PLAYERS SET GOALS AND STAY ON TRACK AT THE PLAN TO WIN OPEN

BARRIE, ON (June 5, 2017) - Barrie Country Club was this week’s host of The Plan to Win Open, sponsored by Andrew Mitchell of Investors Group. Barrie CC has long been a very popular stop on The GTA AM Tour. The course is a fair and excellent test of golf, is the oldest and most established private golf club in the Barrie area and is always in excellent condition.

For the first time ever, we had an event Sponsor hand write a personalized thank you note to each of the 143 players in attendance. Class act Andrew Mitchell..!

Champ Flight would see a familiar face on top this week with Ryan Taylor shooting level 72 for the win. Morgan Rubes was nipping at his heels, shooting a superb 73 and Michael Corvese, who just moved from A Flight to Champ. Flight, finished up with 76, and a third place finish.

Andrew Susands of A Flight would enjoy his first victory today, posting a smooth as jazz 77, followed by Blake Waters with 79. Two back was Errol Lake, who took third place with an 80.

B Flight would have two players tied with 82 for top spot. Derek Peters and Bob Chapman. A playoff would be required to see who would be crowned champion for the day. After playing the par 4 first hole twice, Derek would come out on top. Bob finished in second place and Tour regular Fred Snel finished with 83 for third.

In C Flight, John Baty and Raymond Wong once again finished the round with identical scores of 84. In their second playoff of this young 2017 Tour season, John Baty would yet again be victorious, Raymond would place second and George Vasic landed third shooting 87.

Seniors' Flight would see John Stanford post his first victory of the year, carding a neat and tidy gross score of 80, followed closely by Reed Ellis with an 81. Net winner Tom Lumsden shot a net 68 and second place went to Malcolm Pender with net 69.

Helen Gauthier was crowned queen, winning the Women's Flight with a score of Net 79.
