The annual Harmon Cup matches were held on June 14th and 15th and the Crew was well represented.
Captain Harmon's team featured 2007 club champ Dave Fries and crew member Brad McAreavy while Captain Hoff's team had crew members Jim Mason, Dylan Bronson, Doug Lyon and John Schantz.
Following day one's alternate shot and four ball format Captain Harmon's team held a slight edge with a 6 1/2 - 5 1/2 lead and the stage was set for the singles match showdown on Sunday.
In true Captain and Crew tradition Mason, Schantz and McAreavy teed it up on the West course at 7:00 AM for a quick 18 hole warm-up before the big event with Mason beating both Schantz and McAreavy while the latter two split their match.
In the big event Jim Mason, regaining form not seen in years, dispatched of young upstart Ross Pino 6 & 7. Meanwhile Doug Lyon took off his shirt and shoes, climbed into Allen's Creek on #5 to hit his shot. Only Jamie Lamb could inspire Doug to go to such lengths as he disposed of Jamie 5 &4.
Dylan Bronson continued to suffer from a case of the lip-out-skis and was not able to secure a win.
As the matches wound down it became clear that the second to last match of the day between John Schantz and 2006 club champ Matt Weins would determine the winner of the Harmon Cup. After Schantz had been down 3 early in the match the pair went to 18 all square where a half was needed to secure the cup for Captain Hoff.
Schantz left his second at the end of the fairway just short of the hill up to the green while Weins hit the green but was left with a tricky 30 putt from above the right front hole location. Schantz hit a delicate lob shot to 4 feet while Weins hit his putt 7 feet past the hole and missed the comeback. Schantz holed out the putt for par and the improbable upset was complete.
