Gunter’s Landing Golf Tournament Results

[read_time]

The Amateur Players Tour Birmingham Chapter visited Gunter’s Landing Golf Club in Guntersville, AL on August 1st, 2021. 38 players from five different chapters competed for the right to be crowned champion. Play for the day got started on time, however, a lighting delay of nearly one hour caused issues early in the day. Tournament Directors and the Director of Golf worked together to keep players safe and to get players back on the course in a timely manner. The decision was made to resume play at 10:30, with a reverse shotgun that got tee times back on track. A special thanks to Gunter’s Landing Staff for working diligently to ensure player safety and helping getting players on and off the course.

Division 1 was a close battle for the first nine of play then Dana Amberson cruised to a five-shot victory, after posting an even par round of 72. Dana’s round included four birdies, all on the back nine of play. Bryan Askew finished second with a round of 77. Bret Mayfield took third place with a score of 78.

In Division 2, three players were all within two shots of each other after the first nine holes of play. Kevin Schrum, Jordan Jones (both from Birmingham Chapter), and Russell Cook (Memphis) went to the back nine with a chance to win. With these three paired together for the round all three knew where they stood.  After a double bogey on the par 3 tenth hole, Kevin Schrum birded holes twelve and thirteen to take the lead that he would not give up. Kevin posted a 76 to win by three over Russell Cook and Jordan Jones. 

Division 3 was won by Jason Harbin of the Birmingham Chapter with a score of 76, which was good for a five-shot victory. Jason recorded five birdies on the day, with three of them in his first four holes. Jason contributed is hot start to the pureness of the greens that Gunter’s Landing offered. Tyler Slaten continued his solid season with another second-place finish posting a score of 81.

Division 4 looked tight all day long between two players, Todd Gober and Craig Goddard. These two where neck and neck all day long never being separated by more than a few shots. However, Todd Gober was able to secure his second win of the season with a score of 86 and Craig Goddard finished with an 87. 

Division 5 was a battle all day long with three players staying close to each other all day. Don Hamblett (Birmingham) was the champion at the end of the day with a score of 94. This was Don’s third victory on the season. Joshua Vadney and Joey Makowski took second and third with scores of 96 and 97.

The next event on the Birmingham schedule is a two-day regional major with Nashville and Memphis Chapters at RTJ Shoals on August 14-15, 2021.
