2012 Senior County Tournamnent
Well...the 2012 Senior County Tournament proved to be a successful event again under the new format that was added 5 years ago. Just as our Men's tournament is divided into flights, our Senior tournament is divided into age groups. The groups consist of 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, and 70-older. A champion is determined from each age group. However, we still have our traditional overall champion who wins a golf membership for the following season. To ensure all age groups compete at a level playing field the 50-54 and the 55-59 age groups play from the blue tees. Ages 60-64 and the 65-69 played from the white tees. While the 70-older age groups play from the gold tees.
The following are this year's Champions:
2012 Senior County Champions.....Tom Rezler.....Rod Wright.....Terry Horner.....Richard Stevens.....Gene Rhode.....

Tom Rezler is a staple of the County Tournament whether the Men's or the Senior Tournament he brings his fierce competition to all events. Tom was a runaway winner this year posting a 2 over par finish with the next closest being 6 shots away. Tom is a well deserved Champion on or off the golf course.

Rod pulled off the victory this year with less than his "A" game. That is a true sign of a champion. He went toe to toe with some great players and Rod was able to hang in there and beat out Bud Keefer by 2 shots. An overall Senior Championship is something his eyes are set on for the future. Great job Rod!

Terry Horner
- Round 1 79 (+7)
- Round 2 73(+1)
- TOTAL 152(+8)
Terry played a gutsy tournament and grinded his way to a 2 stroke victory. Terry was experiencing a bad back which required surgery after the tournament. His 73 on Sunday was one of the toughest rounds anyone could play given his condition. He had a tough time even getting his golf ball out of the hole. Congratlations Terry on a job well done!

Richard Stevens proves AGAIN he's a force to be reckon with in the Senior Tournament once again taking home a title in back to back years in the 65-69 age division. Richard finished with a 3 stroke victory in his age group. The players in his age group are going to have a tough time de-throwning this Champion!

Gene Rhode is a staple to this tournament and is building quite the trophy case. He is going to have expand it to fit all his Championships. Gene is a tee it up and play type of guy and has been a long standing member of Bay County for years. When playing Gene you better know the rules, because if you don't you will be receiving a stroke or two penalty. Great job Gene!
