Golf Club at Bear Dance – The Colorado Section PGA professionals tried to use home course advantage to avenge last year’s sweep by the CGA amateurs in the 32nd Descente Colorado Cup Matches held at the new home of the Colorado PGA, The Golf Club at Bear Dance. The professionals and the amateurs each fielded a team of twelve players in both the Open Division and the Senior Division, and for the first time, the Colorado Women’s Golf Association amateurs went head to head with the female Colorado Section professionals each fielding a six-player team. Each year, the winning association takes possession of the Colorado Cup in each division. Both of the men’s spent the last year in the CGA’s offices, and this is the first year for the women’s.
In the Men’s Open Division, the professionals pulled out to a 4-2 lead in the morning’s four-ball matches. They continued the domination by taking the singles matches 9 1/2 to 2 1/2, taking back the Colorado Cup by a final score of 13 1/2 to 4 1/2. The win brings the Open Division total to 22-8-2 in favor of the professionals.
In the Men’s Senior Division, the amateurs won four of the six four-ball matches, and added to that lead by winning 7 1/2 to 4 1/2 in the singles matches to retain the senior Colorado Cup by a final score of 11 1/2 to 6 1/2. The amateurs now lead the professionals 11-7-2 over the 20 years that the Senior Division has been a part of the Colorado Cup Matches.
In the inaugural Women’s Division, the CWGA amateurs jumped out to a 2 1/2 – 1/2 lead over the professionals in the morning four-ball matches. The amateurs went on to take the singles matches 4 to 2 to win the first ever women’s Colorado Cup by a total score of 6 1/2 to 2 1/2.
