With 5 victorys in 5 starts, Tom Pettinella continued his dominance of the Sarazen Flight on the 2012 GCAmTour season and it appears that his steady play seems to be the key to his winning ways. Trailing both Jeff Bossack of Oakville, Ontario and Richard Stein of Cheektowaga, New York by 2 two strokes after nine holes in the Battle of Mill Creek, held at the Mill Creek Golf Course in Churchville, NY, Pettinella avoided any large numbers and waited for the competition falter, the end result was a one stroke victory and to date an undefeated season.
A bad back that prompted a two month layoff from the game and a long 5 hour drive wasn't enough to prevent the 2010 Senior Hogan National Champion, Don Miller of North Bay, Ontario from blistering the Mill Creek layout with a 77 and earn him the crown in the Hogan Flight. Alex Kurilovitch of Oswego, New York and Robert Davis of Nunda, New York finished second and third respectably.
After 3 second place finishes on the season, Michael Pogor of Burlington, Ontario finally claimed victory by carding his best round on the 2012 GCAmTour season and tying the lowest score of the day with a 77. What makes his feat notable however is that he recognized that he had a crack in the crown of his driver on the second hole of play. Undaunted his solid and consistant play earned him his first victory of the year in the Championship Flight.
When he puts his mind to it, Steve Wedekind of Newfane, New York can play some pretty good golf and he proved it again yesterday with his third triumph of the year in the Palmer Flight. The victory also earned him a spot in the 2012 GCAmTour National Championships this fall. Brian Davis of Amherst finished 2 shots back in second and Christopher Dolce earned the third spot.
A winding 20 foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole led Macedon, New York resident Jack Potter to his first win of the year in the Jones/Snead Flight. For fellow competitor Bob Zehler of Williamson, it was his second consecutive playoff defeat.
