May 11, 2026 | Shadowridge Golf Club
VISTA, CA (May 11, 2026) — Jeff Hart, PGA, Life Member Active, and Michael Griffin, PGA, of The Santaluz Club, teamed up to win the 2026 Senior-Junior Championship in playoff fashion at Shadowridge Golf Club.
After the completion of the round, Team Hart/Griffin found themselves tied with two other teams at 7-under-par 65.
Eric Lohman, PGA, and Lyon Lazare, PGA, of Monarch Beach Golf Links, and Scott Cherry, PGA, of Mission Hills Country Club, and Steve Holmes, PGA, of Rustic Canyon Golf Course, also all turned in 7-under-par 65’s.
The three teams went back out on the course to play hole #9 until a winner would be determined. It didn’t take long, though, as Hart drained a 30-footer for birdie from just off the green to secure the win for his team.
With the win, Team Hart/Griffin will each go home with custom golf shoes, courtesy of our on-site partner, TRUE Linkswear.
There were a total of four team skins recorded on the day – Team Dietsche/Cass with an eagle on hole #7, Team Curdt/Holtby with a birdie on hole #16, and Team Heyn/Silva claimed two skins on holes #14 and #17 with a pair of eagles.
Congratulations to our top two closest-to-the-hole winners – Josh Garber, PGA, of Desert Willow Resort, hit a shot to 11.5” while Michael D’Angelo, a PGA Associate from El Caballero Country Club, hit his tee shot to 15”. Both players and their teammates will take home a pair of custom golf shoes courtesy of TRUE Linkswear, who sponsored the hole.
