Memorial Cup Results
In the Net Division, we had an amazingly competitive battle that came down to the final holes. When all the strokes had been tallied, 4 players—Andrew Neill, Dan Ryan, Ed Clarke, and Kevin Gates—ended at +2 net to share T-2nd honors and, finishing at even par net, Matt Nolan took home the well deserved victory.
