The 12th Senior/Mid-Amateur Four-Ball Championship has concluded after an outstanding couple of days at Victoria Hills Golf Club in Deland, FL. Each team was required to have a mid-amateur (25-54) and a senior (55+) and the competition was conducted over 36 holes of four-ball stroke play.
The team of Kelly Gosse and Pete Williams, from Ocala and Juno Beach respectively, held the overnight lead after a stellar 65 on day one. The two blitzed the course with 7 birdies on the day and no blemishes. They would not rest on their laurels as they came out and birdied the first hole on Sunday en route to an opening nine-33. Determined not to be overtaken, Gosse and Williams carded 5 straight birdies, starting on number 11, to close the tournament with a 30 for a 65-63-128.
The duo of Jimmy Jones and Gordon Marshall started Sunday four back, but fired a pair of 31’s to finish in solo second at 13 under. Behind Jones and Marshall was the team of Tim Hume and Brian Brown, who went 67-66-133.
The highlight of the tournament, however, came on the 205 yard par-3 third hole when Jason Bell made an ace!
Congratulations to Gosse and Williams and thank you to Victoria Hills Golf Club for providing a great facility for the first Men’s Championship of the year.
