The RIGCSA and GCSACC members were able to meet this year for the annual Rho-Cod Cup Tournament.  Things were a bit different due to the Covid-19 restrictions.  Thank you to Steve Thys, Ryan Bernier and the entire team at Metacomet Golf Club for hosting this event.

Unfortunately the weather was extremely hot along with early afternoon rain so not all teams were able to finish. The tournament results were compiled from the 7 teams that did complete 18 holes and also submitted scorecards to the pro shop.  The RIGCSA won the cup back from GCSACC with a score of 4-3.
