DOMINION GOLF by Kyle O’Brien, Director of Golf, Dominion Country Club
THE 2017 DOMINION CUP IS A WRAP The 2017 Dominion Cup is a wrap and what an exciting weekend it was. The golf was great, the food was delicious, and the competition was extremely close. It all started Friday night with the pairings party. We had great food, camaraderie, and posted some matches that were sure to make the weekend exciting. After day one the Blue team held a one point lead at 10.5 to 9.5. The Green team with Defending captain Michael Kaylor would need to secure 10.5 points on day two to retain the cup. The Green team was off to a good start closing out several matches early. As the day progressed both teams were at a dead split with the fate resting on 4 remaining matches on the course. As the pressure mounted the Blue team was able to secure the winning point with only 2 matches left on the course. The final total of 20.5 to 19.5 goes to the Blue Team (picture below) for this year’s victory. Congratulations Team Blue and a special THANK YOU to ALL who participated in this year’s event!
2017 Championship Team
“NEW” SUNSET STAKES HOW IT WORKS Each week we will host a blind draw (A,B,C,D) 9-hole scramble event. Teams will compete and the top finishers each week will be paid out in pro shop credit. In addition, teams will be competing for their chance at the “Powerball Pot”. POWERBALL POT Every Thursday there is an additional Team Skins game. If a team gets a skin on a given hole, they will have a chance to draw for the “Powerball Pot”. For example, if a team has a skin on #5, they will have a chance to draw the #5 out of a jar with numbers 1-9 in it. If the number is drawn, the team wins the pot. If a different number is drawn then there is not a winner and all “Powerball” monies will roll over to the following week. The pot will be capped at $2000 and once that happens, only previous Sunset Stakes contestants will be able to enter until the pot is won.
