2019 MEN'S CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS Congratulations to our 2019 Men’s Club Champion, Mr. Scott Stevens! We had 11 players in the Championship Flight of the Men’s Club Championship. Those players played two rounds of stroke play last Friday and Saturday trying to advance into the match play portion of the tournament.  Our four finalists were Mr. Morgan Campbell (147), Mr. Robert Crean (149), Mr. Scott Stevens (149), and Mr. Matt Berndt (151). The match play portion of the competition saw our #4 seed, Mr. Matt Berndt, defeat our #1 seed, Mr. Morgan Campbell, on the 18th hole. Mr. Robert Crean, fell to Mr. Scott Stevens in their match leaving Stevens and Berndt to battle it out for the Championship. Mr. Berndt was up 2 going into the back 9 as a gallery began to follow their match.  The match would go back and forth throughout the back 9, until the players arrived on the 18th tee box all square. Both players were looking at birdie putts on the 18th green. Berndt would putt first and had the line the entire time coming up just short with a tap in par. Stevens drained his putt winning the match and his first Club Championship!    We had a total of 11 plyers in the Flighted division of the Club Championship, who also played two rounds of stroke play on Friday and Saturday.  Those players were split into two flights based on handicap. In the 1st Flight (Blue Tee) our top 4 players were Mr. Stephen McDonnold (151), Mr. Michael Sayre (160), Mr. Rusty Robison (164) and Mr. Todd Fierman (179).  Mr. Stephen McDonnold would defeat Mr. Michael Sayre in the final match to capture the win in the 1st Flight. The top 4 in the 2nd Flight (White Tee) were Mr. Leonard Theis (173), Mr. Garry Swearingen (174), Mr. Pete Stemniski (182) and Mr. Avery Wood (183).  Mr. Avery Wood won the 2nd Flight defeating Mr. Pete Stemniski in the final match.

Thank you to all who participated in this year’s Men’s Club Championship!
