The season is over for the Whitevale team in the SRC, the
two-man team gross match play tournament. In total, there are 76 clubs from
Michigan, New York State and Ontario competing in 19 four-club divisions. We
competed against Rattle Snake Point, Mill Run and Oakville golf clubs this year.
Each team was comprised of 6 Seniors and 2 Super Seniors (65+) at each event. Mill
Run won our Division with 64 points, while Rattle Snake Point was second with
57, Whitevale had 54 and Oakville earned 17 points. Mill Run will qualify for a
playoff or potentially directly into Championship Day at St. Catherines GC in
September.
I wish to thank all our participants this season: Fred
Calvert, Mike McGarragle, Bob Nebel, Declan Dunn, Dave Walker, Barry Catterall,
Kevin Hughes, Dennis Matton, Bob Spahn, Doug McIntyre, Ron Bell, Al Swartz and
John Trimble.
