Two years ago Mark Miller and Philip Bartholomew were the toast of the Golf Association of Philadelphia town. Levittown's Miller beat the pros becoming the 12th amateur to win the Philadelphia Open in 106 tries while Yardley's Bartholomew captured the Philadelphia Amateur.
The Yardley Country Club members have played together in team matches, so why not team in the 11th annual Capital Cup at Trenton Country Club?
The two combined for victory in the star-studded field with a nine-under-par 98 in the event that features nine holes of better-ball of partners, nine holes of scramble play and nine holes of alternate shot. The Yardley twosome earned a five-shot win over Nissequoque's Hunter Stone and Colin Dolph.

Back in 1993 it was a different time on the South Jersey public golf scene.
There were nice "local courses" like Brigantine, Avalon, Atlantis and Mays Landing. Nice golf, to be sure, but not extremely special.
Then owner Roger Hansen unveiled the brand spanking new, upscale, Blue Heron Pines. The new kid on the block was met with great reviews. The Stephen Kay design was challenging and a whole lot of fun.

The life of a pro tour golfer can be complete with courtesy cars, endorsements and huge AIG-like paydays for the most successful ones.
But for every PGA Tour star there are thousands of strong players whose game comes up just a hair short. The line of difference can be as minuscule as a wayward stroke here or a misaimed putt there.
"It's a difficult road, a rollercoaster ride of sorts, one with all kinds of thrills and obstacles along the way," said Langhorne native Christian Bartolacci, a Neshaminy High School and Temple University graduate and four-time letter winner. "It's a job, one which you only get paid if you perform. A tough outing and you are done for the week."
