New on the market: Scheyden Eyewear's Revelry Composite Hybrid sunglasses.

The scoop: Players on both the PGA and LPGA tours realize that reducing glare on the golf course helps in efforts to read putts and make better contact with the ball. Scheyden Eyewear's new Revelry Composite Hybrid sunglasses are designed to vastly reduce the amount of glare golfers experiene while giving them a comfortable fit as well. Designed as a smaller version of the extremely popular Revelstoke model, the Revelry Composite Hybrid fuses a cedar rolled composite frame with flexible, hypoallergenic NiAg temples and cloisonné tips for total comfort, even when wearing a hat, headphones or a headset. Featuring the only full-coverage wrap design offering a unique custom-fit, the unisex collection is available in either gloss black or Havana tortoise-shell and includes two additional styles — Jet-A and Panorama. The full-coverage frames can be fitted with either glass or CR-39 lenses, which are created using Scheyden's advanced multi-layer process. Hand-ground and polished, they feature a hydrophobic coating to repel water and perspiration, and several layers of magnesium hexafluoride to diffuse ambient light and protect pupils from harsh reflections. The distortion-free lenses also include a scratch resistant finish and optional polarization. Scheyden eyewear is ideal for precision activities. In addition to the Composite Hybrids, the company's product line includes the titanium-frame Fixed Gear collection, Classic FlipUp styles and Dual RX designs for prescription users.

What they cost: The new Revelry Composite Hybrid glasses are available now. Prices range from $259 to $309.

An annual golf tournament that raises money for Cumberland County Crime Stoppers will focus this year on the memory of a Silver Spring Township police officer who was killed in 1975.

Jack Cole founded the Willis J. Cole Memorial Golf Classic in 2008 to aid Crime Stoppers and honor his nephew, Willis Cole, a New Cumberland police officer who was shot and killed in 1994. Jack Cole pledged to honor a fallen local officer every year of the tournament.

This year's classic on Aug. 27 at Armitage Golf Course in Hampden Township will memorialize Cpl. Paul Walters, who was hit and killed by a vehicle while on duty in January 1975.

Cost for the classic is $68 per golfer, and a picnic dinner is offered for $16. Checks can be made to Jack Cole, 117 Bunker Hill Road, New Cumberland, PA 17070. Prize donors also are being sought. For information, call 717-774-0703.

Local Golf notebook: Texas Golf Hall readies for revival

Posted: 13 Jul 2010 10:48 PM PDT

The Texas Golf Hall of Fame will hold its first induction ceremony in almost 15 years on Oct. 25 at Brackenridge Park in San Antonio.

The Texas Golf Hall of Fame was housed at Texas National Golf Club in Willis in 1978 and the Tournament Players Course in The Woodlands in mid-1980s.

It officially closed in 2001.

"We are very proud to bring back the Texas Golf Hall of Fame," said Reid Meyers, who was named the Texas Golf Hall of Fame executive director in November of 2009. "We are going to open as the fourth largest golf museum in the country."

Brackenridge Park is the new home of the Hall of Fame. It features a new clubhouse, pavilion, outdoor terraces and the "Texas Golf Walk of Fame."

"The Walk of Fame will include plaques, statues, artifacts and cases of artifacts," Meyers said. "We have a lot of stuff (in storage from The Woodlands) that we just don't know what to do with yet."

Meyers said Ben Crenshaw, Kathy Whitworth, Judy Rankin and either John Mahaffey or Lee Trevino will be on the selection committee for the Texas Golf Hall of Fame.

Meyers said the top 30 vote getters will have a chance to be inducted in October.

"We will probably nominate 12," he said.

"We will just see how many actually get in from there. We have a great history of Texas golfers (in the Texas Golf Hall of Fame)."

Cantu second in AJGA

If Christina Cantu continues her current pace, she could be the next phenom on the LPGA Tour.

The Houstonian, who has signed with Seton Hall, fired rounds of 71-74-73-218 to finish second in the American Junior Golf Association Nebraska Junior Championships at Quarry Oaks in Ashland, Neb.

The second-place finish was Cantu's second straight top-10 finish on the AJGA circuit.

Rumoras team up for win

The tandem of Craig and Jordan Rumora brought Miramont Country Club to its knees during the final round of the 54-hole State Father-Son Golf Championship in Bryan.

The Houston-area duo fired a 17-under-par 271 to win the three-day event by 12 shots.

Craig Rumora shot 74 over the final round, while Jordan carded an impressive 4-under 68 to give the team a total of 2-under 142 and the easy 12-shot win.

Jordan played high school golf at Cy-Fair and is now a sophomore at the University of Houston.

The Woodlands' Juan Jose Salcedo and Juan Salcedo were third at 284. The Sugar Land twosome of Steve and Brett Gill tied for seventh at 290. John and Ryan Beatty of Montgomery were 10th at 295.

HGA fundraiser July 29

The Houston Golf Association's Junior Golf Program will conduct a fundraising outing on July 29 at The Clubs of Kingwood Lake Course.

The event will be a junior am with one junior playing his or her own ball and three adult amateur partners playing a shamble format. Entry fee is $50 for juniors and $75 for adults.

In addition, the HGA will award points to the top five Performance Series junior boys and top three Performance Series junior girls in each age group.

Patrick scores two wins

Katharine Patrick of West University recently won back-to-back Performance Series events on the HGA junior circuit.

Patrick won the girls 13-15 titles at Moody Gardens in Galveston (82-85-167) and at Pine Forest (82-78-160).
