Monk Atkinson

August 11-12, 2012

BEAA Country Club logoEighty-five golfers from both the North Georgia and North Alabama area competed this weekend in the 2012 Monk Atkinson golf tournament held annually at BEAA Country Club in Lindale, Ga.

The BEAA tournament committee members and sponsors once again put on a great and fun golf tournament including a BBQ lunch for the players after completion of Sunday’s round. The club's two-day individual stroke play tournament is a favorite of many golfers around the region and fills up each year.

This year seven golfers were able to finish under par for the tournament. The course played a little longer than normal due to recent heavy rain. But the weekend provided the players with great weather for golf—especially great for this year's winner Calhoun native Austin Henderson.

Henderson followed Saturday’s round of 70 (-2) with a tournament tying low 66 (-6) to finish at 136 (-8). Three strokes ahead of BEAA’s own Darrel Wise who was able to claim second after in a play-off over first round leader Jaylon Ellison.

Wise shot rounds of 69 (-3) and 70 (-2) for a total of 139 (-5) to force the playoff with Ellison who followed Saturday’s round of 66 (-6) with a 73 (+1) and total of 139 (-5).

Fourth place went to Mike Granato who shot rounds of 70 (-2) and 72 (E) for a total of 142 (-2.) One stroke ahead of Kevin Deems and Joedy McGraw who settled for a fifth place tie after both shot a weekend total 143 (-1).
