MEGA Tournament

THANKS TO SABAL SPRINGS’ MICHAEL SCOTT (LEFT) AND DUANNY ESPINOSA AND THE REST OF THE TEAM FOR PREPARING THE COURSE FOR ULTIMATE PLAY.

The Sabal Springs’ home team did very well in the Men’s Executive Golf Association (MEGA) Tournament held this year at Sabal Springs on Thursday, June 8. Unfortunately, all of our eligible A Flight Players were unable to participate. This created a gift to the other clubs—one-third of the tournament prize fund. However, the 14 Sabal Springs Players in the B and C Flight claimed enough of the remaining prizes to make Sabal Springs the overall winner among the six clubs and 54 players participating.

The winning players from Sabal Springs were:

John Baas: B Flight, Closest-to-Pin and tie for second Low Net

Norb Brand: C Flight, third Low Net

Terry Brown: C Flight, tie for fifth Low Net

Roger Frantz: B Flight, tie for fifth Low Net

Bill Laporte: C Flight, second Low Net and a Skin

Bruce Mack: B Flight, Skin

Doug Mazurek: B Flight, Skin

Bill McKesson: B Flight, fourth Low Net and two Skins

Wayne Piper: B Flight, Low Gross and Low Net and a Skin

George Raley: C Flight, Tie for fifth Low Net and a Skin

Dieter Winterle: C Flight, Tie for fifth Low Net

An exceptional showing by our players.

This tournament, which is a great showcase for the Sabal Springs Golf Course, was made possible through the perseverance and dedication of 16 volunteers, including six players who pulled it all together.

Our Director of Golf Michael Stewart, his new Superintendent Duanny Espinosa, and the golf course staff had double cut, rolled, and dyed our greens; raked fresh sand into our bunkers; applied fresh paint to our drop areas; cleaned the waste receptacles on the course; and removed all tree debris. Our course was in excellent condition for this tournament, in spite of the drought.

This extra effort was impressive … it was a great showcase for our Sabal Springs course.
