Several Utah Golf Professionals teamed up with their Assistants this December to compete in the 2012 Utah Section PGA Pro-Assistants Championship presented by TaylorMade Adidas Ashworth Golf. This event has long been a part of the Utah PGA schedule and its primary purpose is to cultivate the relationship between Head Golf Professional and Assistant Golf Professional. The 2-Man Best Ball competition consisted of 2 rounds and both were played at spectacular courses!
Players enjoyed the warm St. George air in Round 1 at SunRiver Golf Course where, after the days play, an optional Derby was played. The Derby was a riveting battle where 9 teams all teed off together and played alternate shot eliminating one team each hole. Head Golf Professional at Palisade State Park Golf Course and Utah Section PGA Vice President, Chris Stover and his Assistant Jordan VanOrman prevailed as the winners of this pressure-packed prizefight.
Round 2 was played at Coral Canyon Golf Course where Jared Barnes and assistant Joe Summerhays shot a score of 62 to go along with their 64 in Round 1 to win the Pro-Assistants Championship! In the Adidas Division Tony Angelico and Shawn Edwards won with a 57-64, 121 total!
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to Phil Deimling of TaylorMade and Jeff Smith of Adidas Ashworth for making this an outstanding tournament! A combination of fantastic weather, good golf courses and great sponsors made for one of the best Pro-Assistant events ever! This has always been a favorite among Utah Section PGA Golf Professionals so mark your calendars now for next December.
