Geesman & Riccabona are the Big Winners in the Spring ("Dave Webb") Team Match Play Tournament

Jim Geesman and Tony Riccabona won the Spring Team Match Play Tournament, defeating Paul Sanders and Fred O’Hara 3 and 2.

Geesman and Riccabona made it to the finals by beating Bill Daitchman and Franz Vairello 5 and 3, in what most members know as the Dave Webb Match Play Tournament, after the popular member who first organized and who runs the matches. Sanders and O’Hara made it into the finals by walking over Tom McNary and Matt Ryan.

It’s not one of the Aptos Seascape Men’s Club’s monthly tournaments, but it’s become a fixture among players.

Gary Lovell and John Reisdorf won the consolation bracket, defeating Richard Lakely and Richard Wameling 5 and 3. These are players who lost their first match back in February and then went on to make it to the finals in the “losers” bracket.

Lovell and Reisdorf made the finals by beating Dick Staniford and Ray Geisick 2 up. Lakely and Wameling had defeated Paul McGillicuddy and Jim Boulware 2 and 1.
