By RICH GREENE DN Sports Editor Dave Carr says he’s considering a comeback to professional golf. His results the past two weeks say he’s already back. Carr captured his second title in as many weeks, Monday, winning the 2010 Les Schwab Tires Red Bluff Pro-Am at Wilcox Oaks with a two- round score of 142. Last week Carr won a one-round tournament at the Teal Bend Golf Course in Sacramento, where he has been working as a golf instructor. “I’m actually in the middle of making a comeback right now. This was important to play well to keep it rolling,” Carr said. Carr, who finished in a tie for fourth at Wilcox Oaks in 2009, has seen his share of success in the past. In 2004 he participated in the U.S. Open Championship at Shinnecock Hills. But with a 6-year-old kid at home, his focus shifted away from golf for a few years. Carr was one stroke off of the lead entering Monday’s final round, after firing a 36 and 36 on Sunday. On Monday, he shot a 35 and a 35. While the scores appeared consis- tent, Carr said his round Monday was anything but — including four bogeys and four birdies. One of those birdies was on the notorious 10th Hole, which Carr described as impossible. “It’s just a hard, fun golf course,” Carr said. Carr’s two rounds in the low 70s was enough to hold off a flurry of low scores on Monday. Isaac Sanchez had come into the clubhouse Sunday with the lead after firing a 71, a score that was matched or bettered by six golfers on Monday. Sanchez shot a 74 for his second round and ended up in a tie for fourth place along with Jarrod Warner. Carr, Warner and J.J. Jakovac Dave Carr J.J.

Home openers are exciting. But there’s noth- ing quite like cover- ing a senior night — especially one in May. Senior nights, proms and eventual- ly graduation cere- monies all start over- lapping each other. It’s a great time of the year for those about to embark on adulthood and the people that care about them. Even though I’m sup- Rich Greene sport. posed to remain objec- tive, I’ll admit I fall into the latter category. With this Class of 2010, how could you not? It’s great to stand back and watch seniors get their recognition for all the hard work they put in to play a High school and that time of life is hard enough, let alone adding on a com- mitment such as joining a team. However, what I enjoy even more is watching and talking with the parents. Pride is a feeling that encompasses all of the best emotions in a person. When someone’s feeling it, it’s the best time to have a conversa- tion with them. It may be a bit early to get into a senior column, but these next six weeks are going to fly by, so why not offer a bit of advice now. For all the graduating seniors out there, believe me when I say life doesn’t slow down after you toss your hat into the air. What I can tell you from experience is you’re about to get two new best friends to help you through these times. After graduation, dad and mom will turn from authority figures to your closest advisors. That’s not to say they didn’t give up their roles as your personal judge and jury, but your relationship with them will evolve in the years to come. Your parents have been through this all before and you’ll finally be mature enough to realize it. They’ll still let you learn from making mistakes — just like when you were a kid — but they’ll step in before you make any drastic blunders. While you’re relation- ship with your parents may feel slightly different, don’t worry. When everything is in the gutter, Mom is still going to be there to pick you back up. Dad, well, he’s still going to find a way to come through with whatever it is you need. What makes is better, is unlike the past four years, you’ll start to let them. The freedom you’ll soon have to set your life’s course is what will turn your par- ents into your friends. They are going to be as excited as you are to see where life takes you. Sometimes you’ll choose a path they didn’t take — that’s when your parents get to learn some- thing from you. Senior nights are not just the end of playing careers — they’re the start of some- thing even greater. And it’s one of the many reasons to cherish prep sports. were all tied for second place enter- ing the final round. Jakovac, a former Chico State golfer who was playing in a grouping with his college coach Keith Thomas, lipped a tough putt on the 18th hole that would have forced a tie. He fell to second with a 143. Still, the chance to reunite and play a round with a former friend had left a smile on Jakovac’s face follow- ing the tournament. “It was awesome. It was fun,” said Jakovac, adding he jumped at the chance to play alongside Thomas. “It’s a tough little course, you wouldn’t know it by looking at the scores.” Kris Isackson fired the low round of the tournament, a 67 on Monday, to wind up in third place with 144. In the Pro-Am competition the team of Joe Carlton, Jason Munson, Dick Ashe, David Latimer and Brian McDougall won with a 397.
