Today, Greenfield Mens Club successfully defended their Ryder Cup title on their home turf at Greenfield Park Golf Course in convincng fashion with 13 points. The other 5 teams all earned 8 or 8.5 points. Despite a hot and windy day, Greenfield Park was in excellent condition and some great golf was played, and although Greenfield won in convincing fashion, most matches were hard fought and pretty evenly matched. Thanks to our Greenfield hosts for putting on an excellent event, and special thanks to Jim Sell, Steve Grusczynski, and Greenfield Pro Ben Ghia for setting up the pairings and running the event without a hitch.
