It was a chilly but beautiful day for the final round of our Handicap Championship at South Hampton. After 18 holes of match play, the shootout started on hole #13, a par 5 where the 4 finalists, Younghee Lee, Maria Ayala, Debra McDermott, and Barb Jacobi, battled it out. Debra rose to the top after scoring a par with a stroke. Congratulations to all of our finalists and our bracket winners. The spectators who followed the finalists helped make the shootout a memorable experience for all.
In our NIT Division, hats off to Jeri Roche who shot a gross score of 76. Way to go Jeri!! Please visit our website to view all results, points and purse payouts.
