The current holders of the Estabrooks Cup, Team South (captained by Mark Shannon and Shelly Thomas) did not have the start they were looking for in the Saturday’s Fourball Match-ups at the Fredericton Golf Club as they were only able to secure 2.5 PTS.

MACTAQUAC, NB: A warm and breezy afternoon greeted players at the NB Men’s Senior Championship ahead of Wednesday’s third and final round. After 36 holes, very little divided players at the top of the leaderboard, with a number of competitors in contention for the Senior and Super-Senior titles.

The final two games took to the course beginning at 2:30 PM. With all players within 6 shots of the lead, Wednesday’s afternoon would set up to be an exciting final round.

The Men’s Senior Championship turned out to be a spectacular one. The crown was captured by Jacques Legere of the Florida State Golf Association who was a last-minute addition off the waitlist, but worth it nonetheless. Legere began the day in a tie with Gage’s Tom Cameron and was able to tally a score of two-under-par 70, including a hole-out eagle on the par 4 10th, adding to his impressive resume of big-time shots at Mactaquac: albatross during round 1, eagle on the par 5 1st during round 2, and his hole out eagle from round 3.

We then saw the 2021 Canadian Men’s Senior Champion Darren Ritchie fire a round 3 score of three-under-par 69. Ritchie who was sitting at one-over par after the 10th hole turned on the jets and carded 4 straight birdies to then finish his round with four straight pars giving which was enough to give him a share of second place in the Senior division with Tom Cameron. Both players would finish their tournament at five under par.

This would also earn them each a spot to represent New Brunswick at the 2022 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship held in Red Deer, Alberta, from September 6th-9th. The third available spot on Team NB was captured by Dan Coulombe of the West Hills Golf Course. Coulombe fired a round 3 score of one-over par 73, giving him a 3-day total of one-over par.

The Super-Senior division was successfully defended by back-to-back champion, Paul Batchelor of the Ashburn Golf Club who held the honour along with Tom Cameron for the tournament low round, both players recording scores of 67. Batchelor gathered a third-round score of one-over par 73 giving him a tournament total of three-under-par, and a commanding 7-shot victory over runner-up Robert McIntyre of the Hampton Golf Club. McIntyre tallied scores of 72-74-74 for a total of four over par on the week. The third place finisher was Kevin Farmer who ended his event with a combined score of six-over par.

In the Dormie Workshop Par-3 Challenge, West Hills’ Dan Coulombe would take the victory. Coulombe would finish his event with a combined score of one-under-par on each par 3 that Mactaquac had to offer. For this stellar play, Dan received a custom Dormie Workshop Par-3 Challenge Champion yardage book cover.

The Mactaquac Golf Course proved to be gracious hosts while providing players with a true test of championship golf. The 2022 NB Men’s Senior & Mid-Master Championship concludes Golf NB’s Major Championships for the season; next on the docket is the 2022 Family Classic & Adult Junior hosted by Country Meadows on August 8th.

Darren Ritchie has often made history on the golf course, but his voice reaches new levels of pride when he talks about his 19-year-old son.

Nicholas Ritchie earned a spot on Sterling College’s varsity roster as a freshman this year and the Quispamsis native helped the Kansas school win its first conference championship.

He’s following in his father’s impressive steps.

Darren Ritchie, one of only four players to ever win Canadian amateur and senior men’s championships, will defend his New Brunswick senior title July 25-27 at the Mactaquac Golf Course.

Ritchie, who plays out of the Hampton Golf Club, also captured the Canadian Senior title last year – 29 years after he became the first Maritimers to win the national amateur crown by beating Mike Weir in a match-play playoff.

Ritchie, who was inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame in 2016, is more comfortable talking about his son’s success than his own legacy

“To play himself on the team at this age is incredible,” said Ritchie, a crane operator with Irving Equipment.

“He’s worked hard on his game and it’s all business with him,” he added.

“I’ve done well in the game and he’s making his way, too. In some ways, we’ve taken similar paths, but in other ways, he’s created his own opportunities.”

As teenagers, both Ritchies were outstanding athletes and had to choose between playing high-level baseball or focusing on golf.

Darren Ritchie picked golf and he’s never looked back.

“I’ve been very fortunate to play in New Brunswick,” said the 57-year-old, who also played competitive hockey and soccer in his youth.

“I believe Golf New Brunswick is the best golf organization in the country,” he continued. “I’ve been lucky enough to play across the country and I’ve seen how well-organized and professional they are here.

“Golf New Brunswick has always supported the players from this province. We are fortunate.”

Ritchie, who also finished third at the New Brunswick Senior Championship two years ago, is looking forward to this year’s tournament even though he hasn’t played much golf lately.

“I’ve been busy, but I enjoy the competition at these big tournaments,” he explained. “It’s a strong field and I thrive on going up against the best players.”

The tournament has attracted a capacity field of 156 players.

The top three New Brunswick finishers will represent the province at the Canadian Senior Men’s Championship, presented by BDO, Sept. 6-9 at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club in Alberta.

Ritchie topped the field last year while Tom Cameron of The Gage placed second and Mike Jeffrey of Fox Creek was third.

Jeffrey, a former pro hockey player who played with the Moncton Hawks and Nova Scotia Voyageurs of the AHL, also set a goal of winning the provincial title.

“I am competitive in everything I do and I’m not going there to finish second,” said Jeffrey, the Director of Operations for Corey Craig Group of companies.

“In hockey, I played my best against the good teams. In golf, my game improves against the best players so it’s going to be a great challenge,” said the 60-year-old Moncton resident.

The tournament will also feature Super-Senior and Mid-Master divisions.

Ritchie will also use the tournament to prepare for the United States Senior Men’s Golf Championship on Aug. 27-Sept 1 at the Kittanasett Golf Club in Marion, Mass.

He gained an exemption to the tournament by capturing the Canadian Championship last year.

“I am not playing much, but the tournaments I play will have very good players so that’s how I will prepare,” Ritchie said. “It’s an honor to represent New Brunswick and Canada.”

Landry’s play would see him edge out the field and Riverside’s Greg Steele who spent the final round on Sunday in a shoot-out with Landry, finishing one shot back at even par.

Today’s win makes Landry a five-time NB Men’s Amateur Champion, adding to his already impressive victories in 2002, 2016, 2019, and 2021 seeing him become the first male golfer to record five amateur titles.

In the Dormie Workshop Par-3 Challenge, the West Hills’ Andrew Trainor came out victorious. His performance of even-par on the Par-3s at his home course this week edged out champion, Michel Landry. For this stellar play, Trainor received a custom Dormie Workshop Par-3 Challenge Champion yardage book cover.
