DeBok Championship: Version #21
The 21st edition of the Robert DeBok Memorial Championship is now history. This year we used a 2-day, 36-hole team scramble format for the first time. Judging from the number of participants, this was a popular change. For the first nineteen years the championship used an individual medal play format. While popular in the early years of the championship, the number of golfers playing each year continued declining. While the last year’s change to combined scramble, team aggregate helped, this year’s format resulted in the most golfers we have had in the championship since 2013.

As in past years, we divided the participants into four nearly equal sized groups based on handicap. With a team event the groups were determined by the total handicap of the two golfers. As a result, we have four champion teams, one for each group. Group #1 (lowest handicap): Jeff Hamilton and Brett Verus, Group #2: Dan Huffman and Dale Huffman, Group #3: Patrick Tolsma and Mike Soltys, Group #3: Dave Wysocki and Mark Schwallier. In addition to the champions, we had one other highlight. Tom Villemure had this season’s fourth hole-in-one. It came on hole #12 on The Pines on Thursday. If you are familiar with that hole, we can be sure that Tom did not know he had hit a perfect shot until he reached the green.
The results from DeBok Championship are now available.
