The Morrisville and Preston Progress, Wednesday, July 26,1995 - 7 Prestonwood Notebook Those ‘studs’ could play a little golf By Judy Cregen It wasn’t matching shirts or caps that pointed out Prestonwood pro Vance Heaftier’s foursome on pro-am day at the Nike Carolina Classic. Viewers had to look a bit closer to see the sticky earrings worn by David Dorsey and club members Stuart Welboume and David Russo. The object of their imitation h^jpened to be Greyson Quaries, CFO of SAS Institute and a PWCC member. The diamond stud regularly worn by Quaries in spired Heaftier’s teammates to follow suit, although the pro chose not to don a sticky stud himself. Not only did those sticky-studded "studs" look great, they could play a little golf, too, coming in at 20 under par for die day. In the classic itself, Heafner finished in a tie for 19th with an 1 l-under par 277, but he could have finished a notch higher if he hadn’t whiffed a shot on the second day. The swing and a miss came on the par-5 ninth hole when the toe of his club caught part of a tree. His tournament earnings totaled $2,150, some $500 less than he would have pock eted if you deduct the whiff. Mike Christie, whose victory at Prestonwood was his first on the Nike tour, credits at least part of his success to his caddy, Mike Mollet. After a poor start in the first round, Christie ad mitted his mind was on his recent breakup with his girlfriend. "Forget about your girlfriend; we’re playing golf,” Christie quoted Mollet as saying. Christie finished the tournament with a 22-under 266, the lowest total on the Nike tour this year and 10 strokes better than Skip Kendall’s winning score a year ago. The South Carolinian earned $36,000 for the victory which came on his 26th birthday. A handicap really isn't a handicap in golf. That was demonstrated again in the Prestonian member- guest golf tournament the weekend of July 14-16, which saw third flight and fifth flight entrants win the overall championship in their divisions based on a combined point and handicap system. Jerry Kingrey and Don Simpson, entered in the third flight, won their flight and posted the lowest overall score in the Shinnecock Division. A1 Rager and Bill Luksis, winners of the fifth flight, were champs in the St-. Andrews Division. Shinnecock Division flight winners included Chris Knott and Phillip King, first flight; Mike Rogers and Terry Huffman, second flight; Don Burnett and Jim Brown, fourth flight; and Howard Flerman and Joe Lee, fifth flight. St. Andrews Divi sion flight winners included Rick Hill and Mike Hill, first flight; Mark Mitchell and Van Murray, second flight; Mark Mitchum amd James Taylor, third flight; and David Wilson and Mike Castelani, fourth flight. The biggest splash of the summer for swim team coach Susan Barritt and husband Tom came June 27 with die birth of Kristen Sommer Barritt at Raleigh’s Rex Hospital. There were a couple of tense moments when the new arrival lost her blood oxygen supply, but Kristen soon was breathing normally. She weighed in at six pounds, five ounces. Susan certainly is equal to the task of being a first-time mom, having coached 179 children on the swim team. She guided the Prestonwood Piranhas to a 3-3 record in their first year in South Wake's Division One. In the late 1980$, when Danny Colangelo partici pated in the juniors tennis program at Raleigh Rac quet Club, bis instructor was Dan Weant, the tennis director at Pr^tonwood Country Club. Colangelo, now a rising senicff AD America tennis player at Elon CoDege, learned his lessons well. So weD, in fact, that he defeated Weant July 23 in the men’s single finals of the Chapel HiU Pro Invita tional at Chapel Hill Tennis Club. Weant feU in two sets, 6-3 and 6-2. Weant also reached the finals of the tournament’s round robin competition before he and Preston wood tennis pro Shane Wells fell, 4-6, 6-0 and 6-7 to Chapel Hill Country Club tennis pro Lindsey Benton and club member Max Hilkey. The 14-year- old Hilkey is the 15th ranked junior player in the country. The good times rolled at the Pairings Party and Auction, which kicked off the Nike CaroDna Clas sic at Prestonwood. The bids rolled off the tounge of Jerry Oates, Prestonwood’s own auctioneer who kept the June 20 auction lively enough to raise nearly $23,000 to benefit the Girls and Boys Clubs of North Carolina. Among Prestonwood members who participated, Donald Bernstein was the big donor of the evening, - giving several sets of custom-made clubs and a hand-crafted putter. The top bidder of the evening was Danny Jones, who sbeUed out $600 for a signed Arnold Palmer putter. When final totals are in, this year’s tournament contribution is expected to more than double last year’s total of $17,000. Yvette Shallcross and Jennifer Vrscak were model PWCC members as they handled themselves with style and grace in a fashion show held July 15 during the Prestonian. The large turnout enjoyed a light lunch of gour met fare creatively prepared by chef Ed Kaminsky, and then sat back to watch the parade of fashion presented by LeMontage clothing boutique. That was foDowed by a show of different hairstyles using a computer imaging technique demonstrated by Mitchell’s Hair Styling. "Kate Vaden" by Reynolds Price is the latest book featured by the Ladies Book Club. Price is James B. Duke Professor of English at Duke Uni versity.
