The 61st Annual BW Matches were held at Rolling Road Golf Club on Saturday, August 19th. The demanding Catonsville layout was played at 6,174 yards to a par of 70. The course played longer than usual with wet conditions on a hot sunny day. This was the inaugural year for the combining of the BW Junior Matches with the BW Men’s Matches. A junior and an amateur teamed up on both sides to represent their respective teams. This new format allowed a chance for some of the best juniors in the state to have an opportunity to play with some of our most decorated amateurs from this past season. The thrills were many, and the MSGA hopes to continue this format for years to come.
