The annual Boyd Haddad interclub competition was held at the Granite Pointe Golf Club in Nelson on Sept. 6.

This competition has eight golf courses in the Kootenay region competing in an 16-man team event, where eight play for the Boyd Trophy, which is determined by four two-man team best ball gross scores and the Haddad Trophy, which is determined by four, two-man team best ball net scores.

The team from Creston competing for the Boyd Trophy captured top spot for only the second time in the 82-year history of the Tournament. The Boyd Trophy champions from Creston were represented by the four two-man teams of Mike Nelson and Daniel Brown, Dennis Brown and Randy Sterling, Bryan Smithson and Garry Husband, and Rick Czar and Brian O’Keefe. The competition was very close indeed, as the Cranbrook Golf Club and the host Granite Point Golf Club shared a very close second place only one shot behind the Creston squad.

The Haddad team was comprised of Bill Dyck, Patrick Eddy, Josh Firman, George Goulder, Walter Jaap, Dan Kinney, Norm Stead and Rick Thomas.

The Creston Golf Club will look to defend its Boyd title and recapture the Haddad, which it won two years ago in Castlegar, when it hosts the event next September.
