The annual Chesapeake Challenge between MAAGCS and ESAGCS took place at Queenstown Harbor out Tuesday, May 30th. A special thank you goes out to John Anderes, CGCS, Jason Neal, Nick Brandt and the entire Queenstown Harbor staff and to all of the sponsors for making this another top notch event!

The day started off with education featuring a speaker from the EPA, Tim Witman, followed by Brent Fuchs of Heritage Financial Consultants, both gave excellent presentations.

Following education was lunch in the pavilion then the annual Ryder Cup style competition. There were 21 official matches and MAAGCS started out hot winning the first four. ESAGCS made a charge winning the next four matches but could only muster two and a half more points for the rest of the afternoon with MAAGCS winning 10.5. MAAGCS captures the Chesapeake Challenge in dominating fashion and one of the most lopsided victories in the events history winning 14.5 to 6.5. The win for MAAGCS breaks the streak of four consecutive wins by ESAGCS. The President's Trophy is finally on the correct side of the bay!
