For those who missed my recap at a recent DMA meeting, the DMA – SMCNC (Senior Men’s Club of New Canaan) Golf Tournament was held at the Silvermine Golf Club on June 18, 2014. This is the third year in a row that this golf tournament between the two men’s organizations has been held. After losing the inaugural match in 2012, DMA has won the last two matches and the Silvermine Challenge trophy by identical 18.5 to 11.5 scores. Our own Terry Brewer won the Long Drive Contest for the second year in a row.
I am particularly grateful to the following players who willingly made themselves available to play on the DMA team:
- Tom Haack
- Jim Kelly
- David Mace
- Bob Baker
- Peter Carnes
- Alex Garnett
- George Gilliam
- Austin Schraff
- Tom Hayne
- Ron Kahan
- Mike Brennan
- Tom Reifenheiser
- Kevin Monahan
- Doug Campbell
- Joe Holmes
- Terry Brewer
- Jim Crane
- Fred Conze
- Chris Filmer.
DMA has a strong golf team when our best players are able to participate. Last-minute cancellations were kept at a minimum which made my job as Captain much easier.
I am grateful as well to Alex Garnett – our Chief Talent Scout and Recruiter. Kudos to Ben Briggs who made time to travel around the course to cheer on the team.
Harvey Place, my counterpart at SMCNC, and I arranged to have the foursomes sit together which enhanced the interaction and camaraderie between the two groups. This is a spirited yet friendly competition. Hopefully, we can continue to schedule this annual golf tournament between DMA and SMCNC for many more years.
