Running Deer's Alestock, Walters are up to the Senior 27-Hole Challenge



   The Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Senior 27-Hole Challenge, which was contested Thursday at Brookside Country Club in Pottstown is almost like three separate nine-hole events, each a little more difficult than the last.
   You start with nine holes of better-ball, not too tough for two solid players. Then it’s select drive/alternate shot. A little tougher, because it’s going to come down to one ball eventually. The final nine is the extra mile with each player’s aggregate total added together for one score.
  And it was there, in that final nine, when Thomas Alestock and Robert Walters of Running Deer Golf Club were at their best, pulling away from the competition with a 1-under-par 71 aggregate total on the front nine of the 6,201-yard, par-72 Brookside layout.
   “It’s cool, it’s better than not winning,” the 66-year-old Walters told the GAP website. “These are always fun events. The GAP does a really good job running tournaments. It’s first-class.”
   Alestock and Walters first met as clubmates at DuPont Country Club five years ago. The 58-year-old Alestock is an environmental technician who works for Walters’ son.
   Alestock and Walters posted a solid better-ball total of 1-under 35 and added a 1-over 37 in the select drive/alternate shot second nine, but it was that final-nine of 71 that gave them a 1-under 143 total and separated them from the field.
   Bob Buck of Lehigh Country Club and Bert Kosup of The Ridge at Back Brook, the defending champions, were right with Alestock and Walters with a pair of 36s on the first two nines, but their final-nine 73 left them two shots behind the winners at 145.
   On that final nine, Alestock followed up a double bogey at the third with a birdie at four as he drilled a 7-iron shot to 15 feet and converted the left-to-right breaker.
   Walters finished strong, bombing a 4-wood 205 yards just six feet away in two on the par-5 sixth hole and draining the eagle putt and then knocking a gap wedge 15 feet away on his approach to the par-4 ninth and making the birdie putt.
   Three teams finished tied for third at 147, including the Yardley Country Club pair of Gregory Buliga and Paul Dansbury (35-35-77), the Applebrook Golf Club duo of Gary Daniels and Charles Dowds III (35-35-77) and Gary Smith of Pine Valley Golf Club and Robert Wurtz Jr. of Philadelphia Cricket Club (35-36-76).
   The Philadelphia Publinks Golf Association pair of Robert Amen and Michael Quinn went 35, 38 and 76 to finish alone in sixth at 149.
   The Aronimink Golf Club tandem of Joseph Lewis and Christopher Moresco (35-38-79) finished seventh at 152 and Jim Franzoni and Bill Lydick of Huntsville Golf Club (34-37-82) took eighth, a shot behind Lewis and Moresco at 153.
   In the Super-Senior division, Spring-Ford Country Club’s Steve Tagert thought he was set for the 27-Hole Challenge with partner Don Donatoni, GAP’s reigning four-time Super-Senior Player of the Year. And then Donatoni went and qualified for the U.S. Senior Amateur, which tees off Saturday at The Minikahde Club in Minneapolis, Minn.  At 69, Donatoni is one of the oldest competitors in the field.
   So Tagert reached out to another of Donatoni’s partners in crime, Merion Golf Club’s Carl Everett, who most recently teamed with Donatoni to capture the Super-Senior division in GAP’s Senior Four-Ball Stroke Play earlier this month at Laurel Creek Country Club.
   Tagert and Everett posted solid first two nines of 35 and 35 and finished off the day with a 3-over 75 for a 145 total that gave them a three-shot victory in the Super-Senior division.
   Buck Jones of Philadelpha Publinks and Michael Nilon of Philadelphia Country Club had the best final nine in the division, a 1-over 73, after going 38, 37 in the first two nines to take runnerup honors at 148.
   The Wilmington Country Club pair of Thomas Humphrey and Charles McDowell finished alone in third with nines of 35, 35 and 80 for a 150 total.
   Four teams finished tied for fourth at 153, including the Chester Valley Golf Club pair of Ed Chylinski and Michael Civitello (36-36-81), John Gonsior of Limekiln Golf Club and Eugene Maginnis Jr. of Whitemarsh Valley Country Club (38-38-77), Dave Jacobson of Medford Village Country Club and Jon Mabry of the Moorestown Field Club (37-37-79) and Bob Majczan of Lookaway Golf Club and James Prendergast of Bellewood Country Club (36-36-81).
   The Rolling Green Golf Club duo of Edward Pappas and Robert Zakian finished alone in eighth with nines of 38, 38 and 79 for a 155 total.
