2025 Bobby Jones Golf Club Tournament Results

Amateur Players Tour of Florida – Southwest Tournament Recap 

Bobby Jones Golf Club – November 2, 2024 

What a fantastic day at Bobby Jones Golf Club! The warm sunshine and challenging winds created the perfect backdrop for an exciting fall finale. It’s great to see so many new faces joining the fun. Here’s a quick recap of the highlights: 

• Division 1:  On the front nine, Preston Bridges turned in an impressive even par 36, but he was closely followed by Michael Smith at +1 and Dan Madsen and Chase Bertrand at +4.  Smith finished strong with a 3 over 38 on the back, but it was not enough, as Bridges went low with -2 on the back and a 69 for the day to win by 6.  A very impressive round given the windy conditions.   

• Division 2: In Division 2, Frank Gomes jumped to a 2-stroke lead over Daren Green with a strong +1 (37) on the front nine.  Gomes finished with a +4 back nine, but Green could not gain any ground and Gomes, the newcomer, won in his first event!   

• Division 3: Division 3 saw Jeff Rainford turn in a +3 (39) on the front for a 1-shot lead over Brett Enos.  On the back nine, Chris Scott carded a +3 (38) on the back to jump up the leaderboard.  He came up 1 short of Rainford who finished with a +5 (40) on the back for a +8 (79) and the 1-shot victory!   

• Division 4:   This one seemed like a two-horse race with Andy Halek and Gregg Carr turning in +7 (43) on the front nine and a 3-shot lead on John Oursler.  After sinking a 25-footer for birdie on the par 3 13^th hole, Oursler would finish the last 6 holes in even par shooting an impressive +5 (40) on the back.  Halek and Carr both had chances to tie, but ultimately, they came up one-shot short of our winner, John Oursler!     

• Division 5: This one was the most exciting finish of the day!  After the front 9, Jeremy Walker led all players with +9 (45), but had Angela Walker (his wife), Jackie Rush, and Andrew Lampert all within 2 strokes of him!  Jeremy would not have a good back nine opening the door for Jackie Rush and his wife Angela!  Rush was the first in the clubhouse with a back nine 44 for a total of 91.  Angela Walker came to the 18^th hole needing a par to force a playoff with Rush.  Instead of the par, she did one better and sank a putt from the fringe for a birdie and the win!  What a finish!   

• Senior Net: 14 out of the 16 eligible players participated in the Senior Net game, and there were plenty of strong scores here with 8 players at par or better!  Michael Smith led with a -4 (32) on the front with Jeff Rainford and Andy Halek just 2 shots back.  Jackie Rush and John Oursler both turned in -3 (32) on the back, but Smith carded a -2 (33) on the back for a 2-shot victory over Rush who took second.  Tied in third were Andy Halek and Jeff Rainford.   

A big shoutout to John Ellis and the staff for maintaining such playable conditions post-hurricane!
