The annual tournament draws players from all over the region to play in the flighted amateur event. Players are grouped according to score after the first round at Taylor Meadows, and then play against only the groups that shot similar scores on the second day at Lakes of Taylor.The first round of the tournament began with two hours of steady rain. The players toughed it out and played well in the wet conditions, with most players saying after their round that they played better while it was raining. The scores posted seemed comparable to last years tournament with players who shot 79 missing the cut for the championship flight for the second straight tournament.The final round of the tournament started with more favorable conditions, just as the final groups were teeing off the wind began to pick up. Only a hand full of players were able persevere and score well. Liz Houston was the leader of the Ladies Flight after the first round by two strokes after shooting an 83 at Meadows. Close behind were Myra Janabet with an 85 and Verna Jasienecki who shot 90. Liz was able to extend her lead by shooting 85 at Lakes to win by 8 shots over Myra.The Senior Flights were both closely contested in the First Flight Bernard Tockstein(87), Jacques Belanger(89), and John Byrd(89) lead the pack. Bernard and John continued their good play at Lakes both shooting sub 90. Bernard was able to remain in first shooting an 88 and John was the runner-up after posting 89 at Lakes. The Senior Championship Flight came down to the same two competitors for the second straight year, Daniel Gregg and Ed Meredith. Meredith held the lead after the first day by shooting 79 at Meadows, Roger Bechtol and Steve Weshalek were tied for second after shooting 80, Gregg(81) was in fourth. Gregg was able to come back on day two by shooting the lowest score of the second day (76) but Meredith(78) shot low enough to force a playoff. The playoff was on the par 5 ninth hole, both participants were on the green in regulation. Ed Meredith won the playoff by making a 25 – 30 foot birdie putt, putting the pressure on Daniel Gregg to make his birdie putt. Ed Meredith held off the competition to repeat as Senior Champion.The Men’s Fourth Flight winner Stephen Moore and Runner-Up Duane Lavender were both able to improve their scores on the second day to finish on top of the flight. Lavender was tied for fourth one shot back after the first round with Steven Moore tied for  the lead. Both players shot eight strokes better at Lakes to finish the Tournament.Mens Third Flight had 18 players separated by just three strokes after day one. Greg Losacco and Antonio Vitale lead the flight with 88 at Taylor Meadows. Tom Veresh(90-84) came from two back to win the Flight, finishing three ahead of Ron Sawmiller(89-88). Jeff Speer (shown left) finished middle of the pack but stole the show with a Hole-in-One on the third hole at Lakes. Men’s Second Flight was just a tight as the Thrid Flight after day one 18 players separated by just 4 shots. Jim Garofalo, Ronnie Pollack, and Dennis Schultz were tied for the lead by shooting 83. Earl Fields (86-76) won the Flight by coming back from three strokes down after round one, and finished one stroke ahead on Ronnie Pollack(83-90). Earl tied the lowest round on day two.Men’s First Flight (79’s through 82’s) teed off the back nine for the second round. Jerry Majetic shot a 78 on the second day to take the win away from the first day leaders (John Blazo, Matt Courtright, John Janabet, & Rick Morford). Andrew Rousos(82-77) was able to make up the three strokes he was behind the leaders to take second place in the flight.The Championship Flight had some familiar names near the top but two players new to the flight were in first and second. Frank Migliaccio(71) lead with Jeff Shade and defending champion one stroke back. The Championship Flight had to deal with the wind for their entire round, Jeff Shade was the only player in the Championship flight able to win fight against the wind and 6900 yards.
