ONE DAY PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Sponsored by Chris Cote’s Golf Shop
A
LTHOUGH THE season-ending One Day
Championship at Shennecossett marked the official
end of the CSGA tournament season, it also serves
as the final points event for the Chris Cote’s One Day Player
of the Year race. Last year, the CSGA introduced a new One
Day Player of the Year Points race for both the Gross and Net
flights of the Tettelbach and Siderowf Division. Sponsored
by Chris Cote’s Golf Shop in Portland, Connecticut,
players accumulated points based on their finish at One Day
tournaments throughout the season. In 2014, Chris Cote’s
Golf Shop expanded the sponsorship and provided a total of
$4,000 in merchandise prizes to the top three finishers in each
division.
In the Tettelbach Gross division, Brent Dietz of
Cedar Knob GC put together one of the best seasons in One
Day tournament history. Diezt accumulated an outstanding
809 points that included wins at six individual tournaments,
and earned points at each of the eleven events he participated
in, never finishing outside of the top-10. The Tettelbach Net
division, Scott Emigh of Fenwick GC entered the One Day
Championship with a modest lead and solidified it by winning
at Shennecossett with a net score of 69. Harger also compiled
four top-5 finishes over the season, including victories at Blue
Fox Run GC and Orange Hills CC.
While the Tettelbach division races were won in
impressive fashion, the Siderowf divisions came down to the
final putt. Gene Cufone of Alling Memorial GC fired a round
of two under-par 69 to win the One Day Championship and
secure his first One Day Player of the Year title. Cufone needed
all one hundred fifty points earned from his victory to edge
Bill Torza of Wethersfield CC, who finished runner-up by only
seven points. In the Siderowf Net division, Dominic Maselli of
Topstone GC played steady golf throughout the year en-route
to his victory, compiling a total of six top-10 finishes to edge
James O’Neill of Great Neck CC by just fifty-six points.
