Larry Conroy, in a tightly contested match against Dan Duey, won the two-tee match-play competition. Lance Clayton, sinking a much-needed putt on the 17th hole, secured his win over Rich Dunkailo. Both matches concluded four weeks of match play that featured a mix of pleasant days and cooler weather—so cool on the final match day that warm-weather clothing was once again required. (See picture.)
Golf match play is a head-to-head scoring format in which players compete to win individual holes, with the match decided by the player who wins the most holes. Handicaps are used to even the competition when players’ skill levels differ.
Men’s Championship to Start
Players are encouraged to sign up for the Men’s 18 Championship. Play begins March 6, followed by rounds on March 13 and 14. Depending on the number of participants, flights will be determined based on player handicaps. Flights will be offered from both two and three tees, with both net and gross scoring in each division. The Men’s 18-hole Champion will be determined from the first flight playing the two tees. The awards luncheon will be held on April 3.
Last year’s winner, Dan Duey, will be seeking his fifth championship victory in recent years.
