11 teams battled at Chardonnay Golf Club for the opportunity to represent OCGC at the NCGA Associate Club Championship. The tournament was a tale of 2 courses: the more difficult Meadows course played much easier under overcast skies but with fairly benign conditions. As the clouds disappeared and the sun came out, the winds picked up making the conditions much more difficult. The easier Vineyards course played much tougher with 2-club winds seemingly on every hole.
In the end, the team of Mike Chee, Clem Leung, David Yip and Joe Young repeated as defending champs by edging out a 1-stroke victory over the team of Nicholas Chin, Kenny Fong, Tom Soohoo and Alan Whiteside. Under the best 2 balls format, the “dream team” shot a blistering 14 under par (net 58) on the front 9 and hung on to win with a 3 under par (net 69) on the back 9. Congratulations to Mike, Clem, David and Joe, and may they represent us well at the NCGA qualifier. The results as follows:
