DARTMOUTH, MA (September 30, 2018) - The Country Club of New Bedford’s annual Gilholm Cup was played on September 29 and 30 at
the 6400 yard, par 70 Donald Ross-designed golf course in Dartmouth, MA.
Two beautiful days were enjoyed by the amateur golfers as they battled for the 36 hole, best ball
of 2 Gross Stroke Play Championship.
Ryan Pelletier, playing out of Pawtucket (RI) CC, and his brother Kyle, Acushnet River Valley
GC, shot a brilliant score of 66 - 68 for a 6 under par, two-day total of 134 to claim victory.
On Saturday the team birdied holes #1, #3, #13 and #15 for a bogey free, 4 under par round of
66.
On Sunday they bogied holes #6 and #11 but managed 4 birdies to hold off the hard charging
team of Jonathan Stoddard and Joe DiMarzio from Plymouth CC, who finished at a 5 under par
total. They narrowly missed a birdie putt on hole #17 to tie. They shot 68-67=135.
This is the third Gilholm title for the Pelletiers as they won previously in 2010 and 2012.
The team of Jason Cook (Pine Oaks GC) and Paul DeBortoli (Reservation GC) finished third
68-68=136, 4 under par.
