It seems the deputies and civilian employees of the Okalooss County Sheriff's Office face greater and greater demands for service with each passing month. Everyone who lives in North Okaloosa County knows the reason rapid growth But from child abuse cases to cracking down on aggressive drivers - from walking the halls of area schools to putting together fundrisers for the Shelter House the men and women of our department have continually shown : ;dadi- cation to protect their neighbors, their communities, and our thousands of visitors as well. Deputy Harold-Mason has been a great addition to the traffic enforcement unit in the north end. Investigator Ralph Garrett of Crestview recently earned statewide recognition for his work on child exploita- tion oases. In faet, there are oenotless examples in 2006 of our deputies giving their all to keep Okaloos County a great and safe pleoe to live. In 2007, I will continue to work to meet the growing demands for law enforce- ment services caused by growth. I also look forward to working closely with new Crestview Police Chief Brian Mitchell. In addition, our Crime Prevention Unit is hoping to build on a program called "Seniors Helping Seniors" which has vol- unteers in North Okaloose County checking in on elderly residents who live alone. There will also be a new local initiative kicked off soon that will allow law enforcement agencies and the public to keep better track of where sexual offend- ers and predators live. And stay tuned for more efforts to constantly improve our service. I hope each aird every one of you has a safe and prosperous New Year. And please remember, Don't Drink and Drivel Sincerely, Sheriff Charlie Morris r-!. IL L J.L CPD works Steve Andrews/The News Bulletin Cody Barnhill, a 10-year-old Baker fourth-grader, catches air off the newly redesigned motorcross track at Oak Grove Motorsports Park, north of Crestview and Baker. The track's new owners, David Barnhill (standing, left) and Kevin King have spent the past month working on the one-mile track and plan to open the facility to the public, beginning on Jan. 21. New motocross track stirring excitement with local riders Steve Andrews Managing Editor What has been in the works for nearly a year is finally coming to fruition for two local men looking to boost interest in motocross rid- ing in north Okaloosa County. In one of the country's fastest- growing recreational sports, dirt- biking enthusiasts from around the region will now be able to fly high without traveling a long distance. Crestview resident Kevin King and Baker resident David Barnhill' have been spending all of their spare time over the last few weeks putting the finishing touches on the redesigned track at Oak Grove Motorsports Park, north of Crestview. The facility sits on 40.6 acres owned by David Atkisson, adja- cent to an established go-cart track, about a mile south of Highway 2. "We have been talking about it for about a year," said King, owner of Second Generation Contracting. "The more we talked about it, the more the word spread, and the more it seemed like people really liked the idea." King and Barnhill signed a 10- year lease for the property and established the Southern Motorsports Association. They brought in renowned dirt track builder Greg Cole, of Southern Dirt Design in Montgomery, Ala., to design and construct the new one-mile track. Cole spent four days on a bulldoz- er laying the overall foundation. "Then David and myself got on the bulldozer-and have been kind of fine-tuning everything," King said. "We have changed some of the things out here, because we both ride and we both knew what we wanted." The facility, complete with a dust-control sprinkler system on the entire track, is scheduled to open for the public on Jan. 20. "If you've got a motorcycle, we don't care how old you are or how young you are, this a place to come out and ride it," King said. "And its a plaice to learn." The track includes a pair of 60- foot table-top jumps, a pair of 60- foot double jumps and an 85-foot triple at the finish line. "We've also got a 98-foot triple jump included for the brave ones," King said with a chuckle. "For the real advanced riders it probably takes about two minutes to ride one lap." The facility itself will also include restrooms for men and women, showers, bleachers and a concession stand. There will also be a go-cart track that can be used for four-wheelers, a pit-bike track and a pee-wee track. Plans are also in the works to install lights for night riding. The track will open to boys, girls, men and women of all ages, and of all skill levels. It will be open on Saturdays and Sundays See DIRT, page 2 an 'A-0K' program M The Crestview Police Department's R.U.O.K. senior services program keeps older residents connected for safety. Adam Ziglar Crestview News Bulletin What rose from the smoldering ruins of a blown computer has turned into a program that con- nects senior adults with friendly dispatchers and police officers. The Crestview Police Department's R.U.O.K. program started in 2002 as a way to have daily checkups on the community's elderly citizens. The'police depart- ment purchased a computer that would call the seniors at an assigned time. If the person didn't answer, the machine would then contact a police officer, who would respond to the home and make sure they were OK. As fate would have it, however, the machine was too impersonal. Conversation with a machine was a bit awkward, so one day the machine died. "The computer blew up, so we had to start calling the people on our list," said Jodie Hooper, who works as a police dispatcher. Hooper and the other women who work at the city's dispatch "nook" at the Public Safety build- ing run down the same list every morning. With 13 names that seldom change, the list is nearly unneces- sary. Dispatchers have been calling the same citizens every morning for the past few years. They've built relationships with each per- son and when the occasional elder- ly citizen dies, it takes a while for them to dry their eyes. They find themselves naturally calling num- bers and no one is waiting on the other end. "It's hard. You really build a relationship with them," said dis- patcher Julee Breen. Along with nearly a dozen glowing computer screens and a muted television with revolving doses of cooking and talk shows, Christmas cards dangle from desk- tops and cabinets.

This gift to the community was the last official act that the volunteer organization's board of directors performed before disbanding on May 3, 2004. "We began working on the sign project in May of 2004," said NOSAR board member Grace Ferdon. "It has taken this long for the FDOT to approve the design and the permitting process." The four beautiful stone monuments, one on each side of State Road 85 as it enters the city limits from the north and the south, and one on each side of U.S. Hwy 90 as it enters the city limits from the east and west, add a notice- able touch of class to the city's main gateways. For Ferdon the signs are more than just a beautifica- tion project. They serve as a lasting memorial to her late husband, Willie Ferdon, one of the founding members of the NOSAR. "Willie worked so hard to help get the organization going and it meant an awful lot to him. I really wanted to do something through the NOSAR group to recognize his hard work and all of the others that served the com- munity through the NOSAR before it disbanded," said Ferdon. Formed on Aug. 6, 1992, and officially chartered by the State of Florida on Oct. 7, 1992, the NOSAR served the community as a highly moti- vated group of volunteers trained in all aspects of land and water search and rescue techniques. They assisted local law enforcement and other agen- cies during searches resulting These new Crestview welcome signs have recently been approved by the Florida Departnient of Transportation. The signs were donated to the city by the North Okaloosa Search and Rescue group before they disbanded in 2004.

The organization also provided needed communications, dis- aster damage assessment and other assistance in and between local disaster shel- ters and the counties Emergency Operations Command Center before, during and after hurricanes. They also monitored, report- ed, and kept records on the local rivers) water levels during and after periods of heavy rainfall. During its 12-year exis- tence the group was recog- nized throughout the pan- handle for its specialized skills. NOSAR was often called on by not only Okaloosa County emergency management services, but also those of Walton, Santa Rosa, and Escambia counties. The group held various fund raising events each year to help purchase the expen- sive high tech communica- tion and rescue equipment needed to perform their tasks. "During the 12 years while NOSAR operated, we never failed to respond as needed," said NOSAR president Larry Laurel Hill park impro J Fast Reliable Computer is your Reward Flat Rate Virus and spyware Removal! teu Fast Reliable Service, Veteran Owne 682-4665 OR VISIT Us AT 432 N. MAIN STREET Adam Ziglar Crestview News Bulletin Park director says new dugouts are a small glimpse of possible improvements to the park. LAUREL HILL After a successful first season of t- ball, Laurel Hill Park Director Johnny James con- tinues to improve the city's park, which has been neglected for several years. James's most recent efforts have paid off in big divi- dends. After a number of donations, including $500 from the Crestview Wal- Mart, James is building dugouts for the park's t-ball field. "We started doing things about two years ago to have something for kids to do," said James, a volunteer, who has organized t-ball and bas- ketball programs for the small municipality in the northern corner of Okaloosa County. James, who works at Wooley. "During the last year of ops our membership kept getting smaller. When we reached a point where we didn't have enough members to operate we decided to dis- band." Wooley said that when the board held its final meeting in May of 2004, the idea of the welcome signs was raised. "At our last meeting I sug- gested giving our mobile command van and radios to the Crestview Police Department and all other equipment to the local volun- teer fire departments," con- tinued Wolley. "I suggested that because the money had been raised through the com- munity that it should go back to the community in some lasting meaningful way. For something that people could remember NOSAR for, such as greeting signs to be locat- ed at the city limit lines on both Highways 85 and 90, north and south." It was then that the deci- sion to erect new welcome signs for the city came about. At the time NOSAR had $6,595.14 in its coffers. "It was a unanimous vote," said Wooley, also a; ves through Wal-Mart donate iouu to me itwy OT Laure l rillm o DuiU baseball dugouts at its park.

"We've been working hard to get some things done for these kids," said James, who has two kids who graduated Laurel Hill School and went on to earn college degrees. "If they don't have anything to do, they think about bad things to do. That's my inten- tion to have something fun for kids to do. That's what I'm all about." In addition to the dugouts, the city hopes to raise money for outdoor founding member. "At the time it seemed like a very simple solution," said Ferdon. "We had no idea the amount of red tape that the FDOT was going to attach to the project. Nothing can be permanently placed in the FDOT right-of-way without the proper permitting. The FDOT has very specific regu- lations as to the design, con- struction materials used and colors allowed of any perma- nent signs." In May 2004, the NOSAR took their original design idea to Landmark Engineering in Pensacola to assist with the design specifi- cations and to file the permit with FDOT. It wasn't until August of :'2005 that : the FDOT approved the engi- neering design, "I got so frustrated that there were times when I just wanted to give up the whole idea," said Ferdon. "But we stuck it out and were very pleased with the final results. They look great and add a lot of class to our city's entrance ways." Local company Signs Galore was hired to build and erect the signs. The project still has one final touch to be added. The Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce has offered to provide some landscaping at each site. "The chamber is excited and proud to be a part of this beautification project," said Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce Director Wayne Harris. "The chamber logo is on each of the signs, and like the new signs, our logo rep- resents growth, prosperity, and a great future for the city." Harris added that the landscaping project will com- mence sometime soon, after the first of the year. A Web site with pho- tographs dedicated to the memories of the NOSAR can be reached at www.wool- ,cp ',net/spgar,^ i h IPI donations lighting. And James contin- ues to patch the cracks and jagged seams of the park's derelict basketball court. But right now, his main priority is getting the dugouts ready for t-ball .sW son. Season registrationA- expected to kick off in March, James said. Last year, 18 Laurel Hill children participated in the league, making up two teams that played each other every other weekend. This upcoming season, James hopes more kids will partici- pate. He also hopes to join the Dixie League, and host games for teams from neigh- boring cities like Paxton and Crestview. The dugouts, he said, are one step closer to making that a reality. "I'm trying to let people know what's going on in Laurel Hill," he said. "We just want to get some things going for the kids. The park has been sitting here for so long with little to no activi- ty."

According to EMS person- nel, the patient had chest injuries from an automobile accident. The unidentified male had overturned his semi truck near mile marker 64 on Interstate 10 at approx- imately 6 a.m. Friday morn- ing. A-OK, from page 1 shows streams of thanks. Then there's the list that's taped to a cabinet door near Hooper's desk. The residents' names are there. Their tele- phone numbers and address- es are also on there. And the call times are also written next to each name. The residents expect their daily call. One morning, a 5 a.m. emergency tied up phone lines and the dispatch- ers were not able to call Gladys Garrett. She expects a prompt 5 a.m. call. "She called every shift that day to let us know that we forgot to call her," said dis- patcher Tara Horton, laugh- ing about the incident. Garrett, who recently returned home from the hos- pital from one of a number of ailments, is always thankful for the phone call. , Speaking in a high, little voice, Garrett talked about From staff reports The precautionary boil water notice issued by the City of Crestview on Dec. 27 has been lifted. iAJVtA obgical tests ha1 D[en- lmEed, ,an4 Hospital personnel redi- rected the ambulance to Twin Cities Hospital in Niceville. There, hospital personnel could not release the man's name or status. Officials at North Okaloosa Medical Center said the issue arose because the hospital did not have room for additional emer- gency room patients. "It wasn't a staffing issue. It was an overflow issue," hospital Marketing Director Kim Willis said Friday when asked if the emergency room was properly staffed during the late hours Thursday night and early Friday morning. Willis said staffing was not the dispatchers, and the police officers who check on her, like they're family. She was the first senior to sign up for the program. "They knocked on my. front door and told me that they had a good thing going,"' she said, promoting the pro- gram. While the other residents on the call list have asked to be called between 7 and 8 a.m., Garrett prefers to be called at 5 a.m. "In the spring and summer months the sun's way up yonder by that time," she cooed in a damp Southern drawl. "If you have any thing to do, you want to do it early." Currently, there are 13 peo- ple on the dispatchers' call list. Some of the residents live in city public housing. "We have keys to some res- idents' homes," said fire dis- the samples show no evi- dence of contamination and the water is safe to con- sume.

According to the hospital's Web site, the hospital has 110 licensed beds; there are 15 beds in the emergency room, Willis said. "This is not a common occurrence," she said. "We've never had an overflow like this." According to Willis, the hospital underwent an emer- gency "bypass." In two separate instances, including Friday morning's occurrence, patients who arrived in ambulances were transported to different hos- pitals either by helicopter or ambulance. patch supervisor Eric Garcia, referring to public housing residents. Garcia explained that when the dispatches think something has gone awry, they'll send one officer to the house and another will come :by police headquarters anid pick up the key to the resi- dence. "The girls are really protec- tive of their folks," Garcia said. "They take this pretty serious.": Garcia explained that, short of an emergency 911 Around 10:30 Thursday night, two people were involved in an automobile accident at the intersection of John King Road and State Road 85. They were carried to NOMC, but were quickly diverted via emergency heli- copters to hospitals in Pensacola because of capacity issues. Rides in privately owned hospital-based helicopters like Baptist LifeFlight and AirHeart can cost patients anywhere from $5,000 to more than $10,000. Ambulance costs start at $380 for Okaloosa County resi- dents plus $8 per mile. The base rate for specialty care call, the dispatchers put the folks on their call list first. "If they think something is wrong, they'll call them back," Garda said. 'If no one answers,.we send a police officer to their, house immediately," added H Hooper. . Currently, the dispatchers call 13 Crestview residents. They welcome more interest- ed seniors to join the list. Applications can be picked up at the police department office. The city is also working on transport is $650 plus $8 per mile, according to the coun- ty's Public Safety Web site. County EMS Chief Al Herndon said he spoke to hospital staff Thursday night and was informed of the bypass. "We were told that they were on total bypass," Herndon said. "They could- n't take patients via ambu- lance. They were at a level that they could not accom- modate (any more patients)." Hemdon said the bypass continued until about 7:45 a.m. Friday. * However, the hospital *administration is currently investigating the reason why other senior adult programs, including a bracelet program for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Police Chief Brian Mitchell says programs like RU.O.K. are great ways to let residents know that the police depart- ment is about more than traf- fic stops and drug arrests. "If people have a problem they can reach out to some- body," he said. "This program also gives peace of mind for family members who may live out of town." Garrett is adamant about an ambulance was diverted Friday morning. "This morning a nurse turned away an ambulance," Willis said Friday afternoon. "I can assure you that there is a full-scale investigation going on and the appropriate actions will be taken." Willis said there were "several critical emergencies" Thursday night that also tied up emergency room staff. "I know the bays were full and there was an overflow of patients last night," she said. She continued, "Our job is to make sure the patient gets the best care possible. The best may be to send them on to another hospital." her morning phone call. "If Gladys doesn't answer that phone, you better believe they'll come to this house," she said, speaking in the third person. "It's the best thing for any- body that wants it," she con- tinued. "They're all my chil- dren. "I thank God for it." Applications for the R.U.O.K program can be completed at the police department, 321 W.

(Photo by Tech. close to, American soldiers. Sgt. Larry Simmons) Patrick, a 1989 Choctawhatchee High School graduate, is an aero- space propulsion craftsman serving with the 728th Air Mobility Squadron here. "I'm a jet engine mechan- ic. I repair, inspect and maintain C-17 cargo aircraft engines. By doing so, the Air Force can accomplish its mis- sion here of moving supplies into the war zone," said Patrick. Airmen here move cargo off civilian 747 airplanes that land here from the U.S., and reload the cargo into the tac- tical C-17 airplane. By flying critically needed cargo directly to American camps in Iraq, supply truck con- voys driven by American soldiers over dangerous Iraqi roads are greatly reduced. Patrick understands this work is of great importance in helping save American lives in Iraq. "It's important for us to provide reliable air- craft that are ready to go, on time. We have a busy flight line here," he said. Patrick has been serving in the Air Force for 15 years. Although he now lives in a mostly dry, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern country known for its marble-laid mosques, gold, textiles and lamb meat, Patrick will be thinking about home during the holidays. "I'll greatly miss my fami- ly, friends and some home- cooked food. I'll be here and probably will have some friends over to eat and watch football," said Patrick.

Pam White, AmVets Post 35 Ladies Auxilian, 2nd vice B commander, and Mharilvn Rogan, treasurer, presented : Crestview I I :Police , _DepartmenLpo ice._CheL__. ~ . Brian Mitchell, with 101 stuffed toys on December . 20, 2006 at the police station in Cresh-iew. The tovs are for the departments ongoing "Care Bear" program. "On behalf of the police i: department I want to thank you and AmVets for this wonderful gift," said Mitchell, who then added, "I Police Chief Brian Mitchell accepts stuffed animal from had already been told about AmVet Ladies Auxiliary members, Marilyn Rogan and this program and think it is Pam White. wonderful and heartwarm- career law enforcement offi- Louisiana University. He ing." cer.He was born and raised began his career as a patrol Mitchell just recently in Metairie, La., and gradu- officer in the South Florida named Crestview chief, is a ated from Southeastern city of Rivera Beach, before working his way northwest. Before coming to Crestview, his former job was chief of police in Havana, Fla. Care Bears has become synonymous with AmVets and police departments across the United States and I Canada. In adciio tb pro- viding stuffed toys for cdhil- dren who have been trauma- tized by an automobile acci- dent, domestic abuse or neglect, another 2.5 million have been donated through- out North America to chil- dren who have been victim- ized by natural disaster. Another part of the Care Bear program is toys donat- ed at Christmastime by police departments across America. The program began in 1978, and is in itself an offshoot of several loose- ly connected but similar pro- grams, such as Operation Angel Bear, which are pri- marily aimed at comforting abused children. Mitchell pointed this out as he accepted the toys. He also reiterated the fact that policemen not only hand out toys to children who are in been traumatized but also to underprivileged kids as well, a fact that he says is under reported. "We use these toys in our Care Bears program much the same as EMS teams do when they respond to a call," said MiFt'i ll. "Anytime a child is involved in an accident or is victim of abuse or neglect, we respond, and it really makes a difference to a frightened child to have something to hold on to," he said. "However, we cannot forget those who are underprivi- legged and this is what this program helps us with. And again, I want to thank every- one for these wonderful gifts," said Mitchell. "These become very important to children at the right time." The stuffed toy animals have become part 'of AmVets' community involvement. According to White, AmVets Ladies Auxiliary decided to add the police department to its list of beneficiaries in June of this year. It has already become a mainstay with EMS.

It deals with the behavior and interaction of matter, energy, space and time, and also provides the basis for the development of technol- ogy. The physics program at Clarkson encompasses these broad facets of this unique subject. While at Clarkson University Sarah conducted physics education research, participated in Mathcounts (a program designed to pre- pare middle school students for a statewide math compe- tition), and participated in research with IMPETUS a NYS Dept. of Education summer program for stu- dents in grades 7-11 in the area of math and physics. She was a member the Physics Design Team where she collaboratively devel- oped a theoretical model and collected experimental data. Sarah became Vice- President and President of the Physics Club. She worked as a Freshman Physics Grader and an Exam Proctor, and held office hours during her junior and senior years to assist stu- dents with their homework and prepare for exams. Sarah also had an opportu- nity to present her research during a summer sympo- sium. While at Clarkson University Sarah became a member of the American Association of Physics Teachers. Sarah's plans now include attending the University of Texas to com- plete her master's degree in secondary education. She has been accepted into the Teaching Certification pro- gram in Houston to begin teaching physics and mathe- matics.

She is a 2003 graduate of Horseheads High School, Horseheads, N.Y. Her mother, Karen, says, "We are so excited for her to be graduating' and on the Dean's List! But more than that we hope that our daughter can set an example to the local Florida female students that girls can go on to be very successful in math and science. Companies offer scholarships to female students who have an inter- est in this field. "Sarah has been a dream of a daughter and we are beyond words when it comes to pride," she contin- ued.

I SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2006 1 Crestview News Bulletin SCHOOL SATURDAY,~~~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DEEME 30 200 LO A Crsve esBlei Tips to ease holiday overindulgence from the National Headache Foundation CHICAGO, IL Throughout the year, many people look forward to cele-' brating the holiday season with family and friends. While these times can be joy- ous, they can also provide the opportunity to drink more than usual, which can cause the onset of a hangover headache. According to a recent online survey conduct- ed by the National Headache Foundation, 92% of survey respondents noted that they have experienced a hangover headache. This holiday season, 80% of survey respondents replied that they plan to consume alcoholic beverages, of which 56% plan to consume at least three drinks. To help avoid or lessen the suffering associated with hangover headaches that often accompany these annual festivities, the NHF offers some advice and a headache-free drink recipe. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DRINK ALCOHOL, DO SO IN MODERATION. Try to sip your drink slowly. Mixed drinks containing fruit or veg- Factory Quality Auto Glass Replacements & Windshield Repair Free Estimates Free Mobile Service SLifetime Warranty OPE MO-FRI OPEN MON-FRI etable juices will probably have less effect than straight alcohol. AVOID RED WINE, which contains naturally occurring chemicals called congeners. Forty-one percent of survey respondents listed red wine as the type of alco- holic beverage that most fre- quently causes headaches. Congeners impart the specific characteristic tastes to differ- ent types of wine and other alcoholic beverages. Unfortunately, they also may play a role in causing headaches. Congeners are more common in red than white wine. Also, it is advisable to reduce the actual number of alcoholic beverages you con- sume. Spend time catching up with an old friend at the snack table with a soda or glass of water. EAT SOME HONEY. Honey supplies fructose, a sugar that helps the body metabolize alcohol, is rich in vitamin B6 and can reduce hangover symptoms. Two tablespoons of honey on a cracker or piece of toast, before or after drinking, may prevent a hangover. Tomato juice, another good source of fructose, also allows the body to bum alcohol faster. The sugar in fruit and fruit juices may also reduce some symp- toms of hangover, so con- sumption of these products can be beneficial. DRINK FLUIDS CON- TAINING MINERALS AND SALTS. Liquids rich in min- erals and salts offer relief from the dehydration caused by alcohol consumption. A cup of broth or bouillon, for example, will replace fluid and will not cause nausea. In general, replacement of fluids with beverages, such as sports drinks or water, is helpful. DRINK A CUP OF COF- FEE. Caffeine may provide some relief in alleviating the headache symptoms and decreasing the duration of pain. The caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor and eases the dilated blood vessels. Consider drinking a cup of coffee as soon as you wake up the next morning. TAKE IBUPROFEN. While aspirin is okay, ibupro- fen is typically less irritating to the stomach and can also ease the pain of hangover headache. ALTERNATE NON- ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES with alcoholic beverages. Drinking one non-alcoholic beverage between each alco- holic beverage reduces over- all alcohol consumption and helps replenish fluids. An easy way to achieve this is asking for a glass of water in addition to your alcoholic beverage of choice when ordering a drink at the bar. Just 36% of survey respon- dents said that they had tried alternating non-alcoholic bev- erages with alcoholic bever- ages to reduce the chance of having a hangover. EAT GREASY FOOD BEFORE CONSUMING ALCOHOL. While it is wise to be health-conscious and. avoid too much of these foods in general, this is a situation where eating fatty foods may be helpful. If consumed prior to drinking alcohol, these. foods help line the intestines, which causes alcohol absorp- tion to take longer. In other words, a burger or burrito before your beer or Bloody Mary might be beneficial. Only 22% of survey respon- dents stated that they have tried eating greasy foods before consuming alcohol. While a headache caused by drinking too much may be more common at this time of year, chronic headaches can be a problem at any time. Headaches are a legitimate neurobiological disease, and are treatable. If you are expe- riencing headache pain that affects your life, make an appointment with your healthcare provider specifi- cally to discuss your headache problem and seek accurate diagnosis and treat- ment.

The 431-yard par 4 played to a 4.577 stroke average over the three days of the Boeing Championship at Sandestin, making it the most difficult hole on the Champions Tour ahead of holes at major champi- onships like the U.S. Senior and Senior British Opens.

The par 4 ninth played 460 yards dur- ing the event and played to a 4.41 stroke average making it seventh on the list.
