Silver Lakes Golf Tournament Results

The Amateur Players Tour – Birmingham Chapter was treated to fantastic course conditions at Robert Trent Jones Silver Lakes (Mindbreaker-Heartbreaker) in Gadsden, AL. Twenty-two players teed it up for a share of nearly $1200 in total prizes. The Birmingham Chapter would like to thank Jason Callan and the entire Silver Lakes staff for hosting us.  

Division 1 was captured by Daniel Love who shot a 1 over 73 on a difficult course from 6,754 yards.  With a late withdraw from another D1 player Daniel Love competed for a specific D1 prize provided he could beat all the D2 players playing from a tee box forward.  His nearest threat was 4 shots back. This is the second victory of the season for Daniel was awarded a $120 Visa Gift Card and victory flag.  

Division 2 was a one-horse race for most of the day. Jeremy Key from our visiting Augusta Chapter managed to card a 77 with three birdies on the day to secure the win.  David Brady was 4-strokes back shooting an 81. Jeremy was awarded the victory flag and a Visa Gift Card worth $150.  

Division 3 was won by your Chapter Owner Russ Donaldson with a score of 84. A late charge from Jason Browning to go birdie birdie on his last two holes was an exciting finish to capture second place a head of Christian Cox.  Russ secured the victory flag and $150.  

Division 4 was a close back and forth all day between Benny Shepard and Dennis Antkowiak.  Benny finished with a par on the 18th hole to shoot 92.  This was one stroke better than Dennis to give Benny the win. Benny earned the victory flag and a $180 Visa Gift Card.
