Event Summary

128 golfers, representing sixteen SRC member clubs, competed for the Art Stead Trophy, emblematic of the Senior Ryder Cup Championship, on September 188h and September 19th at the Lookout Point Country Club in Fonthill (www.lookoutpointcc.com).  This was the 23rd edition of the Championship and was played with the bent grass greens (with some poa annua) stimping at 11 and receptive fairways in play on the spectacular piece of property surrounded by mature trees at the top of the Niagara Escarpment.

On Day two they almost ran the table by earning 23 of a possible 24 points for a total of 42 points and a comfortable 10-point win over second place Vespra Hills Golf Club who finished with 32 points.
