SNGA Retains the Cup at the 2015 Oliver Cup
12 Seniors from the Southern Nevada Golf Association are playing a Ryder Cup style event versus 12 seniors from the Northern Nevada Golf Association at Hidden Valley Country Club in Reno, Nevada.
The first matches on the morning of August 20 were a 2 person best ball. The SNGA led 4 1/2 points to 1 1/2 points. The afternoon matches are a 2 person Modified Alternate Shot. The NNGA won 4 points to 2 points.
In the final single matches, the NNGA won 6 1/2 to 5 1/2, but a 12 to 12 point final was good enough for a SNGA win. The SNGA won in 2013 in Mesquite, so a tie led to the SNGA retaining the Cup!
Jeff English made a 2 footer in the final match to close out the win for the SNGA. The shot of the tournament went to Frank Abbott in the final singles match. Abbott closed with 3 straight birdies to win 1 up over Jeff McCoy, highlighted by a 30 yard hole out for birdie on the Par 3 17th Hole.
