The final round of the championship flight will be played this afternoon.

While the championship flight is using a stroke play format, the other flights are using a Stableford format. Under the Stableford format, points are assigned for scores on each hole (birdies, eagles and double eagles earn points, while bogeys, double bogeys and worse scores earn negative points). In the Jack Oliver, a pre-determined number (based on a player’s handicap) is subtracted from the player’s score after their round.

John Lastinger leads the first flight with a score of plus-5. John Alday is second at plus-3, followed by Brad Folsom at plus-2 and Thompson Kurrie at plus-1.

Britt Baxter leads the second flight at plus-6. Dale Parker is second at plus-3, while Michael Denham and Ferrell Scruggs are tied for third at plus-1.

Mike Drumheller III leads the third flight, after earning a plus-6. Greg Hunter has a plus-1, Byron Courson’s score is zero and Ryan Hancock and David Sule are tied for fourth at minus-1.

Royce Coleman has the fourth flight lead at plus-5. Tommy Hobby is close behind at plus-4 and Daniel Knight has a plus-3. Barry Chapman and Brad Adams are tied for fourth at minus-1.
