Three Teams Tie for First in 2021 Philadelphia PGA Spring Meeting Golf Event

Springfield, Pa. (March 29, 2021) — Three teams tied for first place in the 2021 Philadelphia PGA Spring Meeting Golf Event at Rolling Green G.C. on a cool and blustery spring day.

The winning teams each finished with scores of 63, 8-under-par, and included PGA Professionals Will Scarborough and Jesse Williams, both representing the Peninsula G. & C.C.; Bob Hennefer, Laurel Creek C.C, and Curtis Kirkpatrick, Indian Spring C.C.; and Michael Little, Lookaway G.C., and Dave Quinn, Laurel Creek C.C.

Historically, the two-professional scramble event is held in conjunction with the Philadelphia PGA Section’s in-person Spring Membership Meeting. However, in order to conduct the meeting in a responsible fashion, the Section optioned the business meeting to a virtual format for 2021, scheduled for April 7 at 6:00 p.m. PGA Professionals may register for the virtual Spring Meeting by clicking here.

While the business meeting will take place next month, the Section still provided a playing and networking opportunity for its members, with the golf event held at Rolling Green. Each winning team finished with a flurry of birdies and eagles, with Scarborough / Williams eagling both Nos. 17 and 18, Hennefer / Kirkpatrick birdieing each of their last four holes, and Little / Quinn birdieing Nos. 15-17 and eagling No. 18.

The PGA Professional teams of Brian Kelly, Bucknell G.C., and John Pillar, C.C. of Woodloch Springs; Brian Bergstol, Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort, and Joe Kogelman, GOLFTEC – Moorestown; and Dustin Wallis, Dustin Wallis Golf and Steve Swartz, West Shore C.C.; each finished tied for fourth place, one stroke behind the winning teams.
