Hutchins takes Walter Dick Memorial

By Chuck Reynolds

With lightning fast greens and challenging pin positions leaving most scores on the high side, Ward Hutchins was the only one player managing to break par at the Erie Shores Men's Annual Walter Dick Memorial Closing Field Day Tournament this past weekend.

Hutchins' two under par 69 gave him a three stroke win over multi-time winners Brian Humphreys and Jim McCallum who both finished tied for second at one over par 72.

It was a sweet victory for Hutchins who had also finished at the top last year, tied for low with his friend and playing partner, Brian Humphreys, before losing it on the first hole of a sudden playoff.

Other fine scores this year included Ryan Harder who fired a two over par 73 to finish alone in fourth place one shot ahead of Greg Zimney's 74 and two better than Greg Dunmore's 75.

Bill Ruiter and Wray Pollock tied for seventh place with their six over par rounds of 77, while Dale Marinacci, Scott Wilkinson and Ken Steingart all had rounds of 78 to finish one stroke ahead of Les Young who finished with a 79.

In the Low Net category, Glen Reaume led all shooters with a net 65, edging out Les Young and Greg Dunmore by a single stroke. Joe Morin and Harry Badz tied for fourth place with their net scores of 68, while Brian Collins, Earl Dunmore and Don Posliff were all tied in a group having net rounds of 69.  To read more go to www.leamingtonpostandshopper.com.
