Gulph Mills Golf Club assistant pro Josh Rackley has been
one of the hottest players on the Philadelphia Section PGA circuit and he kept
it up Monday by firing a 5-under 66 at Laurel Creek Country Club to win the
TaylorMade Top 100.
The event brought together the top 100 players in the
section and Rackley certainly qualifies, having won the $100,000 jackpot by
taking the Haverford Trust Classic and sharing low Philly PGA honors with
Merion Golf Club assistant pro Robby Bruns at the PGA Professional National
Championship at Philadelphia Cricket Club.
Rackley edge Dave Quinn of Links Golf Club by a shot. Quinn
has a solid track record at Laurel Creek and it showed with his 4-under 67.
Among four players tied for third at 3-under 68 were Merion
Golf Club head of instruction Mark Sheftic and Billy Stewart, an assistant pro at
the ACE Club who developed his game growing up at Llanerch Country Club.
Among some of the other top finishers were: Aronimink Golf
Club assistant pro Carson Solien (70, tied for 10th); M Golf Range
instructor Stu Ingraham (71, tied for 21st); Aronimink head of
instruction John Bierkan (72, tied for 32nd); Aronimink assistant
pro Sam Ambrose (72, tied for 32nd); Concord Country Club head pro
Mike Moses (73, tied for 39th); Radnor Valley Country Club head pro
George Forster (74, tied for 43rd); Overbrook assistant pro Matthew
Romond (74, tied for 43rd); and The Springhaven Club pro Gregg Gipp
(75, tied for 51st).
Aronimink’s Max
Siegfried has been a fixture on Golf Association of Philadelphia junior
leaderboards all summer. Look for a roundup of his recent successes and near
misses as well as a report on reigning Daily Times Player of the Year, Radnor
senior Brynn Walker, earning a trip to the PGA Junior Championship in Miramont,
Texas in a qualifier this week at Applecross Country Club in Tom McNichol’s
Golf Notebook in the Daily Times Saturday print edition.
