The 6,302-yard, par 70 layout at
Dayton Country Club yielded several low scores on Monday for the
Southern Ohio PGA Section's Argosy Legacy Championship. Despite the
light rain, the course was in perfect shape for the 72 professionals
in the field. The tightly tree-lined fairways of Dayton Country
Club played significantly longer due to the wet conditions, and ball
striking was a again a premium.
Dave Bahr, the current head
professional at Maketewah Country Club and former head professional
at Dayton Country Club, displayed his local knowledge of the course
firing at 4-under par 66 to claim medalist honors. Bahr was able to
survive the elements and edge out three-time PGA Club Professional
of the Year Bob Sowards by one stroke to claim the $1,200 first
place prize money. Also posting rounds under par were Paul
Hollenbaugh of New Albany Country Club with 68 and Sam Arnold of The
Vineyard with a one-under par 69.
The Southern Ohio PGA Section
would like to thank Argosy Gaming Company for their contribution of
$4,500 to the event purse. We would also like to thank the entire
staff and membership at Dayton Country Club for hosting this event.
Congratulations to Dave Bahr, the 2006 Argosy Legacy Champion.
