Submitted by GCC Golf team coach Tom Tucker:

The GCC Golf team competed in the GCC Invitational Tournament on Saturday, but the 10-team event was curtailed by rain and winds gusting up to 60 mph that would not allow golf balls to remain stationary on the greens as the day wore on.

Several early groups did finish, but no teams had complete scores.

Each team has six players maximum competing, and the low four scores count.

Individual medalist honors were awarded to Brian Whitbeck of Erie CC, who shot a 76 in the Men's division, and to Rae Mahon of Hudson Valley CC in the Women's Division.

Matt Ferdinand of GCC, the only GCC player able to finish, placed 2nd with an 80.

Roberta Terbuska competed in the Women's Individual division and placed 2nd.

On Friday at the MCC Invitational, GCC finished third in a seven-team field with a team score of 330. MCC won (308) followed by Erie CC (326).

Medalist was Ben Finn of MCC with a score of 76. Matt Ferdinand of GCC placed 8th with a score of 79 for his 2nd week in a row as low scorer for GCC.

Roberta Terbuska was Medalist in the Women's Individual division for GCC.

Competing in both events for GCC were: Jeff Marcy, Matt Ferdinand, Ryan Winchip, Mark DeCook, Alex Muench, Mike Estela, Chris McDonald and Roberta Terbuska.

The team departs for regionals at Cornell University's Cornell GC on Sunday, May 16.
