At nineteen degrees Celsius last Sunday at Copetown Woods golf course, twenty-seven players made the trek to this western part of Hamilton where most of the players wanted to get familiarized with this venue as this is the very same venue where GTA Interleague event is going to be held hosted by SOGA organization on a Saturday, two weeks from now. Most players discovered that this course was not quite as challenging as previously compared to other golf venues picked by different GTA host organizations. An enchanted Fred Halili enjoyed playing this course with a net of 70. Fact of the matter is, if Fred can duplicate this same feat in the coming GTA event, we are in for a huge surprise. If you remember when SGC got the GTA trophy three years ago, it was Sam Kim who delivered the lowest net score of that event. And yes, Sam’s exploit was instrumental in giving SGC their first GTA Championship trophy.

Entering this week’s Super Series, there were nineteen entrants so far. Also culminating is the run for the monthly awards.

In the aftermath of last week’s gross score of 83 at Lakeridge, Jimmy Manguerra couldn’t script a better ending this time around. Last week was just a dress rehearsal for him for this Sunday at Copetown golf course. Jimmy gave himself a pat in the back with a whopping gross score of 4 under 68. Less is more, I guessed. With that spectacular 3 under at the front and one under at the back, no one came close to prevent him from winning the day prize. He captured the Nassau front & total net score together with an eagle on par 5 first hole.

Nassau back nine was shared by Bert Cerrudo and Seho Oh.
