To win one of three major club championships at Stone Creek requires skill, patience, and a little luck.
To win 3 championships in the same year is historic at Stone Creek and a testament to Ellis’s surgical approach to dissecting a golf course, shot by shot and hole by hole through the 2020 Member-Member Championship, 2020 Club Championship, and now the 2020 Member-Guest Championship. Congratulations to Adam Ellis (Member) and his partner Bill Beckwith (Guest), on winning the 2020 Stone Creek Golf Club Member-Guest Tournament and to Adam for making history at Stone Creek. The fifth annual two-day 36 team event included a practice round on Friday with an optional skins game, 5 unique matches including on day one 27 holes of Net Best Ball 9 Hole Matches, and on the last day 18 holes of Net Best Ball as well to finish out the tournament.
The championship shootout included Adam Ellis / Bill Beckwith ( 1st Flight ), Dylan Morgia / Matt Smith ( 2nd Flight ), Ron Wilson / Brad Demass ( 3rd Flight ), Mani Perivemba / Robert Hornburg ( 4th Flight ), Jeremy Linn / Vic Licatese ( 5th Flight ), and Matt Burridge / Fred Kent (6th Flight ).
The 6 teams would play 5 holes using aggregate scores in Net Best Ball for holes 1,2,7,8,9. With handicap in play, Ellis and Beckwith had no room for error to secure the Member Guest title. Five holes in and 3 teams were tied at 2 under. Ellis/Beckwith, Perivemba/Hornburg and Linn/Licatese. Sudden death ensued on holes 1 and 2. Perivemba/Hornburg and Linn/Licatese ripped drives that missed the fairway leaving challenging approach shots to the green to answer Ellis and Beckwith, who cracked a 330 yard drive down the middle that settled just short of the green. Ellis chipped a low roller to 5 feet and made the birdie to secure the 2020 Stone Creek Member-Guest Championship.
It was a great weekend of golf. The weather cooperated and the greens were rolling great. A special thanks to our entire staff for preparing the golf course for this event. Thank you to our generous sponsors. The tournament was well managed by Owner and PGA Head Professional Will Weimer and PGA Assistant Professional Amanda Brownell
