Well, once again the month of October has come and gone. Grass is starting to go dormant and two major tournaments have been decided. Those two are the 'River Challenge' and the 'Club Championship'. First to the 'River Challenge'. This is a tournament envisioned 5 years ago which 16 of our best players (12 open and 4 seniors) compete against 16 of Southern Wayne Country Club's best. For those of you not familiar with the format, think of the 'Ryder Cup'. The first day consists of 36 holes. The first being a Four-Ball and ending with Modified Alternate Shot. The second day consists of 18 hole Individual Medal Play. Congratulations to the team from GMGC. We WON, 17 1/2 - 14 1/2!!! That makes it SWCC 3, GMGC 2. This year's team consisted of Danny Stockwell, Richard Walderman, John Breshears, John Dees, Tom Ferencz, Steve Sutton, Chris Morrissey, Bob Mills, Rusty Jackson, Steve Adams, Doug Safford, Mike Morawski, Kent Smith, Barry Anderson, Tim Rose and Doug Anderson. Way to go guys!!! Be watching out for next year's qualifying schedule. EVERONE is invited to try out.
