Coleman Senior Inv: Seminole's Norton wins it
Bryan Norton
JUNO BEACH, Fla. (April 26, 2014) -- Local
knowledge is a huge advantage in the game of golf
and Seminole Golf Club member Bryan Norton
proved that much is true with an impressive victory
over a national field in the Senior Division of the
George L. Coleman Invitational.
North shot rounds of 69-74-72 to win by a shot
over Buzz Fly, Chip Lutz and Tim Jackson.
Jackson held the overnight lead thanks to a
second-round 69 but couldn't keep pace with
Norton on Saturday.
Recent U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Randy Lewis
took fifth, finishing two shots ahead of Buddy
Marucci. Brady Exber was seventh while Doug
LaCrosse and Chris Lange tied for eighth place.
Many of the players in the Coleman field are now
heading to Bradenton, Fla. for the inaugural
Concession Cup. Featuring teams from the U.S.
and Great Britain & Ireland, the team matches will
go to honor the famous concession by Jack
Nicklaus to Tony Jacklin at the 1969 Ryder Cup.
The George L. Coleman Invitational is one of the
year's top events. Played at the Donald Ross-
designed Seminole Golf Club, the Coleman
features a loaded field featuring many of the
world's top mid-amateurs and seniors.

designed by Donald Ross. The course, not long
by
today's standards, lies hard by the Atlantic
Ocean. Oceanic winds and very fast greens
give
this course teeth. Ben Hogan once said 'If you
can play Seminole, you can play any course in
the world.'
The tournament is a 54-hole stroke play invitational
that draws an elite field of
mid-amateurs and seniors.
