Hoft’s precision leads to3-shot win at Oldfield

No daring bunker shots or gutsy putts were needed. J.D.Hoft’s steady dosage of fairways and greens worked justfine.

Playing nearly every hole to perfection with his driver andirons, Hoft avoided mistakes and cruised to a three-strokewin over Robbie Stilwell and Chandler Vilcheck at the 25thHilton Head Amateur on Sunday at Oldfield Golf Club.

Hoft shot 3 under on his final round for a two-day 5-under139, the only player under par both days. On Sunday, hekept bogey off his scorecard and collected all three birdieson par-5s, forcing challengers to produce a sub-60s scorethat never materialized.

“He played mistake-free golf,” Vilcheck said. “It’s fun towatch.”

The stout 26-year-old won his first Amateur title in threetries in steady, borderline boring fashion. Hitting driver onevery par-4 and par-5, Hoft hit 13 of 14 fairways in regula-tion. He stayed nearly as true with his approach shots,hitting 16 of 18 greens.

“It was a really low stress kind of round,” said Hoft. “Ididn’t stuff it every hole, but I was in birdie range on prettymuch all of the holes.”

Hoft missed his fair share of those makeable birdies,including an 18-incher on No. 12 that lipped out and a 3-foot putt on No. 8, but he ignored those failures andcapitalized on the par-5s. He drove the green in two andtwo-putted on Nos. 5 and 12 and sank an 8-foot putt on the18th to capture the championship, one that came with littlesurprise.

Many in the final groups pegged Hoft, who started the daytied for first with Vilcheck and Dave Hambly, as the guy tochase.

“I had a lot of buddies here saying ‘I’m going to come get(you),’” said Hoft.

No one did, and few even came close.

Relaxed Braver wins HeritageJunior in playoff

Sam Braver flashed the same sheepish smile all day forone reason: He never thought he could win.

“I was just hoping to get in the top three,” he said.

Surprise.

The 17-year-old capped a torrid finish by birdieing thefirst playoff hole — producing his biggest grin yet — andtopped Austin Cody with a final-round 5 under to win theAmerican Junior Golf Association’s Heritage JuniorChampionship on Friday at Hampton Hall Club.

He finished at 8-under 208 and was joined atop theleaderboard by Rebecca Durham, whose 2-under roundpropelled her past a struggling girls field on the final dayfor a four-shot victory at 1 under overall.

Myrtle Beach6Suggested Local Rules for Your Club

The Carolinas Golf Association urges all clubs to write and publish a list of local rules under the title “Notice to Competi-tors.” This allows members and guests at your club to observe better the USGA Rules of Golf.

Local rules are covered thoroughly in the 2004-2005 USGA Decisions on the Rules of Golf. Several questions about localrules are answered in decisions under Section 33-8. These decisions are listed on pages 434 through 447 of the 2004-2005 USGA Decisions book.

It is important to note that a committee or club cannot waive a Rule of Golf, such as a rule allowing competitors to usemore than 14 clubs. A local rule must not violate the Rules of Golf. Many of the decisions listed under Section 33-8describe situations that cannot be considered a local rule.

There are many local rules a committee or club cannot write. Many are popular but not allowed by the Rules of Golf:

* Waiving the requirement to hole out in a stroke play or medal play event.

* Creating a ball drop on the green side of a water hazard for a ball that fails to clear the hazard.

* Agreeing to discontinue play because of rain.

* Invoking a tree “root rule.”

* Waiving the rule that penalized a player for a ball putted from the putting green that strikes the flagstick.

* Stating that free relief is granted from bushes or trees that define yardage.

* Defining part of a boundary (out of bounds) fence as an obstruction.

* Allowing a player to drop a ball on the green side of a regular water hazard without crossing it with a stroke, no matterhow many penalty strokes are applied.

Some important valid local rules are suggested below. You should include as many of these as practical in your “Noticeto Competitors.” The CGA suggests you post your “Notice” in locker rooms, golf shop and/or first tee.

Local rules your club really should adopt

Embedded ball: “Through the Green”If you don’t adopt this rule, you cannot take embedded ball relief inthe rough.“Relief for an embedded ball is through the green. The procedure is described on page 98 of the2004-2005 Rules of Golf.”

Out of boundsItems used to define out of bounds (fences, stakes, roads, white lines, etc.) should be listed onyour club’s local rules sheet. Be specific.

Water hazardsWater hazards at your club should bedefined. For CGA events, we describe the differencebetween identifying (the existence of a) water hazardand defining a water hazard:

“Regular water hazards are identified by yellow stakesand defined by yellow lines. Lateral water hazards areidentified by red stakes and defined by red lines.”

Because the CGA uses stakes only to identify hazards,they do not have to be located on the lines or insidethe margin of the hazard.

Amateur Championship Heads to theCountry Club of South Carolina

The Country Club of South Carolina, set in the Pee Dee region of the state, provides a great challenge for the field of 137amateurs. Dogwoods, azaleas and old oak trees line the course and protect the TiffEagle greens. The scenic lakes, BlackCreek and 103 bunkers would test any golfer, but even more so during the Amateur Championship. Thirty five of thosebunkers have been refurbished since early 2007. If players feel they need a little extra practice, a newly constructed, state-of-the-art practice facility was installed just three years ago.

Jeffrey Goff won the 2006 event, contested at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, SC. The Jackson native shot a three-under parfour day score of 277. Goff received a scholarship to play at USC Aiken and will be returning to defend his title as StateAmateur Champion. Some other past champions playing in this year’s tournament include Bert Atkinson, Frank Ford III,Bubba Hightower and Gus Sylvan. The Country Club of S.C. should prove to have as much excitement as recent years withall of these great competitors and more in the field.

This year’s field is highlighted by many players. As in recent years, the youth movement is making its presence felt. Of the137-player field, 70 of participants are either 22 years of age or younger. Current SCGA Junior Champion and three timeUSGA Junior Amateur Qualifier Wesley Bryan is currently playing some great golf. Southeastern Amateur Champion, andthe elder Bryan brother, George, IV is also a threat. Other hot players coming into the 2007 Amateur are Patrick Rada who isthe SCGA Four Ball and CGA SC Match Play Champion, Phillip Mollica who just won the North-South Match Play Champi-onship and Festival of Flowers Champion, Steve Liebler. Jordan Byrd, Clemson University’s assistant golf coach will be inattendance after a runner-up finish in the 2006 SCGA State Amateur.

Family representation is another interesting aspect of this year’s State Amateur Championship. Other duos that add to theBryan brother pair include, Jonathan and Daniel Bowden of Easley, David and Robert Dargan of Blythewood, Cheraw’sBaker and McCuen Elmore, Greenwood’s Ben and Matt Martin and the Rody brothers of Tyler and Ryan from Spartanburg.The Todd family is represented by Walter Todd, son Walt Todd and nephew Thomas Todd, III. Chase Liebler, son of Steveand the other half of the Father Son winning team will participate. Finally the Glaze family is represented by Gettys Glaze,brother Lee and nephew Scott who plays for the College of Charleston.

Four qualifying events were held at various courses around the state during July. The first was held at Three Pines CountryClub in Woodruff on July 10. Todd Hendley earned medalist honors after shooting a solid four under par 68. The second offour qualifiers took place at the Northwoods Golf Course on July 13. On a very hot summer day, Bamberg’s Allen Koon, whoalso plays for the University of South Carolina, shot a three under par 69 to claim the victory. On July 16, Coosaw CreekCountry Club held the third qualifier as we witnessed last year’s Junior Champion, Jacob Burger, shoot a 67 to obtain themedalist title. And finally, Sunset Country Club in Sumter hosted the fourth and final of the qualifiers on July 18, whereMichael Sims shot a qualifying best six under par 64 to sweep the field and take home the last medalist position.

The Amateur Championship is one of 18 SCGA statewide championships, 76 one-day contests, nine USGA qualifiers, seven40-plus tournaments and five special events conducted by the SCGA. Results, schedules and applications may be accessedvia the Internet at www.scgolf.org.

Florence, S.C. – Designed by Ellis Maples and openedin 1969, the Country Club of South Carolina has hostedits share of championships. Most recently the 2006Junior Championship, Four Ball Championship in 2004and the 2003 US Amateur Qualifier have been contendedthere. Now, CCSC is the stage and host course for the76th Annual South Carolina Golf Association’s Men’sAmateur Championship. The dates are August 2-5 andwill be played over the par 72 course that will measure7,085 yards for the 2007 Championship.
