With the field of competitors battling for top honors in four handicap flights for men and one for women – the men’s teams were also competing to claim the top overall score, which earned two exemptions into the RDGA District Championship John H. Ryan Memorial in July.

In the Women’s Division, the team of Suzanne Yarnall and Joan Leroy took top honors with a score of 72. The team of Karenne Roberts and Sherre Albright finished in second place with a score of 83, and the team of Sharon White and Janet Kowal posted a score of 84 to finish in third place.
In the Men’s Divisions, top honors for Flight 1 went to the team of Reimer and Thornton, followed by the team of Matt Cairo and Zach Hicks, with a score of 63 to finish in second place. Three teams finished in a tie for third place in Flight 1, including: Chris McCormick and Don Fortuna, Bryan Tallie and Shane Hewitson and John Bodine and Steve Fisher. All three teams finished with scores of 64.
In Flight 2, two teams tied for first place with scores of 67, including the teams of Kevin Conklin and Mike Fortuna, and Brian Burri and Philip Yager. Finishing in third place, with a score of 68, was the team of Ernie Truax and Brian Sinclair.
In Flight 3, the team of Joe Bogue and Gerald Shaughnessy claimed first place honors with a score of 66. The team of Steven Schickler and Robert Brongo finished in second place with a round of 68, followed by the team of Allan Hanaburgh and Craig Freeman, which finished in third place with a 69.
Flight 4 was won by the team of Brian Hauck and Brad Moody, with a score of 71, followed by the team of Bud Klafehn and Tim Dimino, which finished in second place with a score of 74. There was a tie for third place at 75 between two teams: Doug Taylor and Gary Cantaben, as well as Joe Oslovsky and Francesco Franzese.
