The Free State Seniors Golf Association of Maryland (FSSGAM) team scored a decisive 23-7 victory over the Northern Virginia Golf Association (NVGA) Seniors team in the annual Potomac Challenge team competition completed on Thursday October 27th, 2022 at the Fairfax, Virginia campus of Army Navy Country Club. The Maryland team had lost the previous year’s match on their own soil at Fountain Head Country Club in Hagerstown, MD by a score of 11-19. Determined to win back the James E. Bradley Memorial Trophy the Maryland team assembled a very strong team of players that dominated all four formats over the two-day competition.
This was the 29th annual Potomac Challenge team competition which consists of 12-man teams (10 seniors age 55+ and 2 super-seniors age 70+) that play four nine-hole formats over two days. Day 1 includes six 9-hole 4-ball matches and six 9-hole modified foursome matches (select drive, then alternate shot).
