The Seneca Course Championship was contested on wet grounds, which proved to be challenging for some while others were able to attack certain pin locations. For the second year in a row the event was held on the Baldwin / Chippewa combination. The Baldwin course played almost two strokes higher on average, as competitors put forth much effort with the goal to qualify for the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship.
Jimmy Wild & AJ Borisa turned in impressive rounds of 1-over par (73) respectively. The sudden death playoff set out.
On the first hole of Baldwin, both players struck great drives down the left side and ended up within feet of each other. AJ played first and his 70-yard approach shot was just short of the green but on the top lip of the bunker left of the green. Jimmy was able to capitalize and place his approach five feet past the flag, which stuck on soft greens.
AJ gave his 15-foot chip great effort but saw it miss within inches. Jimmy was able to step up confidently and make his birdie to take the victory.
As the final scores were tallied, 12 non-exempt players were set to make GCAC at Manakiki Golf Course on August 14-15. The final few scorecards that were turned in moved the needle just enough to put the cut at 77. Congrats to all players who were able to qualify for next month’s championship.
A large thank you to General Manager Dave Donner and his maintenance team, who were able to get the course in great condition after three inches of rain within the last 24 hours.
Thank you for all that participated in the Seneca Course Championship.
