2010 Match Play Champion

This years 2010 Match Play Champion is Paul Hand.


Paul defeated Bob Benefiel, who was the 2009 Match Play Champion. This has been an outstanding year for Paul, as he represented BCGC in the NCGA Zone Tournament, is both the Match Play and the Net Club Championship and is the 2010 Weekend Player of the Year.

According to our historian, Kevin Schultz (Past President) this is the first time in the Weekend Tournament history, that a weekend player has accomplished what Paul Hand has in a single season.

Could Paul be our own Tiger?

Oct 17 & 18, 2010 - Weekend Club Championship

The Weekend BCGC Club Championship results are as follows:

The weather for Saturday was ideal, cool and clear, however Sunday rolled in cold and wet. It rained most of the day. (I am still drying out at this writing, 2 month later). However, Bob Benefiel, Paul Hand and Kevin Schultz brought their 'A' game and played some of the best golf this writer has ever seen under those conditions, I tip my hat to all three. Instead of fighting the wicked rain and wind, they embraced it. Something I will never forget.

MEN
Low Gross Champion - Bob Benefiel 83 - 78 = 161

Net Championship Results :

1st Place - Paul Hand 68-72 =140
2nd Place - Kevin Schultz 73-69= 142
