Final results, provided in a Carolinas Golf Association news release

SUNSET BEACH, N.C. – Robert Riesen of Pinehurst and Philip Chauncey of Durham took the North Carolina Four-Ball amateur golf title Sunday at Ocean Ridge Plantation. The duo, who play college golf for the University of North Carolina, followed up a scorching 61 Saturday with a closing 67 Sunday for a 195 total, 21 under par, and a two-shot victory.

If you weren’t paying attention to the senior softball set, here’s some trivia: More than 1.5 million men and women over 40 play Senior Softball in the United States, according to Senior Softball USA. Clearly, Grandpa and Grandma aren’t hanging around the house waiting for the grandkids to visit - they’re probably already at the batting cages.

Quite a few of those seniors swing their bats in the Triangle, and they’re good, too - good enough to be the only teams representing North Carolina at Oct. 17-26 Senior Softball USA World Championships in Phoenix, Ariz.
