Thanks to everyone who made the 11th Annual Rosedale Amateur Championships a huge success. We had 69 players out there yesterday, which you may have noticed was an exceptionally pleasant autumn day with temps in the 70s, and enough wind that you had to think about it. There's some new talent on the rise in KC, including the intermediate men's champion, 21-year-old Kevin Simpson, who tallied 107 for the 36 holes, including a 49 on the final round, to edge Tony Dutiel and Justin Starks by three. It was his first-ever organized event. Also playing his first tournament was Danny Craig, who is 15-years old and won over Shane Wickliffe by three, carding a 117. The big story in the advanced division was champion's Cecil Cameron's final round of 44, his best tournament round ever. He jumpfrogged over several players as he came from the second group to nab the win by 8 over Chris Timko with a total of 99. In the women's division, Susan Taylor came from behind to edge Lesli Palmer by one throw. And finally, in the battle of the titans in the masters division, Dan-O Craig (Danny's dad) prevailed in a two-hole playoff for the win over Eric Garberg. There were no aces with $48 going to Josh Query who was closest to the pin in the throw-up. The other $48 is part of the $100 donated to the KCFDC from the tournament
Thanks to everyone for the good cheer and cooperative attitudes (it was almost Ice Bowl-like with the absence of whining). In addition, thanks to John Chapman and Dick Parker for the scoring help, Kelly Warren for the sandwich and securing some beer, Jeff Whorton (who couldn't play) but moved the baskets betwen rounds, and Sean Gibson who brought the "course closed" signed that I had forgotten for the first round. And thanks to all the guys who made loading the car a breeze prior to the first round.
The biggest mistake on the day for me (tournament running that is) was not clearly marking the OB on the island. I apologize for any competitive inconsistencies that this caused. It will be well-marked next year!
Anyway, I've jabbered long enough. Below are the scores.
Thank again for a great day.
Rick
