Several SVCC members will be headed off to the hills of the Bernardsville Country Club on October 26th for this year's final major- "The Tick Open". SVCC Captain, Bill Auld says although he is the defending champion he feels there are plenty of members within his own club that are "playing much better than I am right now. I wouldn't be surprised if one of our guys will take the crown."
Some say it could be Tony D'anna. After working hard on his game all season TD has taken the month off to rest up for The Tick. "It's time" is all he had to offer as he shied away from the media blitz that always builds up for an event such as this.
With a gritty determination that has served him well on the professional tour, "Invitational" runner up, Robert Auld, stated he is "more focused than ever for the task at hand", adding "at this stage of my career I feel I am running out of opportunities to land a major."
The BCC members will certainly be poised to bring the trophy back to their club and most analysts feel that the winner will come from the BCC. Backyard Golf Digest staff writer Hack McDugan says "It's hard to bet against Gary Simpson, coming off a 'Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach' performance at last month's 'Invitational'. If its not him safe money would be on one of the many talented home course players."
But everyone wants a shot at the year's last major and perhaps a dark horse from one of the various other clubs will sneak in and stake a claim.
That's why the play the game! See you on October 26th.
