Our PCM9GA conducted its ninth annual Three Stage Club Championship Tournament on March 19, 26 and April 2 with a total of 84 highly motivated PCM9GA golfers participating utilizing all three of our Tuscany nine hole courses on a rotational basis.
As in previous years for this annual championship event, a total of four foursome flights were set up as the A, B, C and D flights based upon their prevailing established AGA handicaps. For each of the three events, the gross and low net handicap adjusted scores were compiled and the competition was extremely close and the excitement level built up quite dramatically prior to the third and final event on April 9. As the final scores were being compiled in the patio in back of the Tuscany Pro Shop, the competition was ever so close as those golfers with potential flight winning scores, enjoying their beer and refreshments, could hardly wait to see the final results.
Our group of well over 125 total golfers, including the non-tournament players, loudly applauded the announced low gross and low net winners which were Mike D’Onofrio with a quite awesome gross score of 120 and Randy Prinz with an equally exceptional low net of 92. Likewise we congratulated our remaining flight winners which were Ray Baumbach, Flight A with a net 100. Bill Schroeder, Flight B with a net 98 and last, but by no means least, Kevin Bentson with a low net of 94.
A summary of this year’s 2015 PCM9GA Club Champion winners were as follows:
Low Net Club Champion – Randy Prinz – 92; second Kevin Bentson – 94; third Bill Schroeder – 98
