ABCC Takes Pro-Junior Championship

Pro Junior Championship

Presented by

NFJG TOUR-NCPGA Pro Junior Report

Another wonderful day on the golf course at The Golf Club at South Hampton . Sixty Junior Players and supporting Northern Chapter PGA Professionals shared the day creating magical moments on the course. The golf course was in excellent playing condition with fast greens and tucked pins which made for an outstanding experience for all who dared to take the challenge. The Shamble format of one best ball on par -5's, two best balls on par-4's and three best balls on par-3's came down to which team could hit it closer on the par 3's to take advantage of three low scores. The Closest to the Pin Winners, Colton Swartz, Ford Chandler, Carter Lewis and Davis Chandler hit it to a combined distance of all four holes of 7'-5" with Colton Swartz getting the closest shot of 1'-3". These kids are GOOD!!

The winning team from Atlantic Beach Country Club won two of the closest to the pin contests with a total of five feet of putts between the two to put a quick six under par on the board. Firing an impress score of 110 (26 under par) the ABCC five player team consisting of PGA Professional Spencer Brown, Sam Nicholson, Rowen Parker, Davis Chandler and Ford Chandler out scored last years champions and this years Runner up winning team from Sawgrass Country Club by six shots.

THE RESULTS

2016 Pro-Junior Champions from Sawgrass Country Club gave it a gallant effort to retain the Pro-Junior Championship EAGLE Award, but came up a just a little short. The Runner-up team of PGA Professional Aaron Russell, Carter Lewis, Jonathan Greco, Jack Powell and Daniel Mazur shot a very respectable total score of 116 (20 under par) to nip the Third Place Winning team by two strokes.

Head Golf Professional Mike Broderick from Sawgrass Country Club teamed with Jake Davis, Brody Stevenson, Jackson Klauk and Kayden James fought hard to take home one of the three EAGLE HEAD Awards. Their fighting Irish spirit gave them the edge over the fourth place finishers by two shots. The team shot 18 under par for a total score of 118.
