Fort Lauderdale attorney Rick Woulfe leads the SOS Championship at Quail Ridge Country Club

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Nov. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- It’s a 30-minute commute for Fort Lauderdale attorney Rick Woulfe to Quail Ridge Country Club for this week’s Society of Seniors Championships, but it seems like a home game.

Woulfe, who won the 2007 SOS and a Florida State Golf Association event at Quail Ridge as well as qualifying for several U.S. Senior Amateurs and a U.S. Mid-Amateur here, shot a bogey-free 68 Tuesday to take a two-shot lead in the Dale Morey Division (age 55-64).

“I love playing here, obviously,” Woulfe said. “I like the layout and I like where they cut the holes today because they kept getting in the way of my ball. I played very good because it was tough out there with the (20-mph) wind.”

The 64-year-old Woulfe, who has yet to shoot his age, leads by two shots over Jody Vasquez of Aledo, Texas. Seven players are tied for third place with 71s: Bob Kain of Gates Mills, Ohio; Bob Stephens of Indianapolis; Flynt Lincoln ofSomers, Ct.; Jay Blumenfeld of Parsippany, N.J.; John Fritz of Mint Hill, N.C.; John Register of Ellicott City, Md.; and Vance Antoniou of N. Barrington, Ill.

The Society of Seniors is an elite organization for players 55 and older who have handicaps of 3 or less. The SOS Championship is the nation’s second-ranked event for senior amateurs, behind only the U.S. Senior Amateur.

In the John Owens Division (65-74), Jim Anthony of Franklin, Ind., shot a 71 and leads by a shot over Allan Fugate of Louisville. Talk-show host Maury Povich is tied for 11th in the John Owens Division after a 76. He was one-under with five holes left, but had a couple of late double bogeys and two bogeys.

In the Grand Masters Division (75 and older), Harry Cain (73) of Williamsburg, Va., leads by a shot over Bill Robischon (74) of Tequesta, Fla.

The 54-hole event runs through Thursday at Quail Ridge Country Club.
