Neshobe Golf Course, Brandon, VT
Tuesday and Wednesday, July 13 & 14
Congratulations to our 2021 Senior Champion, Andrea Brown of Champlain Country Club!
Andrea lead the field after the first round, and proceeded to stay loose through a 45 minute weather delay in order to finish with a one-stroke lead over a trio of competitors, finishing with a two-round total of 158. After 36 holes, there was a three-way tie at 159 for second between Kristin Mahoney of Neshobe Golf Club, Becky Montgelas of Ekwanok Country Club, and Reggie Parker of Ekwanok Country Club. In front of a large gallery of VSWGA members, the three moved to an exciting play-off on hole 18 where Kristin Mahoney blasted her second shot onto the green and sunk a lengthy putt for a birdie to take the Runner-Up trophy. Montgelas finished in third, and Parker took fourth. Rounding out the top five was the 2020 Senior winner, Jeanne Morrissey from Williston Golf Club, shooting a 160.
Consistent play put Nicole Laberge of Ralph Myhre Golf Course in the lead for net scores with a two-day net total of +1. Second net was claimed by Denise Barnard of Williston Golf Club with +3. By a match of cards, third net was won by Ellen Miller of Rutland Country Club with +4, fourth net was Trish Wade of Green Mountain National Golf Course with +4 and fifth net was Patty McGrath, also of Green Mountain National Golf Course with +4.
The Legend Division winner was Reggie Parker with 159, and the Super Senior Division winner was Mary Jane Shomo, shooting a 174.
The Pat Job Team Cup was won by the consistently strong Williston Golf Club Team, and second was taken by the the ladies of Champlain Country Club.
There is always a heavily contested Putting Contest the first day of the Seniors, and this year didn’t disappoint. After a four-way tie at the end of Round 1 between Cathy Neff of Vermont National Country Club, Susie Bremner of Rocky Ridge Golf Club, Tallu Meade of Haystack Golf Course and Thelma Pearson of Dorset Field Club, the play-off for the title was contested during Round 2. When the scores were tallied, the winner by two strokes was Thelma Pearson.
