The 2023 Charlotte Local Season kicked off in Locust, NC with 57 Players from 5 different Chapters. Players experienced a beautiful fall afternoon with temps rising to the lower 60’s. Red Bridge is a tough task with players needing to control their tee shot to give them the best opportunity to score.
In Division 1 we had 12 players compete on this day. Kyle Moffett (Carolina Triad) was clearly the best on the day shooting a great round of 73 (+1). Second place came down to the final holes with Ben Cox (Charlotte) shooting 76 (+4)
In the Senior Competition, Ben took 1st place.
Congrats Kyle and Ben!!
In Division 2, we had 11 players battle it out. In the end it really came down to 2 players. Jason Breedlove 78 (+6) won a close battle over Judd Dye 79 (+7).
In the Senior Competition, Scott Dixon took 1st place.
Congrats Jason and Scott!!!
In Division 3 we had 19 players battle it out. This was a close throughout the day. In the end it was Joe Cannatti (Charlotte) taking first place with 81 (+9). Andre Banks (Charlotte) was second with a 82 (+10), Third place was Bernie Loehr (Charlotte) with an 83 (+11) and in 4th we had a tie with 3 players shooting 86 (+14).

In Division 4, Reigning Local Player of the Year got off to a great start…sort of. Eric Seibert, after pulling his first tee shot of the season into the woods and taking a triple bogie on the first hole. He slowly recovered and settled into a groove and shot 86 (+14) to claim a 1 shot victory over a pair of players. Lee Touchton and Mike Fitzgerald both shot 87 (+15) to share second place in the open competition.
In the Senior Competition, Lee and Mike shared the 1st place honors.
