March 15, 2014 - Weekend Group - NCGA Sectional Qualifier

TC Dave Schutt holding Court

The Weekend Group competed on March 15, 2014, as the March 8 date was cancelled due to rain.  Even with all the rain, the course played fine, and it was amazing to see it green up real fast from all the rain.

In addition to the our clubs two person best ball, this also was a NCGC Sectional Qualifier.  Long time friends and buddies Dick "Ham" Jones and Steve "Eggs" Ackley finally put together an outstanding display of what some call "Ham & Eggs" by finishing the day with a net 60.  The low score now allows them to move onto the next NCGA qualifier for a change to go on to the final in Monterey.  The score of 60 also placed them in second for the club tournament.

To no ones surprise, two of the clubs most consistently straight hitting players Lonnie Podgoruy and Roy Jeske (along with Bob Benefiel) creamed the field with a blistering 58.  When these wo are on, I am not sure many can beat them.  They both are just too darm good, nice play men! With third place scores of 61,  Rick Pratt (a new comer) and returning member Eric Edgar tied with Wayne "Snake" Urbani and George "Wolf" Yanez.  It took careful review of the back nine to determine the team of Rick and Eric edged out the Wolf & Snake.

The following are the detailed results:

1st - LONNIE PODGORUY & ROY JESKE (58)

2nd - DICK JONES & STEVE ACKLEY (60) 1st NCGA QUALIFIERS

3rd - RICK PRATT & ERIC EDGAR (61)TIE BREAKER B9

4th - GEORGE YANEZ & WAYNE URBANI (61)

5th - RICHARD SANCHEZ & RODNEY DELNERO (62)

6th - BOB RUFF & SHAWN BREAKEY (64)

7th - MIKE TARDIO & JEFF ELMASIAN (66)

8th - TIM RAMIREZ & DAVID LEUTERIO (66)

9th - MARK EDGAR & BOB BENEFIEL (67)

10th - KEVIN GRANDERSON & DANTE DRAKE (67)

11th - GREG LEUTERIO & DAVE SCHUTT (68)
