1st Annual Western

Wisconsin

Challenge Cup

Saturday, Aug. 26, 2000

.

The top twelve point earners in both the Chippewa Valley Golf Association and the Three Rivers Golf Association out of La Crosse competed in a Ryder Cup format tourney on Saturday, the 26th.

According to the paper (Eau Claire Leader Telegram), the team scores were 6-1/2 to 5-1/2 in favor of the CVGA after the alternate shot and the best ball phase of the tourney. I'll be the first to say I plagarized the scores and outcomes below from the sake of bothering BRF or Bill Rolland for the same thing. The only question I have is who the hell is Kevin Hanson? Not only is he not in the top twelve point earners in the CVGA, he's not on the list at all!

The CVGA ultimately won the 1st Annual by a margin of 14-10.
