They're the kings of the carpet, masters of match play. And, they are the 2022 champions of the North Four Tee Championship.
"They" are 12 members of the Summerland Golf Club, who brought their "A" game to Saturday's competition against Plainview, Atkinson/Stuart and Evergreen Hill course teams in the annual event.
Started in 2013, the North Four Tee is the brainchild of Toby King, of Brunswick. The tournament, featuring the best of the best, began in 2013 and, with the exception of a rainout in 2019, has been held at alternating courses each year.
The championship consists of three segments: best ball; foursomes, which includes groups of two golfers alternating shots; and singles.
Points are earned each session.
Ten golfers from each course participate in each round, which required two Summerland golfers to sit out during each phase of the game.
Summerland and Plainview tied in the best ball round, with each team earning 10 points. Atkinson/Stuart earned six points and Evergreen Hill claimed four points.
Atkinson/Stuart topped the field in the foursomes round, earning eight and one-half points. Summerland was one point behind, with seven and one-half. Plainview and Evergreen Hill each received seven points.
With a half-point lead heading into the singles round, Summerland golfers met the challenge head-on, scoring 24 points. Plainview earned 21 points, while Atkinson/Stuart claimed eight points and Evergreen Hill received seven points.
Combined, the Summerland squad finished with 41.5 points. Plainview finished in the runner-up spot, scoring 38. Atkinson scored 22.5 points and Evergreen Hills, 18.
This is the second time Summerland golfers have won the championship.
Plainview golfers won the contest the first five years.
