DESSA—A consistent performer
for more than 40 years, John
Grace of Fort Worth now stands
alone among Texas amateur golfers.
By making yet another gutsy par,
this time on the difficult 18th hole of
the Links Course at windswept Odessa
Country Club, Grace won the 2010
Texas Senior Amateur by one stroke over
Timothy Carlton of Cypress and became
the only winner of the three statewide
individual tournaments sanctioned by
the Texas Golf Association.
Grace won the 1994 Texas State
Amateur at Mira Vista Country Club in
Fort Worth and has four Mid-Amateur
titles to his credit, winning four in a row
from 1991 through ’94 on courses as
diverse as Fairway Oaks in Abilene and
Crown Colony in Lufkin.
“It’s always special to win a tournament,” Grace said.
“But this is especially
gratifying.
And like most wins, it did not
come easily.
