The Club Championship/ Presidents Cup was held this weekend and was well attended. It was a two-day tournament, with Porter Gervais holding on to a two-stroke lead after the first round. Under cloudy skies four players, separated by three shots battled for the lead. In the end, Porter Gervais held off Ryan Dee by one stroke, shooting a combined 148.
The high school junior division was won by Drew Marino, with a 160. The women played 18 holes on Saturday. The winner was Barb Moakler followed by Kara Marino. Junior division winner was Collin Moody.
Congratulation to all winners and players.
