ROUGH RIDERS GOLF CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TRIP – TEAM PLAY ROUND 2 RECAP

📍 Baywood Greens Golf Course | Long Neck, Delaware | October 6th

What a way to close out the Rough Riders Golf Club team event and put the finishing touches on an outstanding year of golf! Day 2 brought us to the beautiful Baywood Greens in Southern Delaware, a course that is arguably the best in the area and an incredible venue for our season-ending competition.

From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. The starter welcomed us with a simple but memorable greeting: “Welcome to Paradise!” And that certainly set the tone for the day! Between the incredible course conditions, beautiful surroundings, and an amazing staff that made us feel welcome from start to finish, Baywood Greens delivered a first-class experience all around. A huge thank-you to their entire team for helping make the day so enjoyable!

🏌️‍♂️ Day 2: The Skins Game

With the first day in the books, it was time to settle in for the final round and put some points on the board. Day 2 featured a skins-style team competition, where each player went head-to-head against a like-skilled opponent, with the opportunity to earn valuable points for their team.

Day 2 Team Results:

🔥 Team Fermane Joe: 4.5 points
💪 Team Brian Vitolo: 2.5 points
⛳ Team Andrew Miller: 2 points
Pins: Glen Mawby (2), Robert Howardell

Team Fermane came out strong on Day 2, Team Vitolo put together a solid showing, and Team Miller did just enough to keep their overall lead intact. But, as we all know, this event is about more than just one day's results!

🏆 Final Two-Day Team Championship Standings

ROUGH RIDERS GOLF CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TRIP – TEAM PLAY ROUND 1 RECAP

📍 Rum Pointe Seaside Golf Links | October 5th | Ocean City, Maryland

After two days of battling rain, heavy downpours, and strong winds, the Rough Riders finally caught a break from Mother Nature! 🙌 Day three of our four-day golf trip brought some much-needed sunshine and a welcome change in conditions at Rum Pointe Seaside Golf Links, just outside Ocean City, Maryland.

With the individual club championship officially in the books and Joe Fermane crowned our new club champion, Day three marked the start of the two-day Rough Riders Team Event! The competition kicked off with a Team Shamble, giving everyone a chance to work together while still putting their individual games to the test.

Here's how it worked:
🏌️ Each team played together off the tee, with every player hitting a drive.
🎯 The team selected the best drive among its players.
⛳ From that chosen drive, each player played their own ball for the remainder of the hole.
🤝 Team scores were used to compete for points on the front nine, back nine, and overall round. Leading the teams into battle were three Rough Riders ready to guide their squads to victory:

🔵 Captain Fermane Joe
🔴 Captain Andrew Miller
🟢 Captain Brian Vitolo

The stakes were simple: the winning team (two net scores combined per hole) on the front nine earned 2 points, the winning team on the back nine earned 2 points, and the team with the best overall result earned another 2 points.

NET RESULTS:
Team Fermane 70-66=136
Team Miller 66-58=124
Team Vitolo 66-64=130

PINS: Fermane (2), Robert Howardell, A Miller

Team Miller and Team Vitolo split the two points on the front nine and Team Miller won both points on the back nine and total score. Nine points are up for grabs on day two with individual skins matches.

TEAM STANDINGS AFTER DAY ONE:
Fermane 0
Miller 5
Vitolo 1

Stay tuned for the day two team recap and the final results of the Rough Riders Team Event!

ROUGH RIDERS GOLF CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 2 RECAP

October 4th | The Links at Lighthouse Sound | Ocean City, Maryland

Day Two of the Rough Riders Golf Club Championship brought another challenging day on the links as the group made its way to the beautiful Links at Lighthouse Sound, just outside Ocean City, Maryland. Unfortunately, the weather that greeted us on Day One decided to stick around for the second day of our four-day golf trip, and things only got tougher as the round progressed!

What started as moderate rain eventually turned into heavy downpours, with strong winds making an already difficult course even more challenging. The conditions were about as unpleasant as they get for a day of golf. In fact, we had the entire course to ourselves, giving us plenty of room to battle the elements without worrying about anyone else on the course.

The combination of rain, wind, and tough playing conditions proved to be too much for several players, who were unable to complete their rounds. With the championship portion of the trip coming to a close, players were permitted to use their full handicaps on the final day of championship play, adding another element to the competition as everyone fought to finish strong.

🏆 YOUR NEW ROUGH RIDERS CLUB CHAMPION: JOE FERMANE! 🏆

After two days of championship golf, Fermane Joe emerged at the top of the leaderboard with a two-day total of 147, earning the title of Rough Riders Golf Club Champion! Congratulations to Joe on putting together two solid rounds and bringing home the championship despite the miserable weather conditions.

The race for the top spots was tight, with Keith Nelson finishing just two strokes behind Joe and Dave Demarest only three strokes off the lead.

The 2026 Rough Riders Golf Club Championship officially got underway on October 3rd at Heritage Shores in southern Delaware, kicking off four days of golf, competition, camaraderie, and the pursuit of championship bragging rights! Thousands of dollars up for grabs over the four day stretch! 🏌️‍♂️🔥

The group couldn't have asked for a much tougher start from Mother Nature. Heavy rain greeted the players early in the day, making for some challenging conditions before things eventually settled into an overcast afternoon.

Heritage Shores turned out to be a real gem! The course was beautiful, offered a great setting for the opening round, and proved to be an underrated golf destination that deserves plenty of recognition. Add in an amazing staff that made the group feel welcome, and Heritage Shores delivered a fantastic venue to begin this year's championship. 👏

This year's competition also brings an interesting twist right from the opening round. Like last year, players began the championship with a percentage of their handicap determined by their regular-season finish, rewarding performance throughout the season while setting the stage for an exciting battle over the next two days. With adjusted handicaps in play and plenty of golf remaining, every shot matters!

One day down, three to go! Let the battle for the Rough Riders Golf Club Championship continue!

07/11/2026

The summer schedule has been keeping us busy, so here's a look back at our last two tournaments!

The action got underway on June 14 at Deerfield Golf Club for the Travelers Cup, where Keith Nelson put together a winning round to capture his first victory of the season. The win also vaulted him into the lead of the three-part Travelers Cup series. Chasing him to the clubhouse were Joe Fermane, Robert Miller, and Brian Vitolo, who finished four shots back to split the remaining money spots.

Two weeks later, the tour rolled into Westwood on June 28, and this time it was Joe Fermane stealing the spotlight. Joe carded a winning round to earn his first victory of the year and pull even at the top of the season points race. Brian Vitolo continued his strong play, finishing just one shot off the lead for his best showing of the season and proving he's knocking on the door of a win.

With the Travelers Cup heating up and the points race tightening, every shot is starting to matter. Congratulations to Keith and Joe on their victories, and to everyone who came out to compete. We can't wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds!

🏆 Rough Riders Golf Club Championship Recap – Seaview Golf Resort 🏌️‍♂️

This year’s Club Championship brought a new twist — players used a percentage of their handicap on Day 1 (based on season performance) and their full handicap on Day 2. The format added a strategic edge and made for some exciting leaderboard movement! Those members with ten events qualified for the club championship this year.

Day 1 – Pines Course:
The course was in excellent shape with lightning-fast greens. After the first round, Glen Mawby and Joe Fermane shared the lead with matching 76s. Justin Lore sat five shots back, while Dave Demarest and Andrew Miller were within striking distance at eight back.

Day 2 – Bay Course:
Perfect weather and perfect conditions set the stage for a dramatic finish. Glen and Joe remained tied after the front nine, with Glen pulling ahead by two shots heading to 18. When Joe bogeyed and Glen calmly rolled in a par, it sealed the deal — making Glen “FIR” Mawby our new Rough Riders Club Champion! 🏆

Between low net prizes, skins, pins, birdie pool and the Par 3 Challenge, thousands of dollars (and an incredible Title Belt) were up for grabs — the largest prize pool in club history! 💰

Another incredible championship in the books — congrats to all the competitors and to Glen for taking home the title!

Special thanks to Zach Bush and the Seaview staff for helping make this an unforgettable championship for us!
