September 15th, 2021 — at Dominion Valley Country Club, Haymarket, VA. The team from Springfield Country Club won the 2021 Senior Golf League of Northern Virginia (SGLNV) season championship today in dramatic fashion over a strong team from Trump National Golf Club, Washington D.C. The league championship finals match is held on a neutral site to eliminate the home course advantage that would exist if the match was held at the home site of one of the finalists. This year the Dominion Valley Country Club graciously hosted the finals match.
Springfield’s Phil Goldberg closed out the first match with a dramatic hole-in-one on the par 3 17th hole to earn his team 2 1/2 points in the lead-off match. In the second match Springfield won the front nine 2-up and the back nine was tied through #16 when Carlos Aranda ran in a 30+ foot birdie putt to put Springfield 1-up with 1 to play and guarantee another 2 1/2 points for Springfield. The final score was Springfield 6 Trump National 3.
L to R: Carlos Aranda, Phil Goldberg, Richard Lion (team captain), Eric Walker, John Astorino, Danny Derisio
