Burlington ON - Monday October 3rd is not only the final event on the 2011 Golden Horseshoe Area Golf Tour (GHT) but it will also determine the outcome for the John H. Davis Cup. The final event is to be held at Trafalgar Golf & Country Club in Milton, ON this coming Monday. The race for the Cup began in May and will be concluded upon the completion of play at Trafalgar. In Past years, the outcome was already determined prior to the final event commencing. However, this season is a different story. There are currently 6 players with a chance to win the year long prize. Ed Maunder of Deerfield Golf Club is the current leader on the GHT Order of Merit. The John H. Davis Cup is awarded to the player on the GHT whom accumulates the least amount of points through their best 5 of 7 events played. A player is given a point for every competitor that finishes ahead of them. A first place finish sees the player accumulate 1 point....
Maunder currently sits with 18 points through 6 events played. Other players with a chance to win include Alf Callowhill (Glen Abbey Academy) 20 points, Ron Kenesky (Hidden Lake GC) 21 points, Jim Zwolak (Braeben Academy) 23 points. Those players have leeway, as they will be eligible to drop their worst events. However, two tour members have played only 4 events and have an outside chance to win the Cup. Reggie Millage (Glen Abbey Academy) has 15 points and Jim Kenesky (Hidden Lake GC) sits with 19 points.
