Home Sports Solomon victorious in Inaugural Bruster’s Real Ice Cream & Qualitea Café Cup...
On Saturday, players and spectators were treated to a great morning of golf at the Lusignan Golf Club. The competition was intense as players vied to have their names etched onto the first annual Bruster’s Real Ice Cream & Qualitea Café Cup.
Maurice Solomon stormed out the gates and never looked back. He posted a first-half best net score of 3-under par 32, and kept it going on the back nine to fend off a strong challenge from veteran low handicapper Richard Haniff, who finished one shot back. Haniff’s solid play would have earned him first on most afternoons especially on such a challenging course set-up. The greens were smooth and lightning fast which required soft putting hands and quiet nerves.
The morning round with the very fast true greens seemed perfectly suited for the soft touch of veteran golfer Solomon. He went under par on both front and back 9 to cap off a great morning and gain the honour of forever being the first to etch his name on the Bruster’s Real Ice Cream & Qualitea Café Cup.
This was a most gratifying win for Solomon. Other top performers included a strong second-place showing by Haniff and Tom Watkins who won the best gross and closest to the pin prizes.
The full list of winners:
• 1st. Maurice Solomon: Net 66, Gross 88
• 2nd. Richard Haniff: Net 67, Gross 78
• 3rd. Ronald Bulkan: Net 70, Gross 90
