It was a hard fought match on the Arroyo/Lakes course Wednesday. When the dust settled, the team of Dennis Kildare, Mike Wentrup, Rick May and Ron Dobkin walked away with the prize with a two-best balls score of 24 under par 120. A number of teams were right on their heels and Russ Maring, Steve Danovic, John Deery and Gene “the chipper” Kloeckner emerged victorious from a scorecard playoff with the team of Don Coolidge, Dave Inman, Bruce Partridge and Jim Woods. They finished one stroke back at 121.
John Herold took home low gross honors with a 73. Al Cozzi fired a net 62 to win the net division.
