2025 Season Wrap Up
This was another terrific season for our HGSGA, and I greatly appreciate the tremendous leadership and support of our executive group of volunteers, without whom our league would not be possible. Those include Mark Cardwell-Vice President, Rich Turner-Treasurer, Denny Walsh-Secretary, Dave Hohman-Golf Genius Administrator, Mike Caporaletti- MISGA Representative, Calendar Chief and Home MISGA Coordinator, Mac Ramsey-Webmaster, and Reg Hahne and Dave Hohman-Columbia Cup Captains, Ian Sumner-Immediate Past President and Helper-in-Chief, Andy Finkel and Joe Duklewski-Coordinators of MISGA Interclub Matches, and Brooke Greer, who helped with weekly collections. I apologize for anyone I inadvertently left off. Without these folks there is no HGSGA, so MANY THANKS!!
A special shout out to Denny Walsh and Mac Ramsey. After years of service both have retired from their positions. Many, many thanks for all of your time and efforts on behalf of HGSGA. Andy Finkel is stepping into the Secretary position and Joe Duklewski is going to be our Webmaster. Thank you both.
2025 saw an increase in membership, as our ranks swelled to 128. Once again we had a full season, running from late March through the end of October. Ian Sumner is coordinating a winter season sign up as well. Kevin Kokes won our seasonal Match Play, while Brooke Greer and Steve Poulos captured the Championship Series Gross and Net, respectively. We held 4 very successful Home MISGA events under Mike Caporaletti’s leadership. Mike also arranged 37 away MISGA mixers this year. An average of 11 players attended each mixer.
While there were no aces this season at Hobbit’s, Ed Cava scored one on hole #11 of the South/West course at Compass Pointe.
Once again, Reg Hahne and Dave Hohman guided the HG team to a successful defense of The Columbia Cup, which continues to reside with HG. It is never easy battling our friends from Fairway Hills in this fun competition.
HGSGA members also took the top titles in the MISGA 2025 Past Presidents (ABCD) Championship. Doug Wilson finished first in the Gross division, edging Brooke Greer. On the Net side, Kevin Kokes took top honors. A tremendous showing for HGSGA. Doug and Kevin are automatically in the field for the 2026 event.
New this year, HGSGA participated in the MISGA Division 1 interclub match play under the leadership of Andy Finkel and Joe Duklewski. There were 6 matches, 3 home and 3 away. Each hole was worth one point for low gross and one point for low net. Our team finished in first for low gross, second for low net, and came in first overall.
I also want to send a big thank you to the Hobbit’s shop and cart staff. It is not easy setting things up for us each week, and managing check-in for our groups of 60-70 or more. Their efforts are greatly appreciated. A shout out as well to The Turn House for our MISGA lunches and annual banquet. The staff there did a great job.
2026 is just around the corner and promises to be another fun time. The 2026 Application is available online at our website, with hard copies available in the pro shop.
Stay warm and see you on the Links,
