Porter Cup 2013: The Locals and Photo Gallery 3

Took a cold shower this morning…of Porter Cup reality. I figured out that Buff Ringer shot 72-65-70-70=277, to finish solo 16th at the 2013 Porter Cup. If you visit the official scoreboard for the tournament, you won’t find Buff Ringer listed. That’s...

Final Round Photo Gallery Take 2

I know that Jay Skurski doesn’t write headlines for his Buffalo News stories. I know that because he would never take credit for today’s header. “Pendrith sings in the rain to win Porter Cup.” Not since Jimmy Demaret and Don Cherry have any...

Porter Cup Summary and Saturday Photo Gallery 1

Weather Review: To paraphrase the great Seve, “it sunny, it sunny, it sunny, it rainy (but only just a little bit.)” 3.5 days of clear, dry skies and one afternoon of manageable precipitation equals a win for the tournament brass. Par-Breaker Review:...

Clubhead Speed

Porter Cup Day Three: Things You Think I Don’t Know

Friday was moving day for a number of golfers all across the Niagara Falls country club. The week’s low of 64 (Justin Shin, round one) was eclipsed by two golfers and 28 golfers (one-third of the field) broke par. That, friends, is just the beginning of what...

WNY PGA Junior Tour @ Peek’n Peak

Danny Weimer went fireworks-crazy at Peek’n Peak’s lower course, firing a 67 for low round of the Tour thus far, in any division. Weimer’s five-under par effort earned a him a five-stroke victory in the 16-18 division. Other bracket winners in...

Porter Cup 2013: One More Thursday Gallery

The good thing about a big lead is desperation. Every golfer in the field senses the need to go low and some pretty amazing scores result. The good thing about a tightly-packed leader board is inclusion. The tournament field believes that “it” has a...

Matthew Stasiak Adds NYS Amateur To Erie County Title

When all hope was lost, the golf gods reversed themselves. Matt Stasiak of Fox Valley Club was four under par for the day on the 17th tee. He walked off the penultimate green two under, having double-bogied the 395 yard hole. Victor Fox had led the tournament since...

Thursday Photo Gallery Part Two @ Porter Cup

65s ruled the roost on day two, four of them in fact. Five-under par over 18 holes makes a lot of first-round pain go away. In the case of Tyler Dunlap, it moved him from a tie for second to the halfway lead. Tyler Dunlap — T2 to 1 Brady Watt — T16 to 5...

Thursday Morning Photo Gallery @ The Porter Cup

Beau Hossler took a run at the top spot early, following his opening 65 with a solid 68, to stand at -7 through two rounds. First-round leader Justin Shin decided that he liked first place and he kept a grip on it, backing up his 64 with a three-under 67 to take a...
