Plantation Bay members sweep field at DAV Inaugural Golf Classic
It was quite a day for Plantation Bay members at the DAV Inaugural Golf Classic held Oct. 5, at the Plantation Bay Club de Bonmont north and south courses.
The team of Ed Todd, Steve Michaels, Mike Walters and Jack Becker scorched the course and the rest of the field with a blistering score of 12-under par 60.
Becker also won the closest-to-the-pin contest, and fellow member Joe Orr won the putting contest and a brand new Titleist putter. Toni Blount prevented the total sweep, winning the long drive contest and a new Titleist driver.
“The weather was great, the course was in super shape, the golf was fantastic, and the food was superbly delicious,” said Gerald Fauntleroy, DAV marketing director.
The second-annual Palm Coast Ford/DAV Golf Classic is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 4, 2014.
