The 19th annual competition took place at The Georgia Club, October 29-30. Carterville Country Club – whose team included Chase Jones and Jayce Stepp of Cartersville, Chris Hall of Kennesaw and Cres Dodd of Calhoun – were back in the middle of the pack, tied for 14th, after the opening round. In the final round they capitalized on a 69 from Hall, a 70 from Jones and 72 from Stepp to make their charge. Combined with their 1-under-par 143 in the opening round, Cartersville finished at 6-under 354 for the Championship. St. Ives Country Club finished as runner-up in this event for the second-straight year, scoring a 2-under 358 total.

First-round leader Champions Retreat of Evans fell to 10th place overall, counting scores of 75, 77 and 80 in the final round and finishing at 6-over 366. Cartersville’s Hall was one of two players to shoot a field-low 69 on Sunday. He was matched by Scott Macdonald of Suwanee/Laurel Springs Golf Club, which tied for eighth with Atlanta’s Cherokee Town and Country Club. The final round was delayed 30 minutes in the morning due to frost. The shotgun start began at 10:00 a.m. The Georgia Club’s Red and Black nines were used for this year’s competition, and played to 6,896 yards and a par 72. Twenty-six teams of four men each representing GSGA Member Clubs competed over 36 holes for the title.
