Dyson, Aschmann, Marinelli, Ahn, Martin take home 1^st place honors.

Representative from 7 neighboring tours joined the Charlotte members to tackle TPC at Piper Glen.  Not only did they battle the course, but they had to battle the weather and patience as we had to suspend play during the round due to dangerous weather conditions in the immediate area.

Champ Flight:

Former Piper Glen member, Jobe Dyson used his course knowledge to not only take first place shooting 75, but also take home two Flight and two Super Skins.  Jered Jewett from the Central Carolina tour took home second place winning a score card playoff with Jared Autry, both players shooting 76.  Rounding out the top 4 was Bilal Ghandour shooting 82.

A Flight:

Paul Aschmann took home the first place trophy shooting a great round of 74.  AJ Jackson was two shots back shooting 76.  Dennis Reames and Scott Ilowite tied for 3^rd at 78, but it was Reames who won the scorecard playoff.

B Flight:

Nick Marinelli took home 1^stplace honors shooting 82 just beating out Jimmy Gryant and David Johnson who both shot 83.  Jimmy won the score card playoff in this matchup.  Rounding out the top 4 was Lawrence Whiteside shooting 85.

C Flight: 

Tour Rookie, Sean Ahn took home a 4 stroke victory shooting am 81.  Chuck Young took home 2^nd with an 85.  Another rookie in his first event, Jackson Rollins took home 3^rd with an 86.  Tony Pharr rounded out the top 4 shooting 87.

D Flight:

Michael Martin shot 90 to win by 4 strokes.  Vince Johnson took home second place with a 94.  Eric Herman finished 3^rdshooting 95 and Christopher Webb took home 4^th shooting 97.

I’d like to send a special shout out to Jamy Gillan (Michigan East and West Tour Director), who also joined us for the event and setup the live scoring system for our use.  As mentioned above, we had to suspend play due to lightening in the area.  Within the Live Scoring system, Jamy added a feature last year to notify all players that Play was under suspension.  We were the first tour to utilize this feature and I’m glad to say it worked perfectly.
