“What’s it looking like, Geno?” one golfer asked as the rain continued to pour on the Dothan Country Club golf course Wednesday afternoon.
“We might have a window around 2 o’clock,” Geno Celano answered, hoping the golfers gathered would be able to get in some play during the scheduled Dothan Pro-Am Classic.
This week, the 54-hole tournament began with a Pro-Am before the professionals are scheduled to continue the three-day event Thursday and Friday. The golfers did eventually make it out on the course Wednesday around 2 p.m. The scores the professionals have playing with the amateurs Wednesday count towards their three-day total.
The winner’s check for the tournament this week is $8,000, but the payouts to the ones who don’t win dwindles when players decide to pull out unexpectedly. Celano, a native of Pensacola who now lives in Destin, was 32 and still playing golf professionally when he decided to start a golf circuit. “I really didn’t have any intention of making it a career. I just wanted to have it as something to play in, really. But we had some really good players … Alan Pate started playing with us, then Joe Durant … we had a lot of good players.”“It was pretty cool, actually,” Celano said. “I won one and finished second quite a bit. That was my dream to still keep playing. I never thought this would be a career and be doing it this long, obviously.
