Charlie Parks of Asheboro, N.C. and Doug Owens of Albemarle, N.C. captured the 9th Carolinas Super Senior Four-Ball Championship after a 15-under-par, 129 total finish. The newly minted CGA champions climbed from a tie for third to the top of the leaderboard after tying the low round of the week at 9-under-par, 63 in the final round. 

 

Parks birdied two out of the first three holes and then Owens birdied four out of the next five to make the turn at 6-under-par on the day, which was also their total score for round one. 

 

“I was looking at the scores and I saw that we had gone into first place. So I asked Doug (Owens) if he wanted to know and he said no,” said Parks. “He was playing so well, there was no way I was going to tell him.” 

 

Parks and Owens birdied Nos. 11, 12 and 16 on the back to take the lead by three strokes heading down the stretch. However in the group behind them, Paul Simson and Don Detweiler of Raleigh, N.C. made a big move with an eagle on No. 16. 

 

“We had a good lead, but any time you have Paul (Simson) behind you, you’re looking over your shoulder,” said Parks. “On No. 16 we birdied it to lead by three and then I looked at my phone on 17 tee to see that Paul (Simson) and Don (Detweiler) eagled it so we were back to a one shot lead.”

 

The long-time four-ball partners managed two strong pars on their way in to keep the lead and eventually take the title. This is both Parks’ and Owens’ first CGA championship title. As Owens remarked, “our partnership just works out really well.”

 

Two-time Carolinas Super Senior Four-Ball Champions, Simson and Detweiler finished just one shot behind Parks and Owens at 14-under-par, 130 overall to claim runners-up.

 

Cliff Seastrunk and Lennie Barton of Raleigh, N.C. claimed solo third at 11-under-par, 133 total. Round one leaders, Bob Edens of Moncks Corner, S.C. and Steve Horton of Columbia, S.C. finished in fourth at 9-under-par, 135 overall. 

 

70+ Division round one leaders, Robert Desjardins of Matthews, N.C. and William Boles of Wilson, N.C. claimed victory at 13-under-par, 131 total. They also tied the low round of the championship finishing 9-under-par, 63 today in the final round. 

 

Desjardins and Boles have been four-ball partners for over 17 years and this win is very special to them. “These CGA events keep us engaged with golf,” said Boles. “At 72 years old it’s easy to just walk away from it, but these events have kept us motivated to keep playing.” Desjardins added, “This is a big deal for us. It really is.”

 

Ernie Newton of Winston-Salem, N.C. and Larry Boswell of High Point, N.C. are the 70+ Division runners-up at 6-under-par, 138 total. Just one stroke behind them is a two-way tie for third at 5-under-par, 137 overall. Bob Rickman of Orangeburg, S.C. and Bob Varn of Florence, S.C. as well as Jerry Hartsell of Matthews, N.C. and Vardaman Banks of Midland, N.C. tied for third.


The CGA would like to extend a thank you to the members and staff of Mount Vintage Golf Club, specifically to General Manager, David Usry and Greens Superintendent, Ben Amerson for their hospitality in hosting the 9th Carolinas Super Senior Four-Ball Championship. We would also like to thank the players and spectators for their understanding and adherence to the new COVID-19 tournament protocols.
