Squaring Off For The Lucky Seventh
Hanover -- Although Mike and Scott Peters couldn’t win their record seventh Tommy Keane Invitational golf championship yesterday afternoon at Hanover Country Club, the brother pairing made sure no one else would reach the milestone this year.
Facing the team of fellow six-time winner Brian Doyle and Craig Steckowych -- Doyle’s partner for the last three of those titles -- the Peters won three holes in a four-hole span of the front nine on the way to a 1-up victory in one of the marquee matches of the 32nd renewal of the TKI.
“The funny thing is I’m a member with those guys down at Portsmouth,” Mike Peters said. “I knew the numbers but I didn’t think about them. This was just a good match against good friends and that’s what this tournament is about. There was even some good golf.”
The difference between the teams on this afternoon wasn’t as much playing good golf as avoiding a little not-so-good golf.
“You don’t want to lose to pars,” Mike Peters said. “No one minds losing to birdies; You don’t want to lose to pars.”
But that’s exactly what Doyle and Steckowych did.
After the Peters evened the afternoon match with a birdie on 4, they won the 5th, 6th and 8th holes with pars. “That, as much as anything, was the match,” Mike Peters said. “They were never able to completely recover after that.”
Not that they didn’t try. Steckowych closed the gap with birdies on 11 and 12. A big Scott Peters birdie on 14 gave his team a little breathing room again, only to see their foes from the Seacoast answer with a birdie on 16. Steckowych sent the match to the final hole with a clutch putt on 17.
“He didn’t make a real good chip by his standards and had about 10-12 feet,” Mike Peters recalled. “It was a brutal curler and he nailed it. Not that it surprised me because he’s one of the best competitors you’ll see.”
The Peters, who began the day with a 3 & 2 win over fellow 2002 co-champions Shane MacDonald and Andy Hydorn, play the team of Joe King and Sean Lacey Sunday morning. King and Lacey advanced with a 1-up win over No. 1 seed Nick MacDonald and Doug Lantz.
The other semifinal pits Dean Cashman and Chris Pollard against Ryerson Stinson and Pat Pelletier. Cashman/Pollard advanced with a 4 & 3 win over the father-son team of Duane and Billy Vielleux while Stinson and Pelletier took a 2 Up victory over Mike Hathorn and Mitch Cable.
The winners of the two morning matches will square off for the TKI championship flight title in the afternoon.

Low Scores Highlight Qualifying
HANOVER -- The consensus among longtime watchers of the Tommy Keane Invitational at Hanover Country Club after Friday’s stroke play was that the championship flight it produced is strong. Very strong.
Jake Obar, the former Hartford High School standout who teamed with Hanover High product Rex Whitney to win last year’s championship, sees the 32nd renewal of the event the same way.
“It’s a great championship flight,” he said. “The playoff (for the final slots in the championship flight) was one-over and I think it’s been a long time since it’s been that low. Probably since they did the renovations (in 2001). There’s a lot of good scores out there. I mean, 6-under? Even in a two-man, that’s as good as it gets.”
Medalists in stroke play at 65 on the par-71 Hanover layout were University of Hartford player Nick MacDonald of Lebanon and Doug Lantz, a veteran of a number of good runs in the New Hampshire Amateur. Earning the second seed, one shot back, were Duane and Bill Vielleux, the former minor league baseball player out of Hartford High. The father-won team shot a 66.
Onetime Dartmouth golfer Ted Dardani and Noel Volpe claimed the third seed with a 67.
The fourth seed went to Jim Burnett -- the inaugural TKI champion in 1975 -- combining for a 68 while playing for the first time with son Joe.
Shane MacDonald -- father of top-seeded Nick -- joined again this year with Andy Hydorn and his team is seeded fifth after carding a 68.
Obar and Chris House shot a 69 to take the sixth seed, thanks in part to House’s first career hole-in-one on the 145-yard 14th hole.
One more shot back at 70 and seeded 11th are former Hanover High standout Ryerson Stinson and former Lebanon golfer Pat Pelletier (70).
Brothers Scott and Mike Peters, winners of six TKI titles, are seeded 12th after shooting a 1-under 70. “My money would be on them coming in,” said Obar. “They scare me down there.”
Right behind the Peters brothers is six-time champion Brian Doyle, teaming up once again with Craig Steckowcyh, his partner the last three times he won the title. The pair from the Seacoast shot 71, the same as Hartford High co-coach Mike Hathorn, seeded 14th with former Hurricane star, Mitch Cable.
Match play begins this morning. The champions will be crowned Sunday afternoon.
“This is a great tournament,” said Obar. “I look forward to playing in it every year. It doesn’t get any better than this. Great golf with a bunch of great guys. It’s just a great event.”
