Dunmore Posts One for the Books
Farmington Hills Golf Course has become famous for low scores and records and this year didn’t disappont. Rich Dunmore notched a record 4th victory on the course and posted the 3rd sub 60 round in Tour history with a winning 12 under par 59. This is the third year in a row that the winning score at the RJMO has been 60 or better. Eric Birkle finished second with an outstanding yet ordinary 65 – 6 under par. Willi Hesse was third at 5 under par 66 and Gregg Nothdurft, Brian Lardin and Mike Geisser all tied for fourth at 3 under par 68. On course prizes went to Birkle, Kevin Gregoire, guest Kenny Ayers, and Rick Floyd whose ball stopped inches from being the seasons first ace. Birkle’s winnings move him to 2nd in all-time RJMO winnings while Geisser now ranks 4th. Willi Hesse was 3rd place for the 10th time in his Tour career. Joe Robar recorded his 150th Tour start while Chuck Withey booked his 250th. Brian Lardin made number trivia with his 8th Tour 4th place finish. He now has 8 wins, 8 seconds, 8 thirds and 8 fourths. And Rich Dunmore is the all-time RJMO money winner with his 16th Tour win in 290 starts on Tour.
Charity donation presentation to Mike Lum and family members. A fitting tribute as the Tour has raised $9195 for the Alzheimer’s Association from this event.
From Mike Lum:
This year’s RJMO is bittersweet, as we celebrate the life of both Reatha and Norman Jackson. Gramps passed away just last week at 95 years young. Gramps went peacefully, falling asleep on earth and waking up with Grams in Heaven. Gramps was an avid golfer in his younger years and in his later years, he really enjoyed riding around in the cart to help pick up the hole sponsor signs pre-covid. He will be remembered for his easy smile and love of his family and friends. Rest in peace, Gramps.
