2023 Currahee Golf Tournament Results


Eighty-Eight Players Take on the Currahee Challenge! 
The Upstate SC Chapter of the Amateur Players Tour held its fourth tournament off the 2023 season at Currahee Golf Club in Tocoa, GA. The course received 2’ of rain on Thursday night and the frost delay did not keep the sold-out field from experiencing a great golf course.  
In Division 1, Tony Wise (Georgetown, KY) held off a field of 18 players and fired a +3 (75) to win the Championship. Three players, Jacob Sigmon (Shelby, NC), Joey Clary (Greenville, SC) and Charles Hartley (Lizella, GA) all finished tied for second place with 74’s. 
Congrats Tony! 
In Division 2, Robert LaCombe (Greer, SC) backed up his win at The Club at Brookstone with his second victory of the young 2023 season. Robert’s score of 78 was good for a one shot victory. Finishing tied for second place was Brandt Howard (Fletcher, NC) and James Davis (Roswell, GA) with solid 77’s. 
Congrats Robert! 
In Division 3, the championship came down to five players battling to the end. Coming out on top was David Moses (Casar, NC) with a strong 83.  Three players, Shawn Poawers (Athens, GA), Michael Lynn (Murfreesboro, TN) and Mary Forrest Graham (Shelby, NC) all finished tied for second place with 86’s.
