southern southpaw
Gautier, Mississippi – Chad Hare
of Southside, Alabama won the first
Southern Southpaw Championships
(SSC) with a 2 over 74 on Sunday, June
5 at Shell Landing Golf Club in Gautier,
Mississippi.
Hare’s 74 was good enough for a
two shot win over Earl Thornton of
Brandon, Mississippi. Hare also grabbed
the Alabama Left Handed Golfers
Association title with the win. Thornton,
a transplant to Mississippi from Alabama,
won his second Mississippi Lefties title
with his second place finish in the overall.
He won his first Mississippi Lefties title in
2013.
The SSC senior title went to Richard
Mathis of Hattiesburg. His 2 over 74 was
good enough for a one shot victory over
Newton Ogletree of Chelsea, Alabama.
Mathis also won his second Mississippi
Lefties Seniors title, repeating the
feat from 2014. Ogletree claimed the
Alabama seniors title with his finish.
Originally slated for a 36 hole
championship, Shell Landing was
plagued by over 5 inches of rain the
night before the tournament was to start.
A washout of the opening round reduced
the tourney to 18 holes.
The
Southern
Southpaw
Championships hopes to create a
championship tournament for lefty
golfers from the states of Alabama,
Louisiana and Mississippi.
The tournament will move to Alabama
next year. Story submitted.
