Theme for the day, Heat Index…  I’m not sure if we have had a day that has felt this hot on the golf course.  Team that with the always tough Firethorne course itself and the winners ultimately persevered to take home the trophies on this day.

In the Champ Flight, it was once again, Joe Jaspers who took home the 1^st place trophy shooting the only under-par round on the day.  Joe’s 1 under 71 was one better than Jim Aughtry who shot an even par round of 72.  This was Jim’s 3^rd consecutive AGT tournament round of 72.  Charles Devenney a recent A flight graduate shot a 2 over par round of 74 and took home 3^rdplace honors.  This was Charles first top 4 placing in the Championship flight, congratulations on a well-deserved finish.  Rounding out the top 4 was Central Carolina’s Jared Jewett with a 3 over par round of 75.

In the A Flight it was Central Carolina’s Ivan Jones who took first place honors with a  3 over par round of 75.  Ivan’s card was one of the final A flight cards to post as Tom Chambers and Michael Brandenburg were set to head on out on the course to settle their tie.  As it turned out, with Ivan’s round being posted, Tom and Michael went to the cards to settle the 2^nd place Tie of 76’s.  It was Chambers who took second and Brandenburg settling for 3^rd.   Rounding out the top 4 was AJ Jackson with round of 80 who again won a scorecard playoff with recent B Flight Graduate, Allen Hagen.

In the B Flight it was looking to be an on-course playoff between Geof Smith and Greg Sherill who shot rounds of 83.  But later arriving cards by Duane Fisher, of Central Carolina, who shot an 82, then to top those scores was Dan Boeving’s 79 to take the top honors…  Geof Smith took home the 3^rd place honors via a scorecard playoff.

In C Flight, Tony Pharr lapped the field today with a great round of 80.  Rondal Gibson took second place with another good round of 86.  3^rdplace was decided by a scorecard playoff between Gene Bass and Larry Hinson who both shot 87.  Gene took home 3^rdand Larry 4^th.

In the D flight, it was Derek Kemp who continues his good play in the D flight winning with a Total of 95. Jon MacIsaac took home second place honors by again beating Mark Stone in a Scorecard playoff, both players shooting rounds of 98.
