The Old And The New – TKI Style

Jay Harvey, Benny Hayes, Nate Choukas and Chris Lincoln enjoyed an
inter-generational match in Saturday morning's Championship flight competition.

HANOVER – Thetford’s Chris Lincoln has been pairing up with former Middlebury College soccer teammate Jay Harvey for a handful of years in the Tommy Keane Invitational and in Friday qualifying they carded a 71 to earn a berth in the Championship flight for the first time.

That was the good news. The bad news was that when they stepped to the first tee Saturday morning they found themselves shaking hands with Benny Hayes and Nate Choukas, who qualified with a 66. The former Hanover High School golf captains are 40-or-so years their juniors.

“I was having flashbacks to playing against older gentlemen when I was that age,” said Harvey, who works as a consultant in Hilton Head, S.C., and comes back to New England just to play in the TKI. “It was fun seeing their swings and the power and accuracy they had.”

The match between old and new was all even until a Choukas birdie on 9 helped spur the younger players to a 3&2 win.

For Lincoln and Harvey, the morning round was a foreshadowing of what would come in the afternoon consolation round when they found themselves going head-to-head with Zach Temple and Mark Lyford, another pair of young turks.

Temple hit a 6-iron to a foot on 12 and watched as the ball took one hop an plopped into the cup for a hole-in-one. He and Lyford went on to a 4&3 win.

“I think I’m tired of 18-year-olds,” a joking Lincoln said after finishing his second round of the day.

Matchups between veterans like Harvey and Lincoln – the two-time defending Hanover Country Club senior champion – and young players like Choukas and Hayes are a hallmark of the Tommy Keane.

“I think it’s great,” Lincoln said between Viagra jokes. “This is the best tournament because it’s all about golf. It’s gross scores. There are no strokes being given. I doesn’t matter who you are playing or how old they are. You just go out and play pure golf.”

While Choukas and Hayes had youth on their side, Lincoln and Harvey had something else going for them, according to the latter.

“When you are older you have experience,” he said. “You get up and down. When we were hitting hybrids to 10 feet from the pin it could have rattled them a little bit. But they stayed steady and played their games. They just outmuscled us at the end.

“I used to hit it 280,” Harvey went on, “and now I hit it 230, 240. Many holes they didn’t even hit their driver, and they were still 20 or 30 yards past us with hybrids and four-woods. The couple times they hit driver I would guess they were 300, 310.”

While they were younger and longer, nothing was given to his team, according to Choukas, who will play next year at Trinity College in Connecticut after taking a gap year.

“We were playing two different games,” he said. “If I’m putting the ball into play I have wedge into every hole whereas those guys know how to get up and down. I might be able to intimidate them if I am hitting the ball well, but if they are getting up and down from everywhere and I’m three-putting then it’s going to go the other way.”

It wasn’t until Choukas’ birdie on 9 that Hayes, who had a strong freshman year at the University of Puget Sound last fall, began to relax.

“We were thinking it could go either way until then,” he said. “Those guys aren’t as long as us, but they know how to putt and they know how to chip.”

Although Lincoln and Harvey dropped their first-ever Championship flight match, they enjoyed the chance to tee it up against two of the better young players around.

“We had nothing to lose,” said Harvey. “No one expected us to beat them and we hung in against two very good players.

“They are gentlemen. They are kids who know the game. Not just the game of golf but the spirit of the game.”

Choukas and Hayes saw their own run in the Championship flight come to an end when they fell to Mike Pollard and Doug Daniels on the 18th hole in their afternoon match.

“We had them early and to be honest, it was ours to lose and we lost it,” said Hayes. “I had a 3-putt on 17 from about 12 feet and that didn’t help. We had our chances and didn’t capitalize. That’s golf.”

No matter if you are 18 or you are 58.

DIVOTS

Not So Fast

It is slow going at the Tommy Keane this morning. Whether that means the teams are playing slowly, the matches are particularly competitive or a combination of the two, I've been warned not to expect much in the way of results until perhaps 2 p.m.

That being the case, enjoy your crossword puzzle or take the pup for an extended walk because it's going to be a while. Catch you in a bit.

The Brotherhood Of The Tommy Keane

Tom Peters goes low to line up a putt on the second green while brother Ben
checks the line from above. The brothers were teamed up for the first time
in an event their dad, Scott, has won six times. (Click photo to enlarge) 

HANOVER – Friday’s qualifying round in the 39th annual Tommy Keane Invitational golf tournament at Hanover Country Club might have been the slowest 18 holes Scott Peters has played in the event in many a year.

That’s OK with the onetime Hanover High School standout who has challenged land-speed records on the Dartmouth College course in years past. And not just because he and partner Andy Hydorn toured the par-71 layout in a nifty six-under 65, behind only medalists Nick and Shane MacDonald (63), and Mitch Cable and Mike Hathorn (64).

The slower-than-usual round was OK with Peters because the other team in his group was made up of a couple of former Hanover High players with whom he is intimately familiar, sons Ben and Tom.
“It was great to have them out here together for the first time,” said Peters, who has won the Keane six times with his brother Mike. “Playing with them didn’t take me back as much as it took me forward, because it showed the Tommy Keane tradition is moving forward.

“It is neat that the tradition is being passed on. I’m glad Ben and Tom and the younger players are enthusiastic about what the Tommy Keane is and what it’s all about.”

Ben Peters, 21, will be a senior business major at the University of Vermont in the fall while Tom Peters, 18, will be a freshman at West Virginia University.

“I’ve been kind of waiting until he was 18 and old enough to play,” said Ben, still scraping rust off his game after spending part of the summer studying business in China. “I played with (Hanover High teammate) Shane Wolter the past couple of years and we had a blast. But once Tom turned 18 I wanted to play with him and keep the ‘Brothers Peters,” thing going on.”

Tom Peters, who has seen his 5:30 a.m. shift on the Hanover Country Club grounds crew cut into his own rounds this summer, never considered playing with anyone but his older brother once he was eligible for the tournament.

“That was a decision made long before this year,” he said. “Seeing my dad and my uncle play together so many times, it only made sense that I would play with Ben once I was 18.”

Proud grandfather Seaver Peters, who years ago took on the role of tournament announcer after his final Tommy Keane as a player, took satisfaction in seeing the next generation of Peters brothers tee it up in an event that is clearly special to him.

“It was a great thrill to see them come out and play together,” Seaver Peters said, “and it was really fun to see them play with their dad.

“They are part of the younger contingent that is the future of this tournament. It’s refreshing to have the younger players here. It has been a pleasant surprise and helps solidify the future.”

If Tom Peters has his way, that future will be long and healthy.

“It’s not just a weekend’s worth of golf,” he explained. “Everyone who plays is always in a good mood. You get to play with anyone you want, but you also meet a lot of new people.

“Match play is always fun. No matter what skill you are, there are going to be people you can have a good match against, and that’s important. I’d definitely recommend playing in this tournament for anyone coming up. I’m not even halfway trhough my first one and I’m already having a great time.”

Like his brother, Ben Peters has been around the Tommy Keane virtually all his young life.
“I remember always coming out and watching the last day with my mom,” he said. “Then when I was old enough to work here, as soon as I was off I would get in a cart and go out and see how it was going.

“It’s a fun tournament to watch and to play in. It’s the most fun weekend I have golfing. Whether you play well or you play badly, it’s good to be out here.”

While their dad’s team was lighting up the course, Ben and Tom shot an 89, but even that disappointment couldn’t tarnish an experience they have been waiting to enjoy together.

“We didn’t hit it great but it was awesome anyway,” said Ben Peters. “It was just really fun to play with my brother and my dad, and it’s always a treat to be in this tournament, no matter how we played.”

If it pleased their old man that his sons have come to appreciate the tradition of the Tommy Keane, he might have been just as pleased by how they reacted to a score that wasn’t what they wanted.

“They probably handled today better than their father and uncle would have,” Scott Peters said with a chuckle. “I remember the year after we won it for the first time, we came back and we didn’t even make the championship flight. That was humble pie.”

This year’s tournament is certainly a lot more satisfying for Scott Peters, who has heard his father’s voice come over the PA system introducing three Peters for the first time.

“This is a special tournament for the Keanes,” Scott Peters said. “But I think it’s just about as important to our family as it is to theirs.”

DIVOTS
Nick and Shane MacDonald, who teamed up to win the 2010 Tommy Keane, recorded eight birdies in a bogey-free round to finish atop the leaderboard. Nick MacDonald did yeoman work, shooting a 66 on his own ball.

Awaiting the father-son team from Lebanon is a tough opening match Saturday against Hartford alums Jake Obar and Bill Vielleux, who came in at even-par 71. Obar teamed with Rex Whitney for a win in the ’06 Tommy Keane.

Second-seeded Hurricane veterans Mitch Cable and Mike Hathorn will take on the father-son team of Jim and Andrew Jankowski, who came in with 71.

One shot behind the Peters-Hydorn team was the pairing of recent Hanover High grads Nate Choukas and Benny Hayes, who shot a blistering 29 on the front and finished at 66.

Action in three flights continues with morning and afternoon matches Saturday. The championship will be determined after morning and afternoon matches Sunday.

Here We Go

HANOVER – At least one member of every championship team since 2000 will be teeing it up at Hanover Country Club in Friday qualifying for the Tommy Keane Invitational.

Now in its 39th renewal, the Four Ball tournament honors Tommy Keane, who coached golf at Dartmouth College and served as head professional at Hanover Country Club from 1922 until 1966. Keane finished his career with a record of 305-176-5 with his 1934 team claiming the New England championship and his ’41 team being crowned Eastern Intercollegiate Tournament champions.

A total of 52 teams will take part in qualifying that will determine flights for match play Saturday and Sunday.

“This is one of the unique tournaments in New England because it’s a gross event,” said Hanover Country Club pro Alex Kirk. “There are no handicaps. There’s good competition with everyone flighted based on their ability.

“We have 52 teams and we’re starting to see some new ones this year, with some even coming over from the Seacoast. I think we’re seeing a little turning of the tide with the next wave of players starting to come along. They are grabbing some of their friends and having a good time. There’s good comaraderie that you can already see with the guys out on the back deck after their practice round.”

Former Hartford High School standouts Jake Obar and Joe Toland teamed up a year ago to earn Friday medalist honors in qualifying with a 66.

Lebanon High School alums Tyler Silver and Zach Pollard, who qualified with a 69 on Friday, went on to earn the 2013 championship flight title with a 3&1 win over the father-son team of Shane and Nick MacDonald, also of Lebanon.

Pollard will be joined this year by Bentley College teammate Sal Visali of West Barnstable, Mass., while the MacDonalds, who won the TKI in 2010, will team up once again.

The list of notable area golfers who have played on winning Tommy Keane teams over the years includes former Dartmouth All-America Jery Daly, Lebanon’s Rich Parker, who went on to success as a touring professional and now coaches the Dartmouth men’s team; Hanover’s Sam Brackett, who would play for a number of years on the New England pro circuit; Nick MacDonald and Jake Obar, who both played in the U.S. Amateur; and current pro Peter Williamson.

It was a difficult winter for Hanover Country Club but Kirk is confident the competitors who saw the course when it first opened will appreciate where it is now.

“This was the roughest start we’ve had in my tenure,” he said. “The grounds crew has done the best they could with the hand they were dealt and it’s been coming around. The grass is growing and we’ve been rolling the greens.

“It’s in the best condition it could be considering the winter we had.”
