Ashleigh Tarkington, Mike Smithwick, Dave Brown and James Bedford won first place with a 63. Mike Amato, Jerry Thomas, Mike Epson and Gary Meredith were second, two strokes back.

John Clark was closest to the hole on No. 5, while Scott Smith won closest to the hole on 12. Shelly Earle was the long-drive winner on the 18th.

The 2009 St. Columba Bill Pearce Classic also was held last weekend at HGC, and Paul Peterson, Jim Cross, Mike Anziano and Louis Steele took top honors with a score of 59. Roy Davin, Mike Shave, Mick McDermott and Curtis Toledo came in second with a 60. Brian Brock, Neil Mynatt, Bill Zimsky and Doug Sitter were third with a 62. John and Jack Siegrist teamed with Mike Albert and Max Wanotka to finish fourth overall with a 63. Rudy and Jack Duran, along with Billy Weaver and Dan Silva, came in fifth overall with a 66.

Upcoming events on the October calendar at DRGC: a men's pro-am Monday; a couples tournament Oct. 11; a pro-lady tournament Oct. 12; and the Mailman on Oct. 24. HGC will complete its tournament season with the Todd Sieger Shootout on Saturday.

This is the final seasonal column for 2009, and it marks a milestone for me. It all began back in 1981 when I was asked to finish up the season of columns until they could get someone to take over for '82. That was 28 years ago, and this column marks my 700th Clubhouse Porch.

As one person asked me earlier this week, 'Do you have writers cramp?' Not yet!
