Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club Wins 2021 Ottawa Valley Golf Association Senior Men’s Intersectionals

Another gorgeous day greeted Ottawa Valley Golf Association senior intersectional players from sixty-three OVGA Member Clubs at seventeen host golf clubs in Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais today.

The John Holzman Trophy, awarded to the winning team in “A” Division of the OVGA Senior Intersectionals, was taken home by the team from the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club in matches played at the Rivermead Golf Club. 

When the Senior Intersectionals were initiated by the OVGA in 1990, the team from the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club was the winner and today’s win is their 6th overall. The only other Club to have won the “A” Intersectional Division more times with sixteen wins is Rivermead.

It looked for the majority of the day that Rivermead and the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club were odds on favourites to win and it took until the final match for players from the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club to breathe a little easier.

The final point totals today were Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club (39), Rivermead Golf Club (36), Camelot Golf & Country Club (23) and Kanata Golf Club (22). In 2022 Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club will host Rivermead, Camelot and the “B” Division winner.

Players from the winning “A” Division team from the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club were Mike Church, Greg Clarke, Ian Davidson, Peter Harrison, Bill Holmes, Ron Jack, Ron Milligan, Gino Petrocco, Mike Ritchie, Brent Rebus, Dave Ross and Dave Shoobert.

Flagstick caught up with Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club Captain Jim Wright after the trophy presentation and asked him for his thoughts on his team’s win.

He responded, “Our guys came through. They played very well and we’re quite proud. We’ll take the trophy back to the Hunt Club and welcome everybody back next year.”

Congratulations to Brian Smith and Wayne Harrison from the Rivermead Golf Club, Dave Ross, Bill Holmes and Peter Harrison from the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club as well as Rob Love from the Kanata Golf Club for taking the maximum six points in their matches.

Congratulations also to everyone who played in the 2021 OVGA Senior Intersectional competition and also to those who tried out for their golf club’s team.
