 JOHNSTON MEIER SPRING CHAMPIONSHIP & PRO-AM
Swan-e-Set Golf Club – May 21st, 2007
'Triple Header for Hallborg
at Johnston Meier's Spring Championship'
Jeff Hallborg of Hi-Knoll
Teaching Centre in Surrey made it three wins in his last three
Vancouver Golf Tour outings to capture win the Johnston Meier
Insurance Spring Championship and Pro-am. Hallborg's fine score
of 66 was a result of 6 birdies and no bogeys on the card - good
for a tie for first after regulation play with Fraserview
Professional Dan Swanson. Swanson vaulted his way into a
playoff with Hallborg with a fine back nine score of 31,
birdying his last two holes. However, at the completion of three
playoff holes, Hallborg's par was good enough for him to take
Individual Professional honors and take home $1,200. His win
also resulted in a bonus $500 for winning the VGT Spring Order
of Merit, winning over Phil Phil Jonas of McCleery Golf Course
and Hazelmere by only $400.
Hallborg also captured the Pro-am
Team title on the day as his amateur team of Brian Pyper, Ian
McMurtie and Christine Cartwright (shown in picture) shot a
two-best net score of -23 on the day! Our Low Championship
Amateur score was posted by Corey Steger with a score of
74, one shot over Stephen Jenkins with a 75.
Johnston Meier's Insurance
representative Dave Ebner was in attendance on the day
and had the following comments about the tournament "The VGT
Spring Championship was a well run event which Johnston Meier
Insurance Group was proud to be a part of. We look forward to
years of involvement with the tour down the road".
Johnston Meier's Insurance is a
local Insurance group based in the Lower Mainland with its head
office in Maple Ridge. During the event, Johnston Meier's
provided two opportunities for the players to have a shot of
their life by insuring two $10,000 Hole-in-one's. Although there
were a few stories on the day of 'close calls', no-one was the
recipient of these cash awards!
