FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bond Head ON - The Great Lakes Tour made a stop recently at The Club at Bond Head near Alliston ON.  The beautiful Clublink facility was playing difficult but many players commented on the fast, pure greens and mentioned the surfaces were the best the GLT experienced so far this season.  

Brett Nymeyer (Stratford) took advantage of his extraordinary distance and the great putting surfaces to post a round of four under par 68.  His round featured six birdies and two bogies.  Nymeyer caught fire in the middle of his round making five birdies on holes 6 through 11.  He made a late bogey on the difficult par 3 15th, but his lead was safe as he went on to win by four shots.

There were five players tied for second place at even par 72.  Brett Cairns (Courtland), Drew Nesbitt (Oro-Medonte), Matt Hoffman (Thornhill), Mitch Sutton (London) and Stephen Gonko (Sudbury) couldn't break the deadlock in the runner up position.  Most notably...
