New Hampshire Wins Tri-States
Tournament Co-Chairs Susan Ginnett and Roberta
Lynch
presentsTri-State trophy to
the New Hampshire president
The usually strong New Hampshire team traveled to Haystack Country Club with one goal in mind and that was to regain the Tri-State trophy after losing it to Vermont last year in Maine. New Hampshire built a substantial lead on day one of the competition with 53 points to Maine's 46.5 and Vermont's 35.5. The New Hampshire team continued their strong play on day two winning the trophy by a wide margin of 36.5 points over Maine and 52 points over Vermont.
In the alternate
shot competition where both players drive on each hole, one ball is selected,
and players alternate shots in to the hole, Vermont usually
manages to start
strong with several teams taking 5 or 6 points. That was not the case
this year as the only team to take more than 4 points was the duo of Andrea
Brown and Kathy Allbright who took all six points. This was Andrea's
first Tri-State competition and she was the bright spot for the Vermont team
as she also took all six points in the individual competition. Kathy
Allbright, a team veteran of 25 years, was another bright spot taking 11.5 out of the 12
points.
This year's tournament was held June 22 & 23 at Haystack Country Club in Wilmington, Vermont near southern Vermont's ski resorts. The photo below is the spectacular view from the 11th tee.
The
highlight of the tournament for the Vermont team may have been the Tuesday
evening BBQ at the home of VSWGA president Elizabeth Walker. Liz very
graciously hosted all three teams (90 people). Here, some Vermonters
chat with Maine players and LIz's dog.
