2006.
Andrew Kay, Oak Hill, was low medalist in the Blue Division qualifier of
101 competitors, held at Centerpointe CC. Kay shot the lowest round of
both qualifiers by shooting a five under par 66. The medalists at the
Green Division Qualifier, with 96 competitors, was Kevin Thornton,
Genesee Valley Golf Club, and David Chong, Mill Creek Golf Club, who
both shot 73, one over par, at Deerfield in very hot, windy conditions.

year since it has been named after John H. Ryan Jr., who won consecutive
titles in 1981 and 1982 before his untimely death in 1982. The 2007
Championship will mark the ninth time that Ridgemont has hosted the
event the first being in 1935 when it was won by John McGrath.

This year, the setting for the John H. Ryan Jr. Memorial Championship is
the beautiful Ridgemont Country Club. The course has been returned to
its original design, as commissioned back in 1928, when a group of Kodak
executives were able to fulfill their dreams on this piece of property
near the photographic giant as it grew down Ridge Road West. The
relatively short but tight 6500+ yard course will be a tough test of
golf because of the varying winds off Lake Ontario, the narrow fairways
and small, undulating greens.
“Club Professional Ben Wilson and Course Superintendent Art Eichas and
their staffs have worked hard over the last months to prepare the course
for the district’s best male amateur golfers,” said RDGA president Jim
Cook. “The members should be proud of what they have accomplished over
the last two years,” said Cook. “Ridgemont is an exceptional venue for
our men’s championship and all of the 63 member RDGA clubs owe it a
great deal of gratitude.”
The
tournament week will begin with a shotgun start practice round at
12:30pm on Tuesday, July 10 followed by a Grand Opening Ceremony at 6PM,
followed by the Championship players dinner at 6:30pm.
Play will begin on Wednesday July 11 at 7:30AM and will finish on
Saturday July 14.
The
Public is welcome for every part of this championship.
