Scott R Chilcutt, Burleson, TX (July 2, 2016) The Dallas Tour, headed back to Burleson, TX, for the second time in as many years over the 4th of July Weekend.
Southern Oaks Golf Club, busy since our last installment rebuilding bunkers, adding an event center, with many improvements to come. Very nice course conditions getting into the summer heat, were however, overshadowed by a couple of pin placements that were just down right evil. While many players, came off those holes, proclaiming illegal hole positions, there really are no rules, regarding hole positions, but clearly the 16th and 18th holes, did not meet #3 under the FAQ's for Rule 16.
While the selection of hole positions had the Tournament Committee and superintendent involvement, the staff pacing off those positions to actually cut the holes, missed the mark, making them very difficult for the entire field.
Jamie Sanson picked up the Tournament Champion, presented by Carlisle's Engraving with a net -9. The winner of the Feherty's Troops First Foundation 50/50 raffle, took home $350, bringing the year to date total from the Texas Tour local events to $9,380 contributed to the Foundation.
RESULTS:
Championship Flight: Trophy Club, TX, player Nick Quast put a string of 6 birdies together from #4 - #14 to finish the day at -3 for his fourth Championship on the season in six attempts. Four strokes back, Ryan Timmons of Fort Worth, TX, grabbed his second runner up in as many tries on the season with the pair of Ovilla, TX, player Brad Bugg and David Wright of Flower Mound, TX, sharing the show place finish.
Palmer Flight: Josh Greenawalt, starting the day on the par 4 - 10th, tied for the lead making the turn, got into trouble midway through his final nine, but rebounded with two pars to finish the round with a one stroke advantage, for his first win on tour. Traveling Florida member, Wendall Sheffield, of Crystal River, FL, used four birdies on his back nine, to draw a share of the second place finish with Tim Bush of Granbury, TX,
Hogan Flight: Lewisville, TX, player Caleb Brown made birdie on his final hole of the day, Mel Goss of Terrell, TX, carded one of his own on his 17th hole, setting up a three way playoff with Jeff Workman of Fort Worth. With the Tournament Index handicap revision taking place just hours before the event, it was anticipated that Workman would be promoted from the Sarazen Flight. Back to the par 5 - 1st, Goss went out on the first hole, and Brown would falter on the second, to hand off the flight Champion to Workman, his fifth win on the season.
Senior Hogan Flight: In his first local event on tour, after starting the year with a couple of Majors under his belt, Ken Johnson of Carrollton, TX, picked up his first win, by two strokes with the help of three birdies on the round.

Sarazen Flight: Sven Bock of Richardson, TX, and Fort Worth, TX, resident Wadsworth Jarrell, came to the scoring area, knotted in the top spot. Back to the course, for the sudden death playoff, Bock would prevail for his third win on the points season, but first since February. Mark Tylenda, of Dallas, TX, rounded out the top three, just one stroke back.
Senior Sarazen Flight: Breaking his record for best finish on tour, Jamie Sanson, picked up his second win on the season and fourteenth on tour, with a +2 - 74, lapping the field.
