On Saturday, August 24th, and Sunday, August 25th the Sioux City Country Club hosted its annual Men's, Seniors, Women's, and Junior Club Championship. The hot, humid weather did not scare away our field of competitors who battled the golf course and the elements trying to etch their names in club history.
The Junior Club Championship consisted of a Girl's 18-hole, Girl's 9-hole, Boy's 18-hole and Boys 9-hole divisions. In the Girl's 9-hole division, Clara B. took the lead after hole #1 and never looked back claiming the 9-hole title with an excellent 59, we had no participants for the 18-hole division.
The Boys 9-hole championship says Lincoln L. came out on top after shooting a round of 58 topping the field to win the championship. The 18-hole boy's division turned into a two-person race midway through the front 9, when Austin S Jr. pulled away from Will F. and the rest of the chasing pack, carding a very solid round of 90, better 2nd place by 9 shots.
Our Senior Club Championship was a four-person race that saw Mitch Merrill's 82 holding a one-shot lead over Mark Condon with 83, Kevin Knepper with 87, and Gary Smith with a 91. Sunday's final round started off with Mitch Merrill's birdie on #1 expanding his lead that he would not relinquish shooting a final round 77 for a two-day total of 159 to capture the 2024 Senior Club Championship. Mark Condon finished 2nd with 167, Knepper third with 168 and Smith fourth with 174.
We congratulate everyone who participated in this year's club championship and are honored to announce Mitch Merrill as the 2024 Men's and Senior Club Champion!
