Fernandina Beach Men's Golf Association

FBMGA Members:

We had a very successful tournament yesterday. We postponed the tournament from 9:00 AM start to 12:00 PM for warmer weather. This Tournament Director was right on that call, but how was he to know the westerly winds would get up to 20-30mph in the afternoon. This definitely favored a player that can hit a low, penetrating drive (think Kent Johnson).

We had a Championship Flight and a First Flight with six teams in each flight. Here are the results:

Championship Flight                                             Gross    Net

#1    John Lafear/Kent Johnson                             76        70.45    Won $120 per player

#2    Robert Johnson/Ama Corbett                       80        71.40    Won $80  per player

#3    Roger Oliver/Jim Rauschenberger            79        77.45    Won $40  per player

#4    Charlie Kicklighter/Barry Innes                    85        78.00

#5    Bill Sonntag/Benny Fallon                             89        82.05

#6    Fenton Markevich/Allen Sage                     96          88.80

First Flight

#1    Lee Murray/Bill Anderson                                90        76.40    Won $120 per player

#2    Don Seban/John Rudd                                     92        77.25    Won $80 per player

#3    Simon Carter/Jim Hurley                                  88        77.45    Won $40 per player

#4    Doug Wolfe/Dan Rainwater                            92        78.80

#5    Dan Christiansen/Richard Dixon                 89        79.00
