2025 SWF Herons Glen Golf Club Tournament Results

Amateur Players Tour of Florida – Southwest Tournament Recap 

Herons Glen – May 3, 2025 

On May 3, 44 players enjoyed the pristine conditions of the Herons Glen Golf Club.  This course is not a long one, but there is a requirement to be straight off the tee or encounter one of the many water hazards found on the property!  Despite the abundance of water, we had several people solve the Herons Glen puzzle quite well!  Highlights of the day included: 

• Division 1: In the top division, Ryan Silvestri jumped out to a 2-shot lead with a -2 on the front 9.  Right on his heals was Robert Greene and Herons Glen own, Levi Long who both turned at even par.  And lurking just behind at +2 on the front, there were newcomer, Josh Farmer, and tour veteran George Dundon.  Nick Sandoval turned in an even par back 9, but it was not enough to catch Silvestri, who fired a +1 on the back for a -1 total and the win.  Coming in a tie for second were Josh Farmer and Robert Green who both finished at +3.   

• Division 2: D2 had some very strong performances from Greg Deptula (-1 35), Danny Magruder (+1 37), and Adam Payne (+1 37).   After the front 9, it was a 3-person race.  On the back, Magruder fired a sizzling -1 35 on the back to finish the day at even par and the win.  In second, another newcomer, Greg Deptula fell back a bit with a +5 41 on the back and finished 1 ahead of Adam Payne.   

• Division 3: This one went back and forth all day!  On the front 9, Alvin Haggins and Stephen Leadbetter both carded +3 39 with Jeff Rainford one back at 40.  Rainford and Leadbetter went back and forth on the back 9 with each holding the lead several times.  In the end, Rainford prevailed by one for the win with Leadbetter taking solo second.   

• Division 4:   Division 4 was very close after the front 9 with John Oursler leading the way with a 43, but close behind were John Moore at 44 and Gregg Carr at 45.  Moore would get hot on the back and fire a sizzling 40 to take the lead and his first APT win!  Carr would prove to be very consistent on the back and would take second from Oursler.   

• Division 5: In our last division, 4 of the 5 competitors   were within 4 shots of the lead at the turn!  Mike Abbot led the way with Lee Thompson, Jeromy Sigler, and Dave Densieski right behind him.  The back proved to be tough on this group as none of the leaders improved their scores from the front 9.  In the end, Mike Abbott won by 2 over Lee Thompson (Atlanta chapter).   

• Senior Net: 16 out of the 19 eligible players participated in the Senior Net game and the results were very tight for the top 3 places!  We had 5 players at +1 or better.  Winning with a very strong -2 was John Moore, followed by Danny Magruder at -1, and taking the third paying spot was Mike Abbott at even par!   

A huge thank you goes out to Bruce Harris and the entire staff at Herons Glen for having the course in such EXCELLENT shape for our event!  Everyone was friendly and very helpful!   

Our next event is at Verandah Golf Club in Fort Myers, on Friday, May 9.  Remember, the more players we get, the bigger the payouts!
