Tee Boxes for the tournament:

Champ & A Flight (Black)

B, C & D Flight: (Blue)

Championship Flight:

Joe Jaspers started the day by rolling in a 30 footer on number one for a birdie 3.  The next two holes Joe made pars but then #4 came up and bit him.  Jaspers hit 2 balls out of bounds and carded his highest ever score on tour a "9".  Joe did not let this discourage or end his round like a lot of us would, but used it to motivate himself.  Joe made the turn at 39 with another birdie at 6 and then caught fire on the back nine shooting a four under par 32.  Jaspers had 7 birdies on the day to more than erase the 9, and posted a stellar one under par 71 for the victory.  David Schmidt played well on the back nine shooting a one under par 35 but could not keep up with Jaspers birdie barrage and finished in solo second with 74.  Jim Aughtry grabbed third with 76 and Bill Hall 4^th at 80.

A Flight:

Saw the only sudden-death playoff of the day as three players went back out to the par four 18^th to decide the winner.  Mike Nasekos was the first to drop out as he made a bogie five.  Jason Breedlove and Mike Parker then continued on to the first hole which Breedlove grabbed victory with a par.  The fourth place finisher was Steve Espin beating out new comer Sean Kelley on the card.

B Flight:

Phil VanGeersdaelen posted his first victory since 2008 winning by four shots on Saturday.  Phil’s back nine 38 is what helped seal his victory over Joel Barlowe & Rich Daniel who both shot 85’s.  Jimmy Chapman finished in fourth place with 86 beating out Rick Fliss on the card playoff.  With his victory Phil also took over the B Flight points lead.

C Flight:

Nolan Elenz really got it rolling Saturday for his first victory of the season.  Elenz posted his best round ever on tour with a smooth 81 beating out Larry Hinson by four shots.  Bill Holland and Kevin White both fired 86’s but it was Holland cashing third place money on the card.

D Flight:

Richard Marrazza won going away with a strong 86.  The score put him in a move to C flight, congrats Richard on your improved play.  Don Varble was second with 109 beating out Dan Doyle on the card playoff.
