We had a great tournament at Heron Bay Golf Club on Saturday! Although the fairways were soft and we had to play lift, clean and place, the greens were in good shape and the weather was perfect!
Jim Weick had the round of the day – and the season, so far. He shot a 4-under Par 68 to run away with the Championship Flight trophy. Jim carded five – five! – birdies and just a single bogey during the round. Congratulations, Jim. That’s an awesome round! Nick Fernandez finished second with a 74.
This was another double skins tournament and several players cashed in big! Including rollover money from Emerald Hills, the Jones Flight skins pool was $520. John Copeland took home $347 of that for his birdies on 11 & 14 and Keith Varney pocketed $173 for his birdie on #3. In the Snead Flight, there was $720 in the pool , so George Blanton and Jorge Lorenzo each pocketed $360 for their birdies. Jason birdied #13 and Jorge birdied #15. Gene Johnson, Jay Malanga, Thomas Briggs, Tom Porter, Dave Sherry and Terry Willie pocketed $100 apiece for their birdies in the Palmer and Hogan Flights.
Congratulations, guys!
In case you’re wondering, this Saturday’s tournament at Polo Trace is also a double-skins event.
In other action at Heron Bay, Jeff True from Naples, FL broke a two-year drought, winning the Palmer Flight with a nice 78, while Gene Johnson finished two strokes back at 80. In the Hogan Flight, Tom Porter posted another great round, shooting 76 to win his second event of the 2012 Season. Randy Bryant finished second at 82.
Alejandro Scholtz added to his trophy collection by posting an 80 in the Sarazen Flight, edging Chris Nelson by a single stroke for the win. In the Jones Flight, Keith Varney continues to improve his game after his 2011 promotion. Keith fired an 83 on Saturday and he needed every putt, with John Methvin finishing just one stroke back at 84.
George Blanton cruised to victory in the Snead Flight, winning by five strokes with a 91. John Daglaris finished second at 96.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Also, many thanks to the maintenance crew at Heron Bay, who did a great job of getting the course in tournament shape after an incredible amount of rain earlier in the week.
