SUNRIVER — Tammy Ehrenfelt has not made much time lately to play golf.

As with many amateur golfers, the demands of day-to-day to life pulls her away from the course.

But that did not stop Ehrenfelt, a Lincoln City real estate agent, from winning the overall championship Friday at the 2010 Northwest Dodge Dealers Pacific Amateur Golf Classic.

On a warm, sunny day when only three golfers broke net par at Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Club, Ehrenfelt, a 23.6 handicap, shot a net 69 to win the overall championship at the 14th annual Pac Am.

“I told my husband and my friends that I am going to go and just play golf, because I don’t get to do it at home,” said an ecstatic and surprised Ehrenfelt after being presented her trophy outside the Crosswater clubhouse. “I work and just do too many other things, that I don’t get a chance to play golf.”

The championship round of the Pac Am consisted of the top two golfers from all 32 tournament flights after 54 holes of net stroke play, played on courses throughout Central Oregon.

The best net golfer in each flight after 18 holes was crowned the flight champion. Ehrenfelt went one better with the lowest net score of all the flights.

And nobody was more surprised about the win than she was.

The 48-year-old, who played in the tournament along with her husband, Stacey, said she has been limited to a handful of golf tournaments this year. The last of those tournaments was in May at the Mesquite Amateur in Nevada, a tournament not unlike the Pac Am.

But Ehrenfelt had experienced success before at the Pac Am, including winning her flight in 2009 in her second appearance in the tournament.

“But this is not something I expected,” she said of her overall victory.

Despite having played well enough to claim the championship, she was critical of her game on Friday.

“I played exceptionally well (during the first three days of the Pac Am); I don’t usually play that well,” Ehrenfelt said. “The driver worked all three (previous) days. But I couldn’t hit it today. I had to hit irons.”

Ehrenfelt was not the only repeat flight winner at the 2010 Pac Am.

Bart Johnson, a 14.1 handicap from Puyallup, Wash., won his flight for the third consecutive year.

“I am pretty proud,” Johnson said. “I love (playing at the Pac Am). I would never turn it down. In fact, I send my (tournament entry) money in January.”

The most impressive shot of the day belonged to Jim Hampton, a 32-year-old from Vacaville, Calif.

Hampton, a 2.1 handicap, aced the 156-yard, par-3 No. 13 with an 8-iron.

He was buying drinks for his playing partners — a tradition for any hole-in-one — after the round.

He did not win his flight after struggling on the back nine, but the ace made for a nice reward anyway, he said.

“It’s a good consolation prize,” Hampton said. “On the front I hit it straight, and on the back I started pulling it. The only straight shot I hit was the hole-in-one.”

The golfers at the Pac Am know the tournament is not the Masters.

“But it felt like it,” said Ehrenfelt.

Indeed, many of the amateurs in the Pac Am got their competitive juices flowing at Crosswater.

And that is part of the appeal of the Pac Am, said Mike Pavlik, the winner of Flight 28 from Desert Ridge, Ariz.

“It is (competitive),” said Pavlik, 70. “Each flight is 25, 28 people with similar handicaps to you, so it’s reasonable.”

And of finishing atop a field of more than 600 golfers in this year’s Pac Am, Ehrenfelt said: “It’s really hard. It’s not easy,”
