WEST PALM BEACH - Professionals from the Southeast Chapter of the South Florida PGA Section retained the Sam Smidt Cup on Monday (Dec. 6) with a 30 ½ to 23 ½ victory over amateurs from the Palm Beach County Golf Association at Bear Lakes Country Club.

It was the fourth straight win for the pros, who lead the overall series with six victories to four by the PBCGA. The 1996 match ended in a tie.

Southeast senior Roger Kennedy of Stuart and former Palm Beach County Amateur champion Mike Nealy of Boca Raton were the only players to win all three of their points on the Lakes course.

There were three matches within each foursome, a four-ball and two singles. Scoring was on a nassau basis, with points awarded for winning the front nine, the back nine and the match. There were three points at stake in each match, nine within each foursome. Each team had 12 players, including two seniors.

Smidt was a longtime rules official in Florida who died Sept. 24, 1992, at the age of 70. He was inducted into the South Florida PGA Hall of Fame in August.
