blue and yellow? 2:00pm? is it going to rain all day? were just some of the questions pondered in a down pour while SVCC & BCC members practiced prior to the start of the 3rd annual Inter-club Championship held at the Bernardsville Country Club on a day that had flash flood warnings in effect. and when the final component of this four on four battle arrived from his dangerous trip, through that same horrible weather (3:20pm to be exact) the rain began to dissipate and the anticipation began to grow. this event, which had been canceled the first time by (you guessed it) heavy rains and twice more postponed by scheduling difficulties, was finally going to happen
the BCC team of assistant capt. mike rosenberg., pete”the eagle”johnson, jeff dreitlein and capt. G were ready to wrestle away the Quantus Certaminus from the favored SVCC, their two time Inter-club championship team consisted of capt. billy jo auld, robert auld, tony d’anna and derek schultz. the first round best ball matches began the battle that would become the war of the first two rounds, a seesaw contest that pitted the SVCC power house team of billy jo and 2009 SVCC Steeplechase winner derek, against the BCC groundskeeper and jeff. a competition decided by inches, the best ball match was halved and the alternate shot match was won with a birdie on the final hole (#8 barns window 111yds) by the SVCC after the BCC attempt rolled through the hoop, by inches i might add. “jeff hit some great shots, kept us in it”, said G. on the other side, mike and pete were not having their best day against the strong team of tony and robert who were both playing well. well. behind the 8 ball. singles matches, down 6 to 2. jeff was thrown to the wolfs (derek) and lost, no surprise. pete surprised us with a win over robert. G won a high powered showdown over tony (w/ 6 birdies), no surprise. mike surprised us with his play and loss to billy jo. but the Steeple View Country Club team was ready, willing and able to defend it’s championship and once again retain the coveted Quantus Certaminus, no surprise. SVCC 10 / BCC 6
