Bob Benser makes 25 foot putt on 17 and chips in on 18 to win his first event of 2016

Bob Benser who was SW Florida's first Player of the Year back in 2012 with 5 victories as struggled the past few years adjusting to being an active participant in his 80's. With slower swing speeds Bob has revamped his equipment and expectations. With a little help from an old friend who happens to be a PGA professional Bob has found his "new" game and is playing better then ever. 
However is was the Ice in Bobs veins that pulled him into victory on Sunday at Habiscus Golf Club this past Sunday. With the field making a run at Bobs lead late in the round Bob closed the door with a 25 foot putt on 17 and a chip in 0 putt from approx 20 feet. "Thank god i didnt know those putts meant anything" Bob said after the match. " If I did I would have three or four putt for sure" Benser added. 
Order of Merit- The SW Florida Tour earned its 2nd Exemption (Free entry into Nationals) this past Sunday. Currently Dan Anderson and Jeremy Walker are in 1st and 2nd on the points list to win the honors.

Dean Weber Wins 1st event of the year in Playoff over Achim Triebel

The true winner was Misty Creek CC in Sarasota, With its tight fairways, tricky greens, and beautiful weeping willows etching the course not to mention the 9 alligators on hole 9...hmmm. Misty Creek bit back after every par or birdied scored, allowing net 5 over to be the victor.
Early on it looked like Achim and Michael Harris where going to be the two to tame Misty Creek but the field caught a break when Michael Harris had to pull out after 9 due to last minute meeting he had to attend and Achim triple bogied the the 9th hole. 

By the 14th hole it became a four way race between Dean Weber, James Stockman, Milton Harshman and Achim Triebel.  Milton fell off the lead with two bad holes and after 17 Achim had a one stroke lead over Dean. However Achim recorded a double bogie to Deans bogie forcing a playoff. Dean birdied the first hole playoff hole to secure his first victory.
Order of Merit- Dan Anderson still leads on the order of Merit. Achim moved into 5th place with his 2nd place finish
