COMPETITION CREATES WAVES AT BEVERLY GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

COPETOWN (July 27, 2017) - The week, The Tour competitors were participating in the Bright Blue Wave Challenge, hosted at Beverly Golf & Country Club, where Mother Nature was, once again, throwing a bit of everything into the mix, forcing the field to adjust at any given moment.

The Robbie Robinson designed course has been improved continually over the past six decades. Notably, in 1999, the classic course design was updated by Doug Carrick, one of Canada’s most noted golf course architects and a former apprentice of Robbie Robinson.

The course provided Tour players with an outstanding and time-honoured golf experience. With its naturally rolling terrain, impeccably groomed fairways, well-placed bunkers and superb greens, everything was in excellent condition. Beverly is truly one place you would never tire of playing. Today’s winners would be those who could stay focused on their golf game and off the beautiful surroundings.

As the early morning breaks, players would be chomping at the bit to get the day rolling, and that they did! As the Champ Flight scores would roll in, it had been determined this was going to be a battle as three players were deadlocked at the top with 76. It would take a two hole playoff to decide the winner. All three players parred the first hole and eventual winner Graham McCulloch birdied the second playoff hole to claim first prize, Mike Kavander would slide into second position and Eric Velanoff would settle for the third.

A Flight was dominated by Tyler Fyall posting a career round of 71 to be centre stage. Tour regular Joshua Kingsmill would record a steady round of 77 for second and Danny MacDonald would land two back with 79 for third.

B Flight would see Tour veteran Toro Tagawa post a wonderful score of 78 for a big check mark in the win column. Mark Matusiak was next best with 84 and Jeff Anthofer would claim third with a score of 85.

After all was said and done, there was a two-person tie in the C Flight. Both Rick Jones and Jason Welsh finished wtih matching 86's. Rick won the playoff on the first hole and Jason would have to settle for second place. Robert Perri snagged third place by shooting an 86.

Seniors' Flight would see Des Brady at the top this week, recording a smooth score of 77. Kim Stankiceicz would fall short by only a couple for second place. The Seniors' Net would see a tie this week, with card matching putting Jack Radford in first and Fred Cousineau in second, both carding Net 69.

Margaret Crawley would once again take home the hardware, recording a score of Net 70 for the win.
