Blue Bell Country Club’s Antonio Leta got off to a good
start with a birdie on the first hole and rode the momentum to a victory in the
Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Frank H. Chapman Memorial Cup (Net) Tuesday
at Heidelberg Country Club in Bernville, Berks County.
Leta didn’t think his nine handicap would give him much of a
chance in the event, which utilized the Stableford scoring system. But things
started looking up when he rammed home a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-4 first
hole at the 5,870-yard, par-70 Heidelberg layout.
Leta ended up with a steady round that included a net eagle,
five birdies and seven pars. It all added up to 37 points and a one-point
margin of victory over runnerup Hank Collins of the Philadelphia Publinks Golf
Association.
Timothy Kiorpes of Lookaway Golf Club was alone in third
place with 35 points. Talamore Country Club’s Hal Morris and David Spirt and
Ned Moore of Manufacturers Golf & Country Club finished in a tie for
fourth, each player finishing with 34 points.
Manufacturers’ W. Frank Skilton and Rick Rutter and Edward
Brzezowski of Concord Country Club shared seventh place, each posting 33
points.
Six players – Plymouth Country Club’s Charles Caparo,
Philadelphia Publinks representative William Erskine, Lancaster Country Club’s
Andy McCormick, Llanerch Country Club’s Richard Turner, LuLu Country Club’s Don
Neill and Little Mill Country Club’s Joseph Martin – finished in a tie for 10th
with 32 points apiece.
