Region Update

Central – If Ron Cox wins any more USGTF region championships, we may have to name a trophy after him. Cox, from Nashville, Tennessee, did it again when he won this year’s Central Region Championship, held at Walden Ponds Golf Course outside Cincinnati, Ohio. He defeated Central Region director Tony McMullin in a one-hole playoff to secure the title.

This victory goes along with Cox’s Southeast Championship crown from earlier this year, along with numerous other region and U.S. Cup division titles. Cox, who is in his 70s, continues to impress with his fine play and has proven the adage that golf is, indeed, a game for a lifetime.

Northeast – Stephen Winn from Middle Island, New York, won the USGTF Northeast Region Championship when he outlasted the field with a 76. Gerald Ecker, also from New York, finished second with a 79. Play was contested in three divisions, and Peter Palmisano won the 70+ division. The tournament was held at Mercer Oaks Golf Course in Princeton Junction, New Jersey.
