| Golf report: Cink aims for Tour Championship spot Posted: 08 Sep 2010 09:41 AM PDT For the AJC Duluth's Stewart Cink, who was named to his fifth Ryder Cup team on Tuesday, has placed himself in position to again qualify for the Tour Championship. Cink starts the third round of the playoffs at No. 35, five spots outside of the top 30 that qualify for the FedEx Cup finale at Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club on Sept. 23-26. Cink began the playoffs in 54th place and has moved up each week thanks to a tie for 15th at The Barclays and a tie for 18th at the Deutsche Bank Championship, the first two FedEx Cup playoff events. He begins the final week only 113 points out of the playoffs. Kris Blanks of Warner Robins nearly played his way into this week's BMW Championship. Blanks moved up 20 places by virtue of his tie for 22nd at the Deutsche Bank Championship, but was the odd man out at No. 71. Only the top 70 advanced to the third round of the playoffs. Blanks was doomed by missing the cut at The Barclays. Other Georgians eliminated were Charles Howell III, Ryuji Imada, Davis Love III, Troy Matteson and Blake Adams. Georgia PGA Pinetree County Club in Kennesaw and the local golf community were stunned by the unexpected death of popular PGA professional Daryll Speegle. He began to feel ill on Sept. 2 and went home, where he suffered a heart attack and died on the way to the hospital. Speegle, 57, had been a member of the PGA of America since 1975. He won the 1989 Atlanta Open, but may have been best known as an instructor, having worked with Senior PGA Tour player Gibby Gilbert and 2008 Georgia player of the year Mark Strickland. ... Craig Stevens, a PGA teaching professional at Steel Canyon Golf Club in Sandy Springs, won the Georgia PGA Section Championship at Sea Island's Retreat Course. Stevens, who also won the title in 2001, finished at 8-under 208 and beat 2005 champion Tim Weinhart of St. Marlo Golf Club in Duluth by three strokes. Stephen Keppler of Marietta Country Club and Jeff Hull of the University of Georgia Golf Course in Athens tied for third at 4-under. Nationwide Tour Former Georgia star Kevin Kisner rallied to win the Mylan Classic, his first victory on the Nationwide Tour, and came closer to clinching his 2011 PGA Tour card. Kisner shot a bogey-free 67 in the final round, earned $108,000 and jumped to No. 14 on the money list. The top 25 earn automatic exemptions on the PGA Tour. Kisner's victory came the week after former Bulldog teammate Chris Kirk won in Knoxville. They became the first players from the same school to win in consecutive weeks since Franklin Langham and Ryuji Imada, two other Bulldogs, did it in 2004. Etc.

| Golf classic raises more than $6,000 Posted: 08 Sep 2010 12:12 PM PDT FAYETTEVILLE -- The first Lee Crawford Memorial Golf Classic on Aug. 11 at Penn National Golf Course in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, raised more than $6,000. Proceeds went to Summit Health, a non-profit organization dedicated to building a healthier community through leading-edge medical technology, skilled physicians, caring staff and throughout Franklin County. Tournament foursome Dennis Zimmerman, Ted Zimmerman, Bill Klimkiewicz and Don Eberly won the tournament with a score of 59. The pre-tournament luncheon was attended by players, friends and family of Lee Crawford, including his mother and sisters. Wells Fargo Advisors sponsored the first memorial tournament that honored their former colleague and financial advisor, Claude LeRoy "Lee" Crawford, Jr., who died in May 2009. Numerous businesses helped sponsor the event. Because of its success, the second such event is scheduled for Aug. 10, 2011, at Penn National.

| Golf outing to benefit special recreation Posted: 07 Sep 2010 01:17 PM PDT September 7, 2010 A golf outing is scheduled later this month to benefit central Lake County residents with special needs. Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County Superintendent Carolyn Chambers said about $10,000 was raised during the golf outing last year. Chambers hopes to raise about $15,000 during the Sept. 23 golf outing at Steeple Chase Golf Club, 200 N. La Vista Drive, Mundelein, but she acknowledged the current economic situation makes that goal challenging. The Special Recreation Association was formed in 1976 and is a cooperative of seven member agencies, Chambers said. Those agencies are the Grayslake Community Park District; the villages of Hawthorn Woods, Lake Zurich, Libertyville and Lincolnshire; the Mundelein Park and Recreation District; and the Vernon Hills Park District. "We offer recreation services to individuals with special needs and disabilities," she said. "Basically we do things like the park districts do except our clients are people with special needs and their families." The association's activities include day camp, Special Olympics sports, after-school programs, weekly programs, special events and outings. Chambers said the association offers programs to people ranging from 3 years old to senior citizens with Alzheimer's disease. For more information on the Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County or the golf outing, go online to www.sraclc.org or call (847) 816-4866.
