Presidents Cup Winner and a Special Hole-in-One Shot

Buddy Meola

The Presidents Cup final was played by Gary Hunnel and Herbye White. Gary and Herbye got to the final by beating five other players in head-to-head match play. A stroke play event was played where the top 64 players were bracketed based on their net scores. Over the next two months, the players whittled the field down to the last two survivors. In a very closely contested match, Gary defeated Herbye 2 and 1 to be crowned this year’s Presidents Cup Champion.

The March Member/Guest Tournament was sponsored by A-1 Golf Carts who had a Hole-in-One Challenge on the difficult 15th hole at Cottonwood. The prize for anyone who accomplished this feat was a 2025 E-Z-Go golf cart. On the second day, Neal Lordos used a 5 wood from 177 yards and made the hole-in-one.
