Moore knows he’ll have to adjust his game some for the DCC layout, which is more compact than that of Highland Oaks, where he plays the most.

Cloern hit his drive on 18 into a fairway bunker, but didn’t panic in the least.

Dothan is now 8-2 in the South Central Division with 21 points, just behind first place and unbeaten Asheville (N.C.), which stands at 8-0 with 24 points.

Right behind is Jackson Skinner of Birmingham with a 66, while six players are two strokes off the pace at 67.

Clay Kyser of Opp got the word Wednesday he was getting a chance to play in the Press Thornton Future Masters as a replacement player in the 15-18 age division.

Parker Trawick of Enterprise and Clay Kyser of Opp both stand at 8-over par 148 for the tourney.

Skinner, who was a shot back of the lead after a first round 66, followed it up with a steady 2-under par 68 on Friday.

Though he didn’t finish like he would have liked, Kyser said he learned plenty about himself this week.

A little carpet magic from the night before at the Airbnb Stiglitz was staying at may have been the difference.

Three hand-crafted wooden boxes arrived at the Dothan Country Club last week with the 76th annual Press Thornton Future Masters in progress.
