chapter news southeast chapter southern chapter With the same score on the same golf course, Ed Sabo of Tequesta has won the Titleist Vero Beach Shootout for the second year in a row. Sabo earned 44 Stableford points Tuesday (June 1) at Hawk's Nest Golf Club, edging Alan Morin of Royal Palm Beach and Jerry Tucker of Stuart, who tied for second with 43 points. A year ago, Sabo beat Morin with par-4 on the first playoff hole. "But don't ask me to compare the two," Sabo, 61, said with a grin. "I may not remember much about this round by the time I get home today." Let the record show he shot two under par 70 on his own ball with six birdies, four on the back nine after beginning in the 12th hole in a shotgun start. All four of his bogeys were on the front side. It was Sabo's 10th Southeast Chapter victory since 1988, his second this year. He won the Jupiter Classic at The Dye Preserve on May 10. He earned $1,123 from the $11,310 purse here, including an optional bonus pool, shootout and skins game. Traditionally, a shootout among the top eight finishers follows the 18-hole main event. Tuesday, play was suspended by lightning after the first round and the $400 purse was distributed among the participants. Less than 20 minutes later the all-clear horn was sounded but by then nearly everyone had left. "That's too bad," Sabo said as he packed up. "The shootout last year was a lot of fun." Stableford points were awarded the 74 starters on the basis of one for bogey, two for par, four for birdie and six for eagle. There were no skins and the money in that pool was redistributed in the general prize fund. The Southern Chapter tournament schedule is in full swing. Thank you very much to Dave Carse and Mark Vandyck ffor all their efforts this season. On June 4, 2010 we held a pro only stroke play tournament at Grande Oaks Golf Club, home of Caddyshack. Thanks to Scott Rolan and his staff for a fun day and congratulations to Jared Isaacs, 2009 Chapter Champion, for taking top honors with a fine 66. John Gerber was runner up with an excellent 69 followed by Jay Zina with a 2 under par 70. We are looking better for next years Nelson Cup. On Monday, June 28, 2010 we had a pro stableford tournament and seminar at the Jim Mclain Signature Course at Doral. Larry Blanchard took top honors with 40 points followed by Lou Bartoleti with 39 points and Chris Toulson with 36 points. The Seminar was outstanding with 2 outstanding speakers in John Webster from the John Webster Golf Academy at the Breakers in Palm Beach who introduced us to his "Total Package Golf" concept. The next speaker was our own Dan McCarthy, Director of Instruction at Grande Oaks Golf Club, explaining what science is now telling us about how the golf ball "really" flies. It was amazing how these 2 gentlemen complimented each other in their teaching philosophies. Our next event is the Junior Senior Tournament on July 16 at Fort Lauderdale Country Club. Please make every effort to attend since this event always has a surprise ending with our great hosts, Mike O'Brien and Mark Vandyck and their staff. Thanks for reading. Dick McNeill 14
