, (DC Tour) tied for 2nd.
JONES FLIGHT
After watching the Trophy go North with a 2nd
place finish the week before, Kenneth Cherry, of the Richmond Golf Channel Am
Tour made sure there would be no “Déjà vu”. Ken put up a score of 87 to best
closest competitor, DC Tour player, Richard Phillips by 3 shots. Bill Crowley of the Richmond Tour
finished 3rd.
SNEAD FLIGHT
By posting his lowest Tour round since the fall of 2013, with
an 89, Richmond Tour member Keenan Davis was able to claim his 2nd
