The Professional Chapter Championships

Northern Chapter

The Northern Chapter Championship was held at Talbot Country Club on May 30th. Jay Newcomb (The Suburban Club) didn’t get off to the start he was looking for, making bogey on 3 of his first 5 holes. However, he rebounded with a birdie on the 6th hole and shot 2-over 38 on his first nine. Pars on 10 - 13 still had him at 2-over and within striking distance of the lead. He got hot on holes 14 -17, making four straight birdies to get to 2-under par. A par on 18 gave him a 2-under 70 and the only under par round of the day.

In the Senior Division, David Long (Renditions Golf Club) made 4 bogies and the rest pars on his day. The 4-over 76 gave him the win in the Senior Division by 2 shots.

The Central Chapter Championship was held at Washington Golf & Country Club on May 30th. Anthony DeFrank (TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm) and Chad Moseley (Belle Haven Country Club) had quite the battle going on all day. Paired together, they led the way for the majority of the day.

Moseley pushed it to 4-under through 12 holes and DeFrank made birdie on the Par-5 10th to keep within range. Bogies on 14 and 15 for Moseley and a birdie on 16 for DeFrank had them tied at 2-under coming to the 18th. They both hit good drives and approach shots.
