It came down to the final series of matches before North Halton earned the Senior Ryder Cup title by edging Markland Wood by 19 points versus 17. Tom Kingston, a super senior from North Halton triumphed over Worden Teasdale of Markland Wood to earn the victory. This was North Halton's second win in three years. Last year they lost out by half a point.
Adding even more drama to the day was Markland Wood who earned their spot as a wild card pick. Brampton Golf & Country Club which hosted the final was in tremendous condition in spite of heavy rains the previous evening. Greens Superintendent Martin Kopp and his staff are to be congratulated for a superb job as was team captain Bill Kerr who headed up the Championship day organization for Brampton.
In June, 28 teams from Buffalo to Toronto teed off in seven different divisions to determine a winner in each, and two wild card teams that would play in the Championship. During interdivisional play the matches are two man competition with each club hosting a match. However the final is straight individual match play with 72 players from the 9 clubs battling for the trophy and plaque which is given to the winning team.
In a unique first time scenario, two teams, Summit and St. Catharines from a new division this year, tied with 51 points and played off to determine the winner which was Summit. Wyldewood was only 1 point behind. The other team in the division was Credit Valley.
Final results for the Championship were: North Halton 19, Markland Wood 17, Brampton 15.5, Bridgewater 11.5, Lookout Point 10, Trafalgar 10, River Oaks 9.5, Summit 8.5, Springville 7.
