New
Mexico Fall Classic
Albuquerque,
NM—The
GOLF CHANNEL Amateur Tour of New Mexico began its 2014 season with
the New Mexico Fall Classic at the UNM Championship Golf Course on
Saturday, October 12. It was a beautiful fall day in New Mexico,
bright sunny skies, cool temps, and very little wind. The UNM
Championship Golf Course lived up to its reputation as one of the
toughest courses in New Mexico. The rough was thick and long and the
greens were very slick, running between 11 and 12 on the Stimpmeter.
In
the Championship/Sr Championship Flight, Alan Turney of Albuquerque
and Mark Garard of Farmington, both shot 76, excellent scores on the
tough course. The sudden death playoff went 6 holes. Both players
bogeyed #10, parred #11, 12, and 13, and birdied #14. Then Alan
parred #15 and took the title when Mark failed to get up and down.
Alan
Truelock of Albuquerque continues to play well and won the Hogan/Sr
Hogan Flight with an 87. First year player Aubrey Johnson of
Albuquerque just missed out on capturing his first title when he took
an 8 on the short par 5 final hole.
In
the Sarazen/Sr Sarazen Flight, Ron May of Albuquerque captured his
first title with a solid 86. Ron birdied the final hole to take a
one shot victory over Joseph Perez of Albuquerque.
In
the Jones/Sr Jones Flight, Douglas Christian of Albuquerque defended
his title. Douglas shot a 91 and took a 6 shot victory over Raymond
Lopez of Rio Rancho NM.
The
NM TOUR will be off for the winter. Tentatively, the tour will
return to action in March.
