13 TH ONE DAY CHAMPIONSHIP Shennecossett Golf Course Groton, Conn. October 14 E EACH YEAR, the state’s top amateur golfers make a final trip to Groton, Conn. for the season-ending One Day Championship at Shennecossett Golf Course. The 6,562 yard, par 71 Donald Ross layout is the annual home of the Championship and a favorite spot on the One Day schedule. Players earn the right to compete in the final event by attaining a top-five finish in any of the CSGA’s twelve One Day tournaments throughout the season. In the Tettelbach (under fifty-five years of age) Division, Addison Owens of the Washington Club recovered from a rocky start to claim medalist honors. Owens racked up six birdies on the back nine for a score of 41-30-71 and a one shot victory over Richard Malafronte of Hunter Golf Club. By match of cards Scott Emigh of Fenwick Golf Club won the Net Division of the Tettelbach Division with a score of 69 over Martin Santacroce of Alling Memorial Golf Club, who also recorded a net score of 69. In the Siderowf (fifty-five years of age or older) Division, Gene Cufone of Alling Memorial fired a twounder par 69 in a round that included four birdies and two bogeys. At 71, two strokes behind Cafone and tied for runner-up honors were Bill Torza of Wethersfield Country Club and Reverend William Lee of the Golf Course at Yale. For Rev. Lee, a 71 year-old three-time Connecticut Amateur champion, the round marked yet another occasion where the Connecticut Golf Hall of Fame inductee shot his age. In the Net Division of the Siderowf, Joe Dancsak, Sr. of Quarry Ridge Golf Course led the way with a remarkable net score of 61, two better than James Ryder, Jr. of Great Neck Country Club who fired 63. The Connecticut State Golf Association thanks all of the golf clubs who hosted tournaments this season, and the golfers and volunteers who helped make 2014 a record breaking year for participation in the CSGA One Day Series Sponsored by Chris Cote’s Golf Shop.
