With the 2023 edition of the NGC Club Championship officially in the books, we’d like to send a wholehearted thank you to all the NGC staff and members who made the weekend a fantastic success. Thank you to Tsehaye for working with the TWGA, SMGA, and MGA to raise this year’s Championship to a new high level for the club. Thank you to Donnee, Seth, and all the pro shop staff’s help throughout the weekend. Thank you to Terry for the great 1st tee announcing. Thank you to Mimi, Germami, and all the clubhouse staff for the food, hospitality, and for making NGC the place we want to spend our best days. Thank you to Jack Sullivan, Vivianne Couts, and James Hsiao for your help bringing together all our NGC golf organizations to make a truly memorable weekend. Finally, thank you to all the members who not only took part in competing but also stayed to enjoy the NGC camaraderie we all love while watching some great golf.
Club Championship Results
Across all of our flights, we saw some fantastic golf and tight battles down the stretch.
In the Women’s Club Championship, Betty Sussmann won the net division in style and Vivianne Couts defended her championship from last year going back-to-back and taking home the 2023 Championship. Vivianne now holds both the Senior Women’s Club Champion and Women’s Club Champion parking spaces!
In the Gold Flight, Jerome Lofton finished off a very impressive weekend at -2 net overall to take the victory by 1 shot over Lloyd “Stim” Stimson who finished at -1 net.
In the National Flight, Mark Matava and Mike Reynard both finished at +4 net to share 1st place honors.
In the Tantallon Flight, Scotty Kimmel captured the well deserved victory coming in at even par net total and edging out Ryan White in a playoff on #1.
Finally, in the Championship Flight, things got very interesting on the 35th hole of the tournament which left Scott Redmond with a 2-shot lead over Patrick Escalambre on #18 tee. With the 2023 title on the line, Scott hit his tee shot to the front fringe and, like a true champion, chipped in for a 2 to close out the Club Championship in style. Great finish and enjoy the parking spot sir!
Well played and congratulations to all our 2023 Champions!

Men’s Night 9/14: Net & Gross, White & Blue — Front 9
For Men’s Night this week, we’ll be applying our standard weekend tournament scoring system to Men’s Night scores. Both Net & Gross leaderboards will be used to determine final result standings for stroke play on the Front 9. Wherever a player places best (net or gross) is the final Men’s Night leaderboard position they’ll take for Chase Points distribution.
This week, players may play White or Blue tees (or Gold for Rule of 75 players whose Age + Handicap >= 75) as practice for the Club Championship. Net and gross scores will be tallied for all players regardless of tee selection. For players playing Blue or Gold tees, please note (Blue) or (Gold) next to your name on your scorecard (unmarked cards will be assumed to be white tees) and record gross scores for all holes.
