An exciting finish to the 2010 Houlton Club Championship found Dylan Flewelling edging defending champion Jerry York in a three-hole playoff. Tied after 36 holes of excellent golf, Dylan birded two of the three holes to win his first Club Championship. But, the youngster will win again as he is a very talented player.
In the “B” Division, Nick Chase finished ahead of Fred Putnam, while in the “C” Division, Walter Mitty was first and Gary Stewart, second, and Wayne Quint won the “D” Division. The Women’s champ was Linda Holmes, with Lori Holmes as the “B” champ and Jennifer Wallace was tops in “C.”
Doug Dickison topped Kyle Bouchard to win the Junior’s championship.
On a personal note, I enjoyed playing one round with Fred Putnam as 60 years ago; I had the pleasure of playing with his Dad in club play. Albert was a true gentleman and fine golfer.
