After two runner-up finishes, Kings River breaks through with its first title at Poppy Hills

Kings River Golf & Country Club didn’t want to touch the Northern California Golf Association Team Match trophy before play started for fear of jinxing themselves. It may have been a great decision.

Kings River, located in Kingsburg, Calif., won its first overall NCGA Team Match Championship title on a stormy Sunday at Poppy Hills Golf Club in Pebble Beach, Calif., defeating runner-up Santa Rosa (Calif.) Golf & Country Club, 21-15 in the finals. Kings River had previously won the Saturday League title in 2011 and 2014, but lost in those overall finals.

“It’s just been a super cool season,” said Kings River captain Travis Schletewitz. “We didn’t expect to be here. It’s fun to bring your Scratch League team to Team play and be competitive.”
