Thanks to all the players that made it out to Towne Lake Hills and made it another fantastic event for APT! Towne Lake Hills was most accommodating with their top notch staff and amenities, and the course was in fantastic shape! Even in the heat of the summer, the bent grass greens were rolling a little slow but still smooth, the rough was thick and the fairways were plush! Congrats to our winners!
Division 1
It was home sweet home for our D1 winner, Derek Foulke. Derek is a member at Bridgemill, which allows him to play at both Bridgemill and Towne Lake Hills. Derek had a few hiccups along the way, but was able to keep his steady round going for a winning score of 78! Congrats Derek! And even though his round wasn't what he wanted it to be, David Douglas (Atlanta) still had a great time on the course. Maybe he had a little hangover from his hole in one earlier this week!? Congrats David!
Division 2
It was a tight finish for all of our D2 players, and came down to the 18th hole to determine a winner! Congrats to Sean Pierce (Atlanta) for claiming his 1st APT victory over Stew Kremer (Augusta) by 1 shot! Congrats to Stew Kremer (Augusta) for coming so close to winning his 2nd APT Atlanta tournament (won at Bear's Best). Stew had the win in the bag but unfortunately 3 putted the 18th hole and lost by 1 shot. And congrats to James Davis (Atlanta) and AJ Ayala (Atlanta) for coming in a 3rd place tie. Only 2 shots separated 1st from 4th!
Division 3
Congrats to our APT Atlanta Guest, Daniel Hunt (Atlanta) on winning his 1st APT Tournament! Daniel had a great round of golf today, shooting a 84 and winning by 2 shots! Even though Daniel is new to APT, he's not unfamiliar with tournament golf and really enjoys Towne Lake, so he wanted to give it a try! Congrats on your first win Daniel! This was Brett Fuller's (Atlanta) 2nd tournament and he came so close to getting a victory but came up a little short this weekend. Don't worry Brett, I can see a win coming in your near future, just keep up the good play! And congrats to our APT Tour Guest Kyle Swafford (Atlanta) for coming in 3rd place in his 1st APT Tournament! Like Daniel, Kyle is not new to tournament golf and wanted to give APT a try! Congrats Kyle and looking forward to seeing you again at many more of our tournaments!
Division 4
Congrats to our D4 winner Phillip Grant (Atlanta)! Phillip was able to make 2 birdies on the front side and was able to hang onto the victory by shots! Congrats Phillip on your win, and please let me know how many Jelly Beans you can fit in that huge trophy! I also want to congratulate APT Tour Guest William Matos (Atlanta) for coming out to our tournament and coming so close to the win! Mr. Matos did say that he has not had that much fun on the golf course in a while and looks forward to coming back for more! And congrats to Demetrius Minor (Atlanta) for coming in 3rd place on Saturday. He may not have had his best stuff but was still in the tournament for a long time and only finished 3 shots back!
Division 5
Congrats to Tony Stinner (Atlanta) for winning his 2nd tournament in a row! Tony had his hands full all day and was even willing to help clear the course during his round! Congrats on the win by 2 shots Tony! Also congrats to Doug Gibbs (Atlanta) for coming in 2nd place, only 2 shots behind Tony. Doug had a few big numbers on the front nine and could not recover from it. But keep your head in the game Doug, I see a win coming for you in the near future! And congrats to Thomas Slater (Atlanta) for coming in 3rd place. Thomas has only played in 2 tournaments but has a win and a 3rd place finish! Congrats Thomas and can't wait to see you at more tournaments!
We cannot thank our players enough for all their encouragement and appreciation for the tournaments. All the players had nothing but great things to say about the course and how the course was set up. We hope to see everyone out to our makeup tournament at Cobblestone GC in Acworth, GA on September 4th!
