With the win, Maunder captures the John H. Davis Cup. With a new playoff format in place, that sees 8 players get into the finals and compete in a one round stroke play event with the winner taking home the Cup. This format left the door open for anyone to win, but Maunder did what he did all season and that's win. The player standings from the John H. Davis Cup final round can be seen below.
2012 PGA of Canada Club Professional Champion Brian Hutton took home the CaddyPro Senior Order of Merit with 111 points. John Davis finished in second with a total of 62 points. The Senior Order of Merit was a point race contested over all 8 events and saw seven players over 50 years of age compete in the division.
Another season on the Golden Horseshoe Area Golf Tour has concluded in record breaking fashion.
"Eddie had a wonderful season and he's such a great player to have compete on the GHT. What he did this year from a win total and scoring average perspective was truly impressive and should not go unnoticed." says GHT President Jim Kenesky. "The lineup of golf courses were the best in years and not easy to score at such a consistent pace. Ed earned every ounce of the John H. Davis Cup."
The Golden Horeseshoe Area Golf Tour will be entering it's 30th season in 2014 and promises to keep improving the player experience. "I am extremely excited about the upcoming 30th season and the future of the GHT. We have some unique ideas going forward that will help promote participation and increase payouts." says GHT President Jim Kenesky. "I understand we have many PGA of Canada professionals in the Hamilton/Halton region and I guarantee there will be something for everyone to play for while keeping the social aspect alive. The new scoring software provided by Golf Genius Software has given us the opportunity to create many different events within one tournament. It's going to be a great 2014 season"
The GHT would like to thank all the host courses and players for supporting the Tour in 2013. Though the season is over the GHT still has the Two Man Team Event remaining on the schedule. The Two Man Team Event is set to on Tuesday October 15 at Hidden Lake Golf Club and will feature teams comprised of two GHT Members or one GHT Member with one PGA of Canada Member playing in a 6-6-6 format.
