Matt Arvanitis, Golf Coach at SNHU and his amateur partners, Gavin Richardson, Sam Maurice and Andrew Surprenant, went out first at Keene CC, finished in just under 3 hours, posted their scores, and were never threatened by the rest of the field all day. Arvanitis fired the round of the day, a 3 under par 69 to top the Professionals at this week’s NHPGA event, while the team went low with an 18 under par 126 in the combined best-ball gross and net to win the Pro-Am competition by 7 strokes.
