On August 23rd, the ORFs (Maketewah’s Senior Golfer Group) played the 10th Anniversary Match for the EBERON-AVONDALE CUP againt the Western Hills CC Sneior Team. This was hosted by in rotation at Maketewah this year with two player teams from each club in a “Best Ball” match Play format which resulted in a 10-8 Victory for our team. The cup Trophy is retained and on display in our men’s locker room.

Golfers for the ORF team were Bob Smith/Vance Brand, Jim DeVanney/Skip Allen, Mark Hiltz/John Earls, Roger Lanham/Mike McNamara, Steve Keller/Larry Kissel, Beaman Ayers/Bill Stratmann, and Todd Kofler/Tom McCloy. The individual skill contests were won by:

CONGRATULATIONS to all participants! We look forward to play this match next year at Western Hills. ELBERON was the original name of Western Hills and AVONDALE GC was the beginning of Maketewah. These two clubs played similar matches in the 1901-1905 era and made the news!

The ORF group is open to all Maketewah members of age 50+. They play on Tuesdays and Thursdays 10am with Nassau, Stableford Shamble and Guest games. All handicaps are welcomed. If interested in joining in to keep the tradition (since 1985) going, check with Chad or Ian in the pro-shop for referral to the committee.
