Monday, Aug. 26, marked the second of two matches against Rutland CC for the Killington Junior Golf League (KJGL). This event was held at Rutland Country Club on a beautiful summer evening.

The Killington Junior Golf League wrapped up its summer session and is headed into fall with more work to do at Green Mountain National. 

“We would like to thank Rutland Country Club for hosting this second inter-club event. The kids had a blast competing and we have set the stage for some fun matches for next season,” said Coach Arra Derderian.

Monday’s match consisted of three pairings from each team. Two players from Rutland and two from Killington made up the three foursomes. They played a scramble format for three holes and the team with the lowest score won that hole. Overall Rutland CC took the win 6-3 with points being awarded for each hole won. Killington has some great rising stars in Henry Evans and Timothy Ryan who filled out the first pairing. Lily Derderian and Quinn Hecker were the second pairing along with Antonio Ehmann and Mason Doenges as the third.
