Points Updated!

Sorry for the delays - it has been a very crazy time!

Points are now updated and current.

In Open, Barry Schultz has a commanding lead. Terry Gallops is in second and Cam Todd is in the third. The race might be for 2nd, but 8 people are within 102 of Terry which is only three events!!

Masters has been dominated by Brian Schweberger. Chris Lee has a solid hold on 2nd while the race for third is between three Wilmington guys - Steve Narehood, Dave George and Scott Crouch. And look at Barry Schultz sitting in 6th. No one has ever cashed in two divisions - that would be an amazing accomplishment.

Jared Askew continues to lead advanced and Brian Adams isn't far behind. This race is truly anyone's race.

The closest battle is in the Intermediate field between Michael Spivey and Josh Rock. Spivey is just 14 points up.

The next events are in Charlotte (21 Hole Salute) and Raleigh (Midtown) in back to back weeks!

Change in NC Points Schedule

Due to a personal matter with the TD, the Archdale Chamber of Commerce Open will not occur in 2013.

The High Country Throwdown, June 28-29 in West Jefferson will replace this event on the series.

Thanks!

New leaders after Moncure

The story of the Swingin DB’s Chain Banger Bash III was clearly the weather. Rain changing over to snow and ice on Saturday led to the cancelation of the second round on Saturday and a late start on Sunday. Despite that, 85 people made their way to Moncure to fight the conditions and a very challenging 21 hole layout.

In the Open Division, David Wiggins Jr. cruised to an 8 throw win over Cam Todd. With the win, Wiggins, Jr. took the lead in the NC Series by 47 points over the  2012 champion Terry Gallops.

In Masters, Brian Schweberger battled two time world champion and 3 time US Masters Champion Barry Schultz and bested him by 4 shots. Schweberger and Schultz are now tied both finishing 2^nd to each other one time thus far.

The advanced division had a change in leaders as Jared Askew took over after another great showing in Moncure. Along with Ross Trevor, now in second, Askew played both events and took over the series lead. Todd Gingerich’s win put him in a tie for third place.

Intermediate looks as competitive as ever as multiple people played both events, but it was Derek Greene’s consistent play that puts him in the lead. After a strong 2^nd place finish, Josh Rock moved up into second place as well.

The series takes a month off before event three, Tar Heel Tournament, which takes place in the Triangle division in Chapel Hill on March 16-17.

Series Underway!

The first event of the 2013 series was the past weekend. Winning and taking early leads in the series were Terry Gallops (Open) Barry Schultz (Masters) Robert Leonard (advanced) and Luke Schmalfeld (Intermediate).

Check out the points over on the right side of the page.

Next up is this coming weekend in Moncure at the Swingin DB's Chain Bangers Bash.
