Last Saturday, 38 golfers gathered for the club's annual Dan Degnon Memorial Chub Championship, held this year at The Villages Golf and Country Club in San Jose. The weather was spot on with a nice breeze to keep things a bit cooler.

In the end it was Troy Trede (pictured) who pulled off the remarkable win, shooting a net 66 to win by three shots over Brian Tract. We would have celebrated Troy's victory if he just hadn't preformed that victory dance.

Troy was the Bango Flight with Monty Frank's score of 70 collecting the second place money. Tract's 69 won the Bango Flight, knocking off Lorenzo Trujillo, the scored a 70. Over in the Bingo Flight, Jeremy Brand won the flight with a 72, defeating Mark Chatfield's 72 by tie-breaker.

The AWAGA held its Caddyshack Invitational Tournament at The Villages over the weekend, a 2-man better ball event that pitted 15 teams of 30 golfers against the lightning fast greens of The Villages.

When the dust had cleared, it was the team of Joe Albayalde and Al Pena (allegedly pictured) who won the Bingo Flight and the overall tournament, carding an impressive 64. This was just enough to best Lupe Torres and Jeremy Brand, and Jon Welch and Brian Tract, who each finished one shot behind at 65.

Over in the Bongo Flight, Dave Yvanovich and Bob Schneider claimed the top spot with a 66, besting the team of Greg and Stacey Brown by a single shot.

The Caddyshack Towel went to the day's worst player, and Mike Applegate proudly claimed his cryer.

It was another great day on the fairways! Congrats to all the winners!

Last Saturday the Boys of AWA played under blustery skies at Ridgemark Golf and Country Club for the annual "Fast Times at Ridgemark Golf Course", a two-man scramble event.

The final results came down to the wire as the team of Aaron Clawson and James Hill tied the team of Joe Abayalda and and Al Pena, who each carded 65. The toe-breaker was the 18th hole, where a birdie gave Aaron and James the overall championship and the Bongo Flight.

The Bingo Flight was won by Armando Claudio and Ethan Aldrich, whose score of 66 was enough to edge Greg Brown and Kevin Hager by a single shot.

Congratulations to the winners!

On Saturday the Boys of AWA gathered for the annual Neil Christie Cup -- our Ryder-style event that features head to head 2v2 matches under Best Ball, Alternate Shot, and Scramble formats.

It was a beautiful, sunny day at Spring Valley Golf Course, complete with manicured fairways and mystery spot greens. As the sun set lat in the afternoon, Team Brian was declared victors over Team Bruce by a score of 26-23.

Individual highlights featured Monty Frank and Dave Freeman beating Steve Sammut and Mike Applegate 5-1/2 to 1-1/2, and Greg Brown and Steve Brown overwhelming Jeff Acuna and Brian Tract by the same 5-1/2 to 1-1/2 score, both teams representing Team Brian. The Brown Brothers also scored the best round of the day with a score of 65.

Kevin Hager was also presented his award for being last year's Golfer of the Year.

Congratulations to Team Brian and all those who won their individual matches. Thankfully, there were beers afterward.

The look of sheer joy says it all! On Saturday, the AWAGA opened the 2025 golf season with the 26th Annual Battle for the Ugly Trophy. Unlike previous season openers, there was no rain, no high winds, and no hail, but there was an Ugly Trophy to capture. Battling a field of 30 golfers, and playing under Peoria scoring rules, a stunned Ethan Aldrich came out on top with a net score of 63. So now, Ethan must keep the Trophy for the year, add something to commemorate his victory, and return to defend it in 2026.

Steve Gerard captured 2nd place money with a 65, followed by Jon Welch and Armando Claudio, who each turned in net scores of 67.

It was a great day for all who survived the near perfect weather and those testy Santa Teresa greens. Afterwards, beer flowed and lies were told. An auspicious start to the new season!

10/22/2024

On Saturday the AWAGA gathered at Pacific Grove Golf Links under glorious skies for the final tournament of the AWAGA schedule. "The Memorial" honors the great memories of the past and those who are no longer with us, and celebrates the future of AWA Golf with our current members.

The field was divided into two-man teams for this scramble event. and in the end it was the enduring twosome of Mark Chatfield and Larry Lincoln who came out on top, winning the Bingo Flight and the Overall Event with a score of 65. Kevin Hager and Austin Nadeau finished just a stroke back at 66, finishing second in the flight.

Over in the Bongo Flight, the teams of Jeff Acuna and Brian Tract along with Aaron Clawson and James Hunt turned in identical 66 scores, with the Tract-Acuna duo taking the flight by Tie-breaker.

We also had a chance to officially recognize Patrick Cruz as the Club's 2024 Champion with the presentation of his trophy. Just a fantastic way to end the 2024 season. See you all next year!
