Virginias Wins Again
Linville, N.C. - The Virginias regulars won seven of their last eight singles
matches to overcome a tightly-contested competition and defeat the Carolinas
26-22 in the 58th Carolinas-Virginias Team Matches at Grandfather
Golf and Country Club. The Carolinas entered the final day of singles matches
with a one-point lead. The Virginias seniors also provided a spark in winning five of their eight
matches early in the day to give the Virginias a one-point lead. Both teams
countered with the lead until the Virginias regulars used a strong finish to
secure the win. The Virginias wins in 2002 and 2003 mark the first time in the event’s
history in which they have won in consecutive years. A disappointed Carolinas captain, Tom Thorpe kept the loss in perspective. "Grandfather Golf and Country Club did a wonderful job in hosting these
matches," said Thorpe. "I certainly do not like losing two years in a row, but
the camaraderie and hospitality sure made it easier." The Carolinas-Virginias Team Matches are conducted by the Carolinas Golf
Association and the Virginias State Golf Association.
