Almost 100 Golfers Take Part in Mixed Invitational

By Pat Payton | St. Marys Independent
Almost 100 golfers competed in sunny conditions, with a little breeze, in the annual Mixed Invitational golf tournament on Saturday, June 28th at the St. Marys Golf and Country Club.
The tournament format was the Modified Chapman system. The Chapman system is the name of a two-person team competition for golfers that works like this:
- Both golfers hit their own drives,
- Then each plays the other's ball for the second shots (and the best of the second shots is selected), and
- From there, the two partners play alternate shots and putts into the hole
The overall gross score winners were Team Marcolini (Andy and Sonja) of Burlington. They shot an even-par 72 (35-37).
The Division ‘A’ winners were Team Clark (Murray and Kathy). They carded a 75 (36-39).
The Division ‘B’ winners were Team Houliston/Peet No. 2. (John Peet and Marion Houliston). They fired an 80 (36-44).
The Division ‘C’ winners were Team Warren (Tom and Lynda) from the St. Marys golf club. They posted an 83 (39-44).
The overall net winners were Team Vermunt (John and Laura). Their net score was 57 after shooting a gross score of 77 (39-38).
