REGION EVENT NEWS

Central – In a putting performance that will live in USGTF lore for eternity, Central Region director Tony McMullin holed par putts of 20, 15, 10 and 10 feet on four of the last five holes to capture the Central Region Championship held July 13-14 at Walden Ponds Golf Course just outside Cincinnati, Ohio. McMullin fired rounds of 75-71 – 146 to nip Southeast Region director Mark Harman by a shot. You may recall in February Harman won the Southeast Region tournament he hosted by three strokes over McMullin, and McMullin has now returned the favor. Multiple region winner Ron Cox and Jamie Wardinski tied for third.

Southwest – The USGTF Southwest Region Championship will be held Saturday and Sunday, September 26-27, at Twin Creeks Golf Club in Allen, Texas, just north of Dallas. The entry fee is $300 and includes two rounds of tournament golf, range balls and a prize fund. Southwest Region director Bruce Sims serves as the host, and he can be contacted at bsims@pga.com or (214) 475-5168.
