2012 SPRING SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

Executive Director Al Lupis has announced the tentative CCPAL 2012 Spring schedule.

As previously announced, the league is delighted to be returning to the reknowned Hyannisport Golf Club for our opening event on April 4th.

The schedule, as noted, is tentative so there could be some tweaking done to it before we

actually kick off the season.

The Fall schedule is still under construction and should be announced in the near future.

MILLER EARNS TOP PRO-AM LEAGUE PRO AWARD

 

Golf Club of Yarmouth Port Director of Golf, Bob Miller has won the Cape Cod

Pro-Am League’s (CCPAL) Sullivan Award as the leading professional point scorer during the 2011 tournament year.    Points are earned each week based on players’ finishes in CCPAL events.

Miller’s stellar campaign saw him capture six outright victories plus a share of top pro honors in three other tournaments.   He clinched the division with two dates still remaining on the league’s schedule when he tied for first place on November 9th at Pocasset.

Miller’s final total of 299.7 points allowed him to distance himself from runner-up Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) who had 264.0 points.     PGA Life Member Al Lupis (capecodgolf.com) finished third with 196.5 points.

This marks the third consecutive Sullivan title for Miller who also topped the league in points in 2009 and 2010.

The Haberl Award for the league’s top senior pro went to Gunnarson who topped that category with 308 points.  Tad Constant of Cumberland, RI took second with 212.0 points while Bill Kay (Cole River Golf) was third with 174.0 points.

The league is scheduled to open its 62nd year on April 4th at Hyannisport.

ST CYR WINS SEASON-ENDING TOURNAMENT AT BAY CLUB

LeBaron Hills pro, Wayne St. Cyr captured the final event of the Cape Cod Pro-Am League’s  61st season on Wednesday with an even-par 70 at the Bay Club in Mattapoisset.

A trio of players finished a single stroke behind St. Cyr with 71s.   They were Golf Club of Yarmouth Port pro, Bob Miller, Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) and amateur Roger McGovern who plays out of Halifax.

Rounding out the top five was Kittansett amateur, Claude Hoopes at 72 who was the only one of the top finishers to equal par on the last nine holes.

McGovern held a one stroke lead after the first nine with a 2-under par 32 on the front side.   A double bogie six on the 10th hole was very costly and he was never able to regain his momentum.

Gunnarson took over the lead at that point but surrendered it to a couple of St. Cyr birdies on the 15th and 16th holes and those proved to be the difference at the end of the day.

The  duo of St. Cyr and Tad Constant (Wentworth Hills) won in the pro-pro team event with a 68.

Miller, Ed Alves, Tom Fiocco and Joe Cavanagh took the team gross first prize with a score of 63.

Al Lupis (PGA Life Member), David Houghton, Brian Drake and Bill Daley tied with an all-amateur group from Poquoy Brook:  Bill Kidik, Tom Connolly, Mark Travers and Adam Morely to share the team net win with 59s.

The league returns for its 62nd season in early April.

KELLER WINS CAPE COD PRO-AM EVENT AT RIDGE CLUB

Cape Amateur stalwart, Joe Keller of Oyster Harbors put on a birdie barrage early to easily win this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament at the Ridge Club in Sandwich with a 4-under par 67.   Keller had five birdies in the first seven holes  to build a 4 stroke lead at the turn and never looked back.  

This marked Keller's second straight sub-70 round in league play as he posted a 69 last week at Pocasset.

Keller’s teammate and fellow amateur standout Dick King (Hyannis) was Keller’s closest pursuer taking sole second place with a 71.

Still another amateur, Eric Roberts (Golf Club of Cape Cod) posted a 74 to finish third while pros Al Lupis (CapeCodGolf.com) and Tom Johnson (Dick’s Sporting Goods – Natick) rounded out the top five overall finishers at 75.

Two teams finished in a first place tie in the pro-pro team event.   Lupis teamed with Tad Constant (Unattached) to post a combined 71 which matched the duo of Johnson and Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester).

Keller, King, Bob Carleton and Chad Doe were the victors in the team gross division with 63 while  the group of Ross Singmaster (Ocean Edge), David Keville, David Shaughnessy and John Rush topped the team net field with a 60.

The league wraps up its 61st season next week at the Bay Club in Mattapoisett.

 

BARKER WINS CAPE COD PRO-AM LEAGUE TOURNAMENT AT POCASSET

 

Amateur Scott Barker of East Sandwich turned in one of the most spectacular rounds  of the 2011 Cape Cod Pro-Am League’s season with a sparkling 7-under par 65 at the Pocasset Golf Club on Wednesday  to give him  his first win since recently joining the league.

His career round overshadowed an outstanding  score of 69 which was recorded by area amateur stalwart  Joe Keller of Oyster Harbors.

Barker was locked in a close battle with Keller  at the turn shooting 2-under 34 while Keller lurked a single stroke back at 35.  Barker then pulled away with birdies on the 11th and 12th to build a three stroke edge. 

Things  tightened again when he bogied the fourteenth while Keller birdied to close the gap to a single stroke.  Both players birdied the 16th to maintain the one stroke difference  but Barker then holed out from 80 yards for an eagle at the par 5 seventeenth hole against a Keller birdie to increase his margin to two strokes.

Barker then capped his day holing a treacherous 20 foot birdie putt on the eighteenth while Keller suffered a bogie to account for the final margin of victory.

Pros Bob Miller (Golf Club of Yarmouth Port) and Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) shared third place with 73s while Ken Lewis (Cummaquid) shot 74 to round out the top five overall scorers.

Wayne St. Cyr (LeBaron Hills) teamed with Ross Singmaster (Ocean Edge) to cop the pro-pro team competition with a best ball 68.

Barker led his group of Mike Moniz,  Rod Walkey and John Yanuskiewicz to a team gross victory with a 64.

Blind drawn pro Tom Johnson helped the group of Roger McGovern, Bill Brackett, Jim Otoole and Donaldson Bennett to first place in the team net division with a 57.

The league plays next Wednesday at the Ridge Club.

 

LUPIS AND JONES TOP  PRO-AM TOURNAMENT AT PLYMOUTH C.C.

PGA Life Member, Al Lupis and Captains Course amateur, Barry Jones shared top billing at this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament held Wednesday at the Plymouth Country Club.   Both recorded 3-over par 72s.

The top of the leader board was tightly bunched as Halifax amateur David Pierce and unattached amateur,  Scott Barker finished tied for third with 73s while Cummaquid pro,  Ken Lewis rounded out the top five with a 74.

Barker held the lead after nine holes with a 1-under score of 33 which had him one stroke ahead of Lupis.   He held on to a one stroke cushion until the fourteenth hole when his bogie permitted Jones and Lupis to move into a 3-way tie.

Barker then called a one-stroke penalty on himself at the seventeenth green when he noted the slightest movement of his ball after he had addressed the putt.   That bogie cost him a tie for the lead and he was unable to overtake the eventual winners on the final hole.

Lupis trailed Jones by a single stroke going to the eighteenth but his final hole birdie boosted him into the first-place tie.

Lupis teamed with Dick’s Sporting Goods pro, Tom Johnson to share the pro-pro team win with the duo of Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) and Andrew Simon (Plymouth C.C.) at 69.

The team low gross victory was shared by the teams of Lupis, Eric Roberts, Fred Jewett and Tom Farrell who were knotted with Bob Miller (G.C. of Yarmouth Port), Ed Alves, Joe Cavanagh and Steve Mathias at 65.

Wayne St. Cyr (LeBaron Hills), David Cordeiro, Scott Petersen and John Levins topped the team net competition with a score of 59.

The league plays next Wednesday at Pocasset.

 

LEWIS WINS CCPAL EVENT AT WOODS HOLE

Cummaquid pro, Ken Lewis shot a 1-under par 70 on Wednesday to win this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League  tournament at the Woods Hole Golf Club.

Two players – pro Wayne St. Cyr (LeBaron Hills) and amateur David Shaugnessy finished a single stroke back with 71s.   Another amateur, Barry Jones took fourth with a 72 and pro Tom Johnson (Dick’s Sporting Goods) closed out the top five at 74.

Lewis and Shaugnessy were knotted at 2-under after the  front nine.   The game changer for Lewis came on the twelfth hole when he birdied while Shaugnessy bogied thus giving him a two stroke edge going to the final holes.  

The gap closed to a single stroke when Lewis bogied the 17th hole  but matching pars on eighteen sealed the win for Lewis.

St. Cyr was a model of consistency after a bogie on the 7th and a birdie on the 8th as he made ten consecutive pars to finish with his even par score.

Lewis teamed with Al Lupis (capecodgolf.com) to win the pro-pro team competition with a combined 67.

Jones, Sal Boccuzzi, Dennis Talbot and Ed Pavlu were the team gross victors with a 64 while Steve Field, Glen Field, Chris Menne and Rich Peterson copped the low team net prize with a 60.

The league plays next Wednesday at the Plymouth Country Club.

 

JONES WINS WIANNO TOURNAMENT

Captains Course amateur, Barry Jones braved inclement weather conditions to take this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament at the Wianno Golf Club with a 1-over par 71.

Jones established a lead on the front nine with a 1-under par 34 which left him a single stroke ahead of pro Bob Miller (Golf Club of Yarmouth Port) at the turn.   None of the other eventual top finishers were closer than three strokes at this point.

Sandwich Hollows amateur, Mike Boden was the only pursuer to keep pace with Jones on the back side actually besting him by a stroke with his 1-over 36.    The remainder of the top finishers struggled coming home as the rain and wind increased as the day wore on.

Boden’s 75 gave him sole second place while four players shared a third place tie at 78.   They were Miller, Al Lupis (PGA Life Member), David Houghton (Captains) and Sal Boccuzzi (Captains).

Boccuzzi’s day was highlighted by a hole-in-one on the 112 yard eleventh hole.

Miller and Lupis teamed for a victory in the pro-pro team event with a combined 70.

Jones, Boccuzzi, Dennis Talbot and Doug Hook were the team gross winners with a 67.

Tad Constant (blind draw), Howard Woollard, Bill Daley, Geoff Thompson and Tom Amorello topped the net team standings with a 64.

The week plays next Wednesday at Woods Hole.

 

HOOPES SCORES WIN AT WILLOWBEND

Amateur Claude Hoopes of Kittansett fired his finest round of the year carding a 1-under par 69 at the challenging  Willowbend  Country Club to win this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament.

Hoopes was locked in a struggle with two other amateurs:  Barry Jones (Captains) and Mike Boden (Sandwich Hollows) trailing both by a stroke after the first nine.

First to fall out of the hunt was Boden whose triple bogey 6 on the fourteenth hole effectively ended his chances.   At that point  Hoopes and Jones were deadlocked but Hoopes’ birdie on the fifteenth against Jones’ bogie gave Hoopes what eventually proved to be the winning margin.   

Jones did close to a single stroke with a birdie on the sixteenth but Hoopes closed the deal on the eighteenth with his fifth birdie.

Jones ended in second place with a 71 while Rochester pro, Rusty Gunnarson took third with a 72.   Boden was fourth at 73.

Pro Bob Giusti (Halifax)  along with  amateurs Mark Mitchell (Halifax) and Ivan Heller (Ponkapoag) rounded out the top five with 75s.

Giusti teamed with Tad Constant (unattached) to win the pro-pro team division with a 70

Topping the team gross competition was the combo of Gunnarson, Hoopes,  Mike Moniz and Dan Schroth with a 6-under 64.

The team net prize went to the group of Al Lupis (capecodgolf.com), Howard Woollard, John Ricotta and Jack Broderick with a  score of 58.

The league plays next Wednesday at Wianno.

 

BODEN WINS SECOND STRAIGHT AT NEW SEABURY

 

Hyannis G.C. amateur, Mike Boden continued his recent hot streak winning Wednesday’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League Tournament at the New Seabury Country Club (Ocean Course) with a 3-under par 69. 

Boden birdied five of the first eight holes on this challenging course then put it into cruise control to hold on for the win.

Hot on his heels was another amateur, Barry Jones (Captains) who finished a single stroke back at 70.  Jones closed to within one stroke when Boden made bogie on the seventeenth hole but matching pars on the eighteenth secured the victory for Boden.

Rochester pro, Rusty Gunnarson was low professional coming in with a 1-over 73 while fellow pro, Bob Miller (Golf Club of Yarmouth Port) and Hyannis G.C. amateur Dick King rounded out the top five with 74s.

Miller combined with Golf Club of C.C. pro Scott Masse to tie for the low pro-pro team prize with the tandem of  Al Lupis (capecodgolf.com) and Ken Lewis (Cummaquid) with scores of 70.

There were ties at the top in both the team gross and team net divisions.

Lupis, Dave Houghton, Howard Woollard and Conrad Watson deadlocked with Tad Constant (Unattached), Boden, Phil Fratantonio and Jack Conway for low gross with 67s.

Team net winners were the groups of Scott Gundy, David Cordeiro, Scott Petersen and John Yankiewicz who knotted with Mike Moniz, Don Bennett, Ed Rogers and Jim Otoole.   Both turned in 63s.

The league plays next Wednesday at Willowbend

 

PACE OF PLAY REMINDER

We are receiving some complaints regarding the pace of play of a few of
our teams.

Barring holdups by non-league play in front of us; rounds should be completed
in about 4 1/2 hours or less. 

Please maintain your position immediately behind the group in front of you. 
No group should be more than a hole behind.

A team falling more than a hole behind the group in front for 3 holes or more may be subject to a penalty.    We DON'T want this to happen!

 

 

Willowbend Special Announced

The league has received the following message from David Wood, Executive Vice-President of the Willowbend Country Club:

Willowbend is going to offer each participant in the Pro Am League's October 12th event a gift certificate.  This certificate will entitle the recipient to the following:

A foursome of golf with carts and the recipient of the certificate can play complimentary and the other 3 members of the foursome will pay $75 per player.

The certificate would be good for use between October 13, 2011 (the day following our tournament) and June 1, 2012 and based on a space available basis, meaning we may need to work them around the membership.

We encourage our membership to take advantage of this generous offer for a complimentary round at this terrific golf course.

BODEN WINS CCPAL TOURNAMENT AT

OLDE BARNSTABLE FAIRGROUNDS

Hyannis amateur, Mike Boden took full advantage of mild temperatures and light winds firing a  5-under par 66 at the Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Club to win this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League Tournament.

Boden was nearly flawless on this day as he carded six birdies offset by a single bogie.   He did the most damage on the first nine with birds at the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 9th.   Two more at the 11th and 12th were recorded on the back side.  His sole bogey came on the 6th hole.

 

Pro, Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) was the day’s low professional with a 2-under 69.  Gunnarson nearly recorded one of golf’s rarest feats as his second shot to the par 5 eighteenth hole ended a mere 3 feet from a hole and a double eagle two.   He took advantage of the spectacular shot by holing the putt for an eagle.

 

Al Lupis (Capecodgolf.com) and Wayne St. Cyr (LeBaron Hills) were next with 74s and Bob Miller (G.C. of Yarmouth Port) rounded out the top 5 with a 75.

Gunnarson teamed with G.C. of Yarmouth Port pro, Lisanne Miller to capture the pro-pro team division with a 66.

The team of Tad Constant, Boden, Phil Fratantonio and Jack Conway were the team gross winners at 65.  

Lupis, Scott Barker, Donaldson Bennett and John Ricotta topped the team net standings with a 60.

Next week the league plays at New Seabury (Ocean Course).

 

DICK KING WINS AT EASTWARD HO!

Hyannis Golf Club amateur, Dick King continued his current hot string with a 3-under par 68 to win this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament at the Eastward HO! Golf Club.   

King’s win follows on the heels of his strong showing at last week’s Senior Cape Cod Open where he finished as second low amateur.  King had four birdies on his tour of the venerable Chatham layout against a single bogie.

Miacommet pro, Phil Truano finished a single stroke behind King with a 69 and held a share of the lead until the 17th hole where King’s birdie allowed him to gain a one stroke advantage and that’s how it ended as both players made par on the final hole.

Hyannis amateur, Mike Boden was alone in third place with a 70 in a round featured by an eagle 3 on the par 5 eleventh hole.

Bob Miller (G.C. of Yarmouth Port) and Michael Carbone (Dennis Pines) rounded out the top five with 71s.

The tandem of Carbone and Brad Sherman (15thgolfclub.com) captured the pro-pro event with a combined 67.

Low team gross winners were Tad Constant, Boden, Phil Fratantonio and Jack Conway with a 62 while Tom  Johnson, John Moffet, Geoff Thompson and Ed Desmond took the low team net prize with a 57.

Two teams shared the low combine gross and net prize:  Al Lupis, Eric Roberts, Fred Jewett and Brian Drake tied with the team of Bob Miller, Lisanne Miller, Ed Alves and Tom Fiocco with scores of 126.

Next Wednesday the league plays at Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds.

 

THREE PLAYERS TOP CAPTAINS COURSE TOURNAMENT

The Cummaquid Golf Club dominated the leaderboard of this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League Tournament held at the Captains (Starboard) Course on Wednesday.

Cummaquid Assistant Pro, Ken Lewis and amateur member Matt Grew tied with another amateur, Bruce Barton (Falmouth C.C.) with 2-over 74s to lead the field.

Another Cummaquid amateur, Tim Norton was a single stroke back with a 75 while LeBaron Hills pro, Wayne St. Cyr rounded out the top five with a 76.

Lewis’ day was the most eventful of the top finishers as he carded six birdies but also three double-bogies during his round.   Barton had 3 birdies offset  by 5 bogies while Grew had two birds and four bogies.

Not surprisingly, Lewis, Grew and Norton teamed with another Cummaquid member, Bob Kingman to win the team combined gross and net event with an 18 under par 124.

The league plays next Wednesday at Eastward HO!

 

 

CCPAL ANNOUNCES FALL MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL

The Cape Cod Pro-Am League is offering a special inducement to area golfers who wish to enjoy competitive tournament golf on some of the finest courses in southeastern Massachusetts this fall.

For the 2011 fall season; players can join the league for the reduced rate of $50.   The normal annual membership fee is $100. 

This offers the new members the opportunity to enter any of the events on the league’s fall schedule which features twelve tournaments.   The individual entry fees for the tournaments vary depending upon course fees that the league pays.

The league opens on Wednesday, September 7th at the renowned Duxbury Yacht club.   The entire schedule can be viewed at the leagues website (www.ccpal.com/schedule.php).

Interested parties can download a membership form from the website (www.ccpal.com/membership.php) and mail it along with their check to:  CCPAL, P.O. Box1373, Harwich, MA 02645. 

 

 

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

LEAGUE PROS MAY NOW CAPTAIN MULTIPLE TEAMS

Starting in the fall, league professionals will be permitted to captain multiple teams at our weekly tournaments.

This will allow a pro to bring more than one team provided there is space available to accommodate them.   The pro will play with one of the groups and will be the “blind draw” for his other group(s).

This will give those pros that field a second or third team additional opportunities to win.

We believe that this change along with the reduced entry fees that were introduced late in the spring should result in increased pro and amateur participation at our events.


 

 

HOUGHTON AND MCDONALD WINNERS AT PLYMOUTH

 

Warm temperatures and calm winds along with an immaculately groomed golf course equaled low scoring at this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League Tournament played at the Plymouth Country Club.

Captains amateur, David Houghton shot his age in a superlative outing but had to share top billing with Florida (West Bay Club) pro, Jon McDonald as both finished with 2-under par 67s.

Houghton’s round included three birdies and one bogie while McDonald’s day was more adventuresome as he notched five birdies against three bogies.

Golf Club of Yarmouth Port golf director, Bob Miller and amateur Barry Jones (Captains) both finished a single stroke off the lead with 68s.

Pros Bob Giusti (Halifax) and Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) along with amateurs Mark Mitchell (Halifax) and Bob Hoxie (Sandwich Hollows) all carded 71s to round out the top five.

Pro Al Lupis (CapeCodGolf.com) won his first Cape Cod Pro-Am League event of the season on Wednesday carding a 73 at the Country Club of New Bedford.

Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) and amateur Bob Hassett (Highland Links) shared second place with 74s.

Pro Bill Kay (Cole River) along with amateurs Howard Woollard (Ridge Club), Mike Boden (Hyannis) and Barry Jones (Captains) filled out the top finishers with 75s.

MILLER WINS HYANNIS TOURNAMENT

 

Golf Club of Yarmouth Port head professional, Bob Miller overcame windy and brisk conditions at the Hyannis Golf Club on Wednesday to win this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament with a 4-under par 67.

Miller used three birdies on the front nine to make the turn in 32 which put him four strokes up on his nearest pursuers.   He carded a 1-under 35 on the back side to easily hold off the rest of the field.

Amateur Mark Mitchell of Halifax finished with a 71 to take second place overall.   Veteran pro, Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) was third with a 74 while five different players tied for fourth with 74s.   They were Al Lupis (CapeCod Golf.com), Bob Giusti (Halifax), and amateurs Sal Boccuzzi (Captains), Barry Jones (Captains) and Ed Alves Wannamoisset.

Miller teamed with Bill Kay (Cole River) for first in the pro-pro team division with a 66.

A score of 63 by the group of Miller, Alves, Kirsten Davis and Bill Daley was good enough to win the low team gross competition.

Jones, Boccuzzi, Steve Sances and Jim Handerhan captured the team net top prize with a 59.

Next week, the league plays at the Country Club of New Bedford.

 


 

 

MILLER WINS AT HALIFAX

Golf Club of Yarmouth Port pro, Bob Miller captured Wednesday’s  Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament at the Country Club of Halifax carding a 2-under par 70.

Taking third was Rusty Gunnarson (Rochester) with a 72 while host pro Bob Giusti and Wayne St. Cyr (LeBaron Hills) tied for fourth with 73s.

AMATEURS PREVAIL AT GOLF CLUB OF CAPE COD

Windy conditions and an extremely tough golf course made for high scoring conditions and the unusual result of four amateurs atop the leader board at this week’s Cape Cod Pro-Am League tournament at the Golf Club of Cape Cod.

Amateur Barry Jones (Captains) took overall honors with a 2-over par 74.   Critical to his win was a birdie on the par 4 seventeenth hole.  This put him one stroke ahead of Hyannis amateur, Dick King and the slim lead held up when both bogied the last hole.

King’s 75 tied him with Captains amateur, Dave Houghton with still another amateur, Mike Boden (Hyannis) another stroke back at 76.

Three pros were next in line with 78s.   They were Wayne St. Cyr (LeBaron Hills), Bob Miller (Golf Club of Yarmouth Port) and Tom Johnson (Dick’s Sptg Gds-Natick).

MILLER TOPS CCPAL FIELD AT SANKATY HEAD

Golf Club of Yarmouth Port pro, Bob Miller scored his second Cape Cod Pro-Am League win in as many weeks shooting a 2-over par 74 at the Sankaty Head Golf Club on Wednesday.

Birdies were at a premium with the wind kicking up over the venerable layout. Miller managed only two on his day but it was enough to secure the victory.

Bob Giusti (Halifax) took second place overall finishing a single stroke back with a 75.

The top five was rounded out by host pro, Mark Heartfield, Jesse Schechtman (Sandwich Hollows) and amateur Ed Alves (Wannamoisset) who all carded 76s.

Schechtman teamed with Wayne St. Cyr (LeBaron Hills) to capture the pro-pro team event with a 72.

The combination of Tad Constant (Unattached), Claude Hoopes, Phil Fratantonio and Tom Fiocco topped the gross team division with a 68.

Schechtmans’s group of Dominic Macone, Bob Thorpe and Greg Fenton took team net honors with a 59.

The league visits the Golf Club of Cape Cod next Wednesday
