The Red team captain was Steve Gordon. Their respective assistant captains were Bob Kasse and Larry Coburn. Ron Nisun did an amazing job as Tournament Director.Sixty-eight players participated, thirty-four on each team. The Blue team led on Day One by eight points and on Day Two by nine points. The Red team came roaring back on Sunday at the singles match play. In the end, the Blue team triumphed by only three points, 35.5 to 32.5. Congratulations to both teams for an exciting finish!The annual Ladies Red/Blue tournament has become an integral part of Sider Cup festivities. The Red team reclaimed their title with a win this year. Becky Hanner, Chairperson and Co-chair Bille Neese did a great job organizing this event. Ann Mahoney, President of the LGA, prepared the pairings. Lorraine Kasse’s table decorations at the luncheon afterwards, were beautiful.Still going strong at age 92, is our own Harbor Hills golfing legend Les Johnson.
