Eight Section Assistants Make Cut at National Car Rental PGA Assistants Championship

The Met PGA was incredibly well represented at the recent National Car Rental PGA Assistants Championship. Eight of our professionals from the 13 player contingent survived the 36-hole cut meaning that more than 10% of the field for the final 2 days was from our Section. Top finishers were Ben Polland of Deepdale (T-12), Frank Bensel of Century (T-17), Nick Beddow of Piping Rock (T-45), John DiPilato of Old Oaks (T-49), Paul Selvaggio of Wyakagyl (T-53), Kyle Baehler of Willow Ridge (T-60), Anthony Casalino of Innis Arden (T-60) and Grant Sturgeon of Winged Foot (70th).

Tournament News & Notes

Congratulations to recent Senior Treiber Memorial Champion, Charlie Bolling. We don’t usually mention specific events and rounds in the Newsletter but his final round 62 (a course record of 8 birdies, an eagle and 2 bogeys on greens that were nasty fast and hard) is worth a special notation. In another area senior competition, the LIGA Senior Open was played at Laurel Links and shortened to 18 holes because of weather. Charlie Stucklen of Sebonack won with a 72 followed by Charlie Bolling (73) and Mike Caporale of North Hills tied for 3rd at 74. Caporale also won the Super Senior Flight, followed by Darrell Kestner with 75 and Tom Joyce with 77. ……… Congratulations to the Assistant-Assistant year-long match play champions Becky McDaid and Brice Busse of Friar’s Head who won a narrow 1-up victory in 19 holes at Shinnecock Hills over Patrick Clark of Wee Burn and Stephen Clark of Sunningdale.……… The Met Section Assistants soundly defeated the New Jersey team in their Challenge Match at Arcola in New Jersey on Oct. 20th.
