Team SGL wins inaugural match play competition…..
The golf Gods were with us for
the first Cup Challenge between the Valley Golf Association and the Saturday Golf League at the Gainey Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale.
The 16 Ryder Cup type matches were closely contested; with the SGL taking home the Cup. Captains Tom Hecocks and Dave Dean were both
pleased with how this first of hopefully many future events turned out and with a few tweaks should be bigger and better next time.
Outstanding performances were put together by Danny Campos of the VGA and Dan Gallegos of the SGL who easily won their matches.
The SGL gets the right to hold “The Cup” until the next competition and also to pick next year’s venue.

AZ Golf News - AGA Senior Cup Series Champions
Congratulations to Kim Snyder and Richard
Carroll, the overall 2013 Senior Series Cup Champions.
The Senior Series
(55 and older) consists of 11 one-day two-person four ball (better ball)
tournaments from May to September played at courses throughout the
state. Teams are flighted and are awarded points for their finish in
each event. At the end of the season, those with the top points are
invited to the series ending championship. The nice thing about this
series is that players can play with different partners and still
accumulate points. This year's championship was hosted by Pinnacle Peak
Country on September 10. Teams barely beat the deluge of rain that began
just minutes before teams completed their rounds.
