I’m a little late with this, but I’ve been sitting on the
results from what was billed as the next-to-last Philadelphia PGA Junior Tour
stop of the year at the historic Seaview Hotel and Golf Club in Galloway
Township, N.J. just outside of Atlantic City when it was still pretty warm a couple
of weeks ago.
I was busy putting together an All-Delco tennis team, but
also had some time off coming and actually snuck in one last round of golf on a
chilly Sunday morning last weekend. I mention it only to plug my go-to place to
play for the golfer with little or no
money, Blackwood Golf Club in Douglassville, just over the Berks County
line above Pottstown. It’s a legit 6,000-plus yard course that was in great
shape last Sunday. It’s eminently walkable. And without a cart to pay for, the greens
fee was 15 bucks. Just sayin.
There wasn’t a huge Delco contingent at Seaview, but Michael
Barkann of Newtown Square finished 10th
in the 13-to-15 division with an 89 over the challenging 6,202-yard, par-71
Seaview layout. Hayden Smith of Havertown, one of the youngest players in the
division, finished five shots back of Barkann in 11th place with a
94.
Brian Isztwan of Huntingdon Valley took top honors in the
division with a sparkling 1-over 72.
Upper Darby junior Michael Wolf finished 12th in
the 16-to-18 division with a 92. Christopher Drysdale of Yorktown Heights, N.J.
matched the 72 put up by Isztwan to finish first in the 16-to-18 age group.
Not sure if the early arrival of winter in these parts
prevented the Junior Tour from getting in one last event, but it sounds like it’s
going to warm up this weekend, so we’ll see. Could be worse. Could be Buffalo.
