Carolinas Golf Reporters Association

A little competition and some important time with fellow professionals.

Perfect Weather Brings Quality Scores

The team of Jack Reitzel and Gene Hudson took the led by three on the first day competing on The Reserve Club at St James Plantation. One team, forgetting to return their score card will take issue with this for years to come.

The championship team of Reitzel and Hudson closed out the deal at The Founders Club at St James Plantation with just two birdies and no doubles. With all the treachery that Founders has to offer, that is great shootin’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second flight was won by Steve Williams and his new partner “X FACTOR”. In case this report is looked at 20 years from now…. Steve’s partner, Howard Ward had to WDI at the last minute. Steve scored on his own ball adjusted to reflect the six double bogies Howard would have had anyway.

(we love ya’ Howard – get better soon).
