On October 26th, twenty five players came to The Fringe in Roswell, Ga for their chance at the $2500 purse and to see who would win the first ever Putters League Season Championship!
After an incredible five-tournament season, Gary Hester has claimed the first-ever by scoring the most points overall by finishing with a total of 116 season points. He edged out Greg Newport by only 2 total points overall. Randy Reeves came in 3rd place overall on the season with 107. Congratulations, Gary, on an amazing achievement!
Joey Graybeal aka “The Mongoose” won the Saturday tournament for his first ever Putters League event by shooting 31, 30, and 30 in the three rounds for a total of 91. Greg Newport came in second place with a total of 92, and Gary Hester, Randy Reeves, and John Ventura all tied for third place each scoring a 94.
Georgia’s Kevin McKleroy shined in the Georgia Pro Division, while Asheville, NC’s Carolyn Klinefelter stole the spotlight by winning both the Amateur Division and the Women’s Division! 
Heading into the tournament, Kent Cranford and Bryan Akers held the course record of 29 on the challenging Chattahoochee Gulch course. In an exciting turn, Greg Newport broke that record in round two with a scorching 28. But one round later, Bryan Akers raised the bar again, setting a new course record of 27! 
Huge congratulations to Gary, Joey, Kevin, & Carolyn for all of ‘podiums’ and all the players who brought their A-game and competitive spirit. It was an unforgettable season and an epic final day of fierce competition, camaraderie, and incredible putts.
Can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store!
