Timuquana Country Club claims 2019 Club Team Championship

Posted

The team representing Timuquana Country Club recently posted a 19-under-par score of 125 to outpace 22 other teams and win the 22nd Club Team Championship, contested at Deerwood Country Club. The Timuquana team consisted of PGA member Jason Smith and club members Bill Hardaker, Fred Seely and Jon Thompson. Much of the team’s impetus came from Smith and Hardaker, who recorded five and seven natural birdies and scores of 69 and 67, respectively, on their own ball.

Two strokes back at 127 in the two net best balls format was St. Johns Golf Club, featuring the team of head pro Wes Tucker and members Ron Castillo, Kirk Irvin and Jeff Willoughby.

 Taking third-place honors with a score of 128 was Amelia River Golf Club and the team of pro Alan Clack, Paul Worley, Dale Dignum and Stockton Rogers.

 The Club Team Championship was co-sponsored and conducted by the Jacksonville Area Golf Association (JAGA) and the Northern Chapter of the North Florida PGA. Northern Chapter president and Deerwood head pro Tim Cooper served as host professional.

 Following lunch and awards, 2019 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Dennis Walters treated the contestants to his inspirational golf exhibition, which he has been performing since being paralyzed from the waist down at the age of 24 as the result of a golf cart accident. Walters was hosted by his long-time friend, fellow PGA of America member and JAGA director from TPC Sawgrass, Duke Butler III.
