Best of luck to everyone teeing it up tomorrow.
It all comes down to Danny Riley vs. 2024 Champion Owen Love for the 2026 Men’s Club Championship.
Riley earned the No. 4 seed with a 75 in qualifying before defeating four-time champion Rob Menefee, 5 & 4, and 2023 Champion Teddy Zinser, 1 up. In the semifinals, he took down defending champion Brandon Cigna on the first playoff hole, rolling in a birdie to secure his spot in the final.
Love claimed the No. 3 seed with a one-under 71 and opened match play with a 6 & 4 win over Mike Reinke. His next match against Jason Fisher went all the way to 23 holes, where Love drove the green on the par-4 5th and two-putted for birdie to close out the marathon match. He followed that with a commanding 7 & 5 semifinal win over David Bender.
Tomorrow, Riley and Love meet with the title on the line. Best of luck to both finalists.
In the Ladies Club Championship, last year’s semifinal matchup is back—this time with the title on the line.
Alina Menefee, the youngest Ladies Club Champion in Belle Haven history, will take on Mimi Hoffman, one of the area’s most accomplished senior golfers. Hoffman’s résumé includes three VSGA Senior Women’s Golfer of the Year honors, the 47th VSGA Women’s Senior Amateur title, and an extensive list of accomplishments throughout her career.
Two accomplished competitors, one championship. Best of luck to Alina and Mimi as they battle for the 2026 Ladies Club Championship.
In the Ladies Senior Club Championship, it comes down to Kay Tyler vs. Nancy Duncan—two accomplished golfers with impressive résumés and plenty of great golf ahead.
Both players received quarterfinal byes before taking care of business in the semifinals. Tyler defeated Helen Cox, 5 & 4, while Duncan advanced with a 3 & 2 victory over Ann Etter.
With the championship now on the line, this should be a fun and
