Justin Peters Plays Masterfully, Again.
Monday October 1, 2007
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. Justin Peters of
Plantation birdied the first three holes
to post the only under par round of the
day. His three under par 69 on
Monday at The Club at Emerald Hills was
his eighth win on the Minor League Golf
Tour. In his previous win, Justin
shot a blistering first round 62 on the
Breakers Rees Jones Course.
The start of play was delayed for almost
three hours by (according to weather.com)
an upper-air disturbance, a stationary
front, and a weak surface low in the
northwest Bahamas combining to deliver
wet, windy weather to south Florida.
Contestants were allowed to withdraw
without forfeiting entry fees because of
the potential looming weather and soggy
playing conditions. Seventeen of
the original thirty-six players decided
to stay and tee it up in the event
appropriately renamed "The Emerald Hills
Iron Man Open."
After his fast start, Peters added bogeys
at Nos. 6, 9 and 13 and birdies at the
seventh, 15 and 18th holes. He
finished three strokes ahead of runner-up
Adam Adams of Coconut Creek and earned
$500 from the $1,815 purse.
Walter Blum, Jr. finished solo third and
Kyle Hammond placed fourth in his first
event as a professional.
The mixture of strong winds, hard rain,
wet conditions and determined players
resulted in a unique day of learning and
camaraderie we will all remember.

Course Record 62!
Saturday August 25, 2007
WEST
PALM BEACH, Fla. Justin Peters of
Plantation, Fla. set a course record on
Friday at The Breakers Rees Jones Course
during the first round of the 36 hole MLGT
Major. His 62 included 10 birdies and 8
pars and eclipsed the old mark of 64 by two
shots.
Because of routine aeration maintenance, the
event was played with a local rule allowing
players to lift, clean and place their ball
in closely mown areas. Danny St. Louis,
the Director of Golf, kept Justin's original
scorecard as a memento of the tremendous
round.
Bobby Collins fired a second round 66 to
finish solo 2nd and Shawn Hall followed up
his even par 72 with a 69 on Saturday.
Weather was a factor both days. Friday
afternoon five groups had a one hour delay
and on Saturday, storms formed a 180 degree
half circle around the course, causing
conditions to continuously deteriorate
throughout the afternoon. Ten players
from the middle of the pack were able to
improve upon their first round score, while
none of the nine players in the final three
groups scored better in the final round.

Monday August 27, 2007
JUPITER, Fla. Bobby Collins of Palm Beach
Gardens birdied the first two playoff holes
Monday at Abacoa Golf Club to outlast Brent
Pittman of Jupiter for his first Minor League
Golf Tour victory.
Collins, playing in the second group, posted
five under par 67 on the course playing its

leader-board on the 17th hole, Pittman knew
he needed to birdie 18 to force a playoff.
Overall, Collins made eight birdies and three
bogeys, Pittman an eagle, four birdies and a
bogey.
The playoff started on the par-5 tenth hole.
Both players hit the green in two, with
Collins about 40 feet and Pittman about 20
feet. After Collins left his eagle
attempt a few feet short, Pittman came within
a couple inches of ending it. On the
drive-able 288 yard par-4 eleventh hole both
players chose the safe play, teeing off with
and iron in regulation and the playoff.
Pittman hit his approach next to the hole and
it spun 20 feet back to the fringe.
Collins hit his shot past the hole and it
spun back to within a few feet.
Collins earned $750 from the $4,100 purse.
Pittman, the runner-up among 41 starters,
