Barre, VT – The Pro – Senior event this week took place at the Country Club of Barre. A beautiful course up on top of the hill with amazing views of the horizon and lots of history in the club house. A few teams have been playing in this event for a few years but one team in particular has been playing together for over 30 years. John Paul and his team from Kwiniaska Golf Club Art Shields, Bob Davinson, and Bill Zabilowski have been playing events together for years and they said they aren’t the most competitive team out there but they definitely have the most fun and enjoy each other’s company on and off the golf course.
The 2 best ball gross division was led by the defending champions from last year’s Pro Senior event, Justin Bonnett and his team from Lake Morey Golf Club with a round of 1 – under Par 141. Coming in second in the gross division Curt Goldsberry and his team from The Quechee Club with a round of even par 142. In the 2 best ball net division Mike Slayton and his team from Ryderbrook Golf Club took the top spot at 9 – under par 133. Coming in second place in the net division was Reece Delair and his team from Williston Golf Club with a round of 5 – under par 137.
