Helping Hurricane Victims
Please Read
Many of you have asked how you can offer your support following hurricanes Harvey and Irma. At this time, the best way to help is to donate to the PGA Disaster Relief fund. Those affected by these storms are suffering irreparable damage and devastation and will be for weeks. Please consider a donation to this fund as thousands work to get back on their feet. Every bit counts.
TOURNAMENT UPDATE
CPGA PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP POSTPONED
Thankfully for our region, Hurricane Irma tracked to the west. However, Hilton Head Island was still evacuated, and major storm surge came in. Below is a picture of Harbour Town Golf Links’ par-3 #17. The green was completely submerged.
As a result, The Sea Pines Resort will not be able to host the Section Professional Championship this year. The CPGA staff and Tournament Committee will be reviewing options for rescheduling on different dates at another location. When a new site is found, we will immediately inform the field and the Section.
For those of you who set up accommodations with The Sea Pines Resort, you should be able to cancel your reservations without penalty starting tomorrow. They are still working to get their staff and phone lines operational.
We thank the team at The Sea Pines Resort for their support and appreciate everyone’s patience during this process.

Skirpstas Takes Win at National Car Rental CPGA Assistant Championship
Presented by Srixon/Cleveland/XXIO
 |
PGA Apprentice Peter Skirpstas of Jacksonville Country Club is the champion of the National Car Rental Carolinas Assistant PGA Professional Championship presented by Srixon/Cleveland/XXIO conducted at Prestonwood Country Club located in Cary, NC.
Skirpstas, the low professional at the Carolinas PGA’s 2017 North and South Carolina Opens began his second round two strokes behind the leader, Ray Franz of Daniel Island Club (-4). Both players began their rounds on the hardest starting hole of the PGA Champions Tour, the Highlands Course’s number one hole. The weather conditions did not make it any easier. However, up to 10 mph winds and constant drizzle did not stop Skirpstas from firing 33-34= 67 (-5) and winning the event with a cumulative score of 137 (-7). Franz finished with a day two score of 35-35=70 (-2) and a total 138 (-6).
Skirpstas and four other Carolinas PGA Professionals qualified for the 41st National Car Rental Assistant PGA Professional Championship to take place November 9-12 at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, FL. Those advancing along with the champion include: Ray Franz of Daniel Island Club (-6), Aaron Black of Edgewater Golf Club (-2), Savio Nazareth of Starmount Forest Country Club (-1), and Tommy Gibson of Old Town Club (E).
In addition to the five players with secured positions, four alternates for the national competition were determined.
