The teams of Cory Hoshor of Scott Depot and Davey Jude of Kermit and Sam O’Dell of Hurricane and Pat Carter of Huntington beat the competition, but not the weather, to become co-champions of the inaugural West Virginia Golf Association (WVGA) Four-Ball Match Play Championship at The Raven Golf Club at Snowshoe Resort.
“I’m glad The Raven could host the first-ever Four-Ball Match Play Championship,” said The Raven’s Head Golf Professional Chester Guzek. “I wish there hadn’t been so much rain, but the course has held up.”
