On Tuesday, September 6, sixteen Ottawa Valley Golf Association (OVGA) golf clubs hosted Senior Men’s Intersectional competitions at their clubs. Over 600 players participated on 63 clubs throughout the Ottawa Valley in a match play format.
It was a close finish in the “A” Division of the Ottawa Valley Golf Association Senior Intersectionals held at the Outaouais Golf Club in Rockland, but the home team emerged victorious by 2 strokes over the three-time defending Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club team. The Outaouais victory march actually started at the Hunt Club last year when Outaouais found out they would be hosting this year. An OVGA rule states that a team can only host for two consecutive years and the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club Team had reached their limit. Outaouais vice-captain Paul Brule told his team that since Outaouais was hosting, “I’ll be the Club Captain and next year will be our year.” Perhaps a little presumptuous on his part but maybe just the incentive his team needed. “We have a very strong senior team”, said Mr. Brule. “We also have great camaraderie.” Mr. Brule also indicated that it was nice to have home course advantage and the support of numerous spectators.
After five of the eight matches had been completed Outaouais held a 9 point lead over Hylands and a 12 point lead over The Hunt Club. With one match left on the course, Outaouais was down to a five point lead over Ottawa Hunt with Chris Jones from the Hunt Club already in the clubhouse with 6 points as he closed out his matches early. That meant that Yvan Davidson from Outaouais had to finish with at least two points for the team win or 1 point for a tie with Ottawa Hunt. A sigh of relief from the Outaouais team and supporters took place when Mr. Davidson brought home three out of possible four points.
With their win, Outaouais will host in 2012 the Ottawa Hunt and Hylands Golf Club teams who finished second and third with 31 and 24 points respectfully. Joining them will be the Camelot Golf Club team which was victorious in Division “B”. The Rivermead Golf Club team which finished in fourth place will move down to the “B” Division competition being played at Carleton Golf & Yacht Club in 2012.
Six point winners for winning all of their matches were Rene ‘Rocky’ Rochette, Marc Davidson, Paul Brule and Pierre Arial from Outaouais, Brian Kelahear, Mike Gerrior and Chris Jones from the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club and Neill Colbert from Hylands.
The “John Holzman Trophy” was presented to Outaouais team captain Paul Brule by the OVGA Intersectional sponsor and Publisher of Flagstick Golf Magazine Jeff Bauder. Members of the winning Outaouais Intersectional Team were Ross Contant, Lloyd Smith, Guy Saint-Pierre, Rene Rochette, Marc Davidson, Paul Brule, Pierre Arial, Rupert Larocque, Larry Lucas and Yvan Davidson.
