For the second year in a row, there is a new club champion at the Mattawa Golf and Ski Resort. Congratulations to Len Gushe for winning the final leg of the match play club champion event. He is thrilled to have the coveted parking spot for the 2026 season. Len beat me in the final leg of this tournament, but it had a bit of a twist to the ending. Regardless of the result, we had a great round, loads of fun and a perfect day for golf. Of course I am a bit disappointed to lose again in the final, but alas I lost to a great champion.
