BERKELEY HALL GOLF
s we start another year here at Berkeley Hall, we look to celebrate 20 years of the North Course. Time seems to be flying by, as we gear up for 2021 on both the courses, filled with many great events. We eagerly anticipate another USGA event (the first
since 2005) here at Berkeley Hall with the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship coming to play in September. It is a great honor for the Club to host a USGA event and sure to be an exciting time for Berkeley Hall. We start our season with the Berkeley
Cup in late February, followed by the Mixed Member-Member in March, and the Member-Member in April. We hope that support for the Club tournaments continue as we saw in the Fall of 2020. It’s great to see so many members playing in the events and here’s to a great 2021!
TOURNAMENT RESULTS MEMBER-MEMBER
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
CLUB CHALLENGE
The 2020 Member-Member was postponed from its original Spring date, but as November rolled around, we had two fabulous days of weather to play the event. Both the courses were playing excellently in the Fall sunshine, and we had a fabulous turnout with 118 members playing for the trophies and bragging rights. We had some great scores across all the flights throughout the event, but it was the defending champions in both the Men’s and Ladies’ divisions that took home the trophies once again: Men: Pat Annessa & Avery Cleland Ladies: Linda Gettings & Karen Cram
The 2020 Club Championship was played in its usual November spot. All divisions were tightly contested with some great scores throughout. Congratulations to our 2020 Club Champions below: Ladies’ Club Champion: Lanlan Sun Ladies’ Senior Club Champion: Maggie Leef Ladies’ Super-Senior Champion: Lynn McQuay Men’s Club Champion: Will Voetsch Men’s Senior Club Champion: Henry Marini Men’s Super-Senior Champion: Bill Barnett
It was a great three days for the 2020 Club Challenge back at the start of December. That week started out a little frosty, but the temperatures warmed up as did the golf. The team of Ian Harrison, Jeff Morton, William Oberg & Gary Temush (Marshfield CC) had a superb final day to race up the leaderboard and take the trophy!

From sweatshirts in the winter to short shorts in the summer, I just want to remind all of our members about Berkeley Hall’s golf attire policy. 13.5.1.1. Men: Shirts with collars, turtlenecks
