Dan Ellis, Jimmy Dewling Repeat Winners in GAM Four-Ball Championship

By Tom Lang

LANSING – Brighton’s Jimmy Dewling said the GAM Four-Ball Championship is circled on the calendar each year. 

“It gets us together to play golf,” said the Brighton High School golf coach and real-estate broker of teaming up with former MSU golf teammate Dan Ellis, now the associate head coach for the MSU men’s golf team. 

Dewling, 30, and Ellis, 31, a pair of overpowering long ball hitters, shot a winning 8-under 62 at Country Club of Lansing, winning GAM’s Four-Ball title for the third time overall and second consecutive year. 

A pair of junior golf standouts, Carter Housler of Lansing and PJ Maybank III of Cheboygan, teamed up to shoot 63 and finish second to Dewling and Elli. 

“We’ve played in a few things, did the USGA Four-Ball (earlier this season) and we get together in this,” Ellis said. “It’s fun to get the juice going and to play and see how low we can go.”
