Congratulations to Team Wilson, Vigneault, Maloney and Juknavorian as they win the second half championship by one point. They will face the same team they played ending the season, Team Trottier, Marnie, Duzenli and Serafino for the Grand Championship.
This week was awful close as we all hung around the 19th hole to see what the final pairing of Maloney vs Duzenli would bring in. Well to a big surprise by everyone it was awful close. Going into the final week team Wilson was up by two points and McGill’s team was nipping at their heels.
Wilson played even up against Trottier and Trottier wins going away 14-6. Trottier has played a lot of golf this year and has played fairly well to boot. Wilson has only played sparingly and will the long layoff from playing week to week hamper his efforts tomorrow.
George Vigneault playing great golf this year tripped up Jim Marnie 11-9. Marnie had a double bogey on the 12th and 14th hole and a quadruple bogey on the 15th hole was Marnie’s demise. Vigneault is a machine.
Rich Juknavorian took on Vinny Serafino and Juke leading the MVP honors for the 2nd half needed to play well as Acciard was right behind him wanting to take it away from Juke. Juke just did not play well and Serafino cruised 14-6. Sorry Juke there will always be next year.
We all were hanging around the 19th hole waiting patiently for Rick Maloney and Erkan Duzenli to finish their match. Rumors floated around that Maloney was playing great and won 13-7. When Erkan came in and Maloney was all smiles I knew it wasn’t good. Sure enough Maloney won 13-7 and our team lost by one point. Congrats to Team Wilson for an exciting finish to an exciting year.
So, tomorrow September 18th Team Wilson will face Team Trottier for the 2011 Wilderness Championship. With our new scoring system this all these 18 hole matches will be close.
The weather will be chilly and this match is too close to call. May the best team win.
