The Philadelphia Section PGA’s Pro-Junior was played Aug. 10
at Concord Country Club, but I didn’t want to let it pass by in the midst of
all the golf this week.
Wilmington Country Club pro Bob Lennon and his junior
partner Ty Brinker captured the Pro-Junior title with a net total of
10-under-par 61. They needed to be that good because the runnerup team of
Merion Golf Club head of instruction Mark Sheftic and Strath Haven sophomore
Kevin Smith had a pretty good round themselves and finished just a shot behind
the winners with a 9-under 62.
Stu Ingraham, the head of instruction at the M Golf Range in
Newtown Square and Ryan McCabe finished third at 8-under 63. Ingraham will
defend his title in the Philadelphia Senior PGA Championship next week at
Radnor Valley Country Club.
The Stonewall team of head pro Ryan Langergren and Jack
Murray, who plays at The Hill School and occasionally grabs a loop at the Wall,
headed a group of four teams tied for fourth at 7-under 64.
Joining the Stonewall duo at 7-under were Hugh Mathis of
Tavistock Country Club and Mary McGuiness, Jeff Haas of Golf Cart Services,
Inc. and Savanna Haas and Mike Paukovitrs of St. Davids Golf Club and Conor
Rinehart, a member of the Radnor’s Central League championship team as a senior
last fall.
Three more teams finished tied for ninth at 5-under 66,
including Joey Pohle of Blue Bell Country Club and Anthony Barr, Chip Richter
of Carlisle Country Club and Paige Richter, and Charlie Luis of GolfTEC King of
Prussia and Jacob Sokalsky, another Central League player coming off a strong
freshman season, in Sokalsky’s case at Garnet Valley.
Robert Kleckner of Linfield National Golf Club and Joshua
Ryan, who will be a welcome addition at Norristown this season after a strong
summer of junior golf, headed a group of six teams tied for 12th at
4-under 67.
Also in the group tied at 4-under were: Michael Caldwell of
Bidermann Golf Club and Henry Stone; Dan Allan of Burlington Country Club and
Andrew Parris; Terry Hertzog, the head pro at The Country Club of York and
Justin Hertzog; Bill Sautter of Philadelphia Cricket Club and Jimmy Sautter;
and Mike Ladden of Whitford Country Club and Jake Ladden. I’m guessing there
were a couple of father-son combos in that group.
