National Tour: 3.3-3.4 East County Classic

This past weekend the FCG Tour stationed up at Carlton Oaks Country Club for the weekend with weather that hit two ends of the spectrum! Our first day yielded blowing winds and a heavy dump of rain for a solid 25 minutes, that affected play for those on the course. Slight drizzle off and on for the remainder of the first round. And our second day saw sunny skies, shorts weather! A normal San Diego winter weather forecast! The Carlton Oaks 18-hole championship Dye-designed course has golf roots that date back to 1958. However, the course was totally renovated by Perry Dye, son of Paul B. “Pete” Dye, in 1989. Pete Dye became a legend in the field of golf course design and construction and received the 2008 World Golf Hall of Fame lifetime achievement award. Dye Designs has established a worldwide reputation for creating unique, challenging and environmentally sensitive golf courses that are always fun to play. Carlton Oaks is certainly no exception. All players played this course at a modified par of 71, making the 8th hole into a par 3 for pace of play purposes. Top finishers in this event also earn an exemption into the 2018 FCG Callaway World Championship next July in Rancho Mirage, CA.Now let’s get into some results…
