CHESTATEE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP WAS A SUCCESS!!!!
Shaun
Kelley, Kissimmee, FL (+2 Hcp), playing in his first ASGTour event
posted the lowest gross score of the season (66) at the recently
completed Chestatee Open Championship in Dawsonville, GA.
Shaun finished
in a tie with Jim Holley, Atlanta, GA (13 Hcp) for first place. Both
players split first and second place money in lieu of a playoff. Shaun
was awarded the champions trophy by virtue of a USGA tiebreaker with the
low net score on the final nine holes.
This
was the first two-day event completed in our Atlanta District and
utilized a reduced two-day event entry fee of only $395. Even with the
lowered fee and a small field of seven players first place was awarded
$1,200 and second place money paid back 100% of the entry fee.
Another
point to note is the effectiveness of the ASGT handicapping system in
leveling the playing field. This event had players with handicaps of +2
(plus 2) and 13 both finishing even up at net two under par for
thirty-six holes, proving again everyone has an opportunity to win on
the ASGTour no matter what your skill level might be!
With
winning scores of just two under par net for thirty-six hoes, ASGT
players continue to find significant success simply by finishing around
par with their handicap.
Congratulations
to all our Atlanta District players for a successful first two-day
event. We look forward to seeing you all at the next one at Eagle's
Landing on July 7-8!
