Jim, Jimmy Meyers take Father & Son (Younger) for the Tavistock CC sweep

  TRENTON, N.J. – Jim and Jimmy Meyers of Tavistock CC won the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s 49th Father & Son (Younger) Championship with a 1-over-par 72 Thursday at Trenton CC (par 71, 6,304 yards).

of Tavistock CC

  Their win completes the Tavistock CC sweep of the Father & Son Championships after Ron and Doug Cusick won the Father & Son (Older) back on June 1 at Radley Run CC.

  The pair took the Junior Division title, for sons aged 14-17, after David and Steven Broll of Aronimink GC were not available to face them in a playoff.

  “We pretty much had a strategy where I would hit the tee shots and my dad is good with the irons, so he took those,” said Jimmy, 17, who made the switch from baseball to golf as his primary sport of choice only two years ago.

  He added, “I would then try to putt it in for birdie. We tried to stick to that most of the day.”

  The strategy worked as the pair from Cherry Hill, N.J., posted birdies on No. 1 (par 4, 296 yards), No. 6 (par 4, 315 yards) and the short No. 15 (par 3, 114 yards), with four bogeys on their way to the win.

  Jim, 52, would comment that although the course was not overly long, accuracy was paramount.

  “Accuracy is a major part of my game,” Jim said. “I’m not a bomber, but I can keep it in play.”

  “We both played pretty good from tee to green, so we didn’t have to do much scrambling,” he said.

  A fact that was evident as the father and son duo would only miss three greens in regulation.

  In Thursday’s Junior-Junior division, for sons 13 and under, Jack and Michael Gregor of Huntingdon Valley CC, would take the flight in a scorecard tiebreaker over Dan and Mike Isaacman, after carding a 5-over-par 76.

  “It’s just a great time to be out here with my son,” exclaimed Michael, 43, of North Wales, Pa.

  The Golf Association’s Father & Son competitions date back to 1911.
