Its The Match Between the States at The WANADA Open!

The WANADA Open will have an added element of competition this year as teams from Virginia and Maryland compete for the first ever WANADA Cup.

The format is similar to the Ryder Cup golf competition held each year between teams from the United States and Europe and was created by the WANADA Open Committee to see just which side of the river has the best golfing talent within the dealer community. This should be great fun and we hope WANADA members will come to cheer on their home team, said Open Committee chairman Tony Santy of Chesapeake Petroleum.

The WANADA Cup competition will take place at the same time as the WANADA Open with the two competing foursomes teeing off last so all the days Open participants can root them on as they finish their head-to-head, best-ball match.

Representing Virginia will be captain Chip Lindsay of Lindsay Automotive, Andy Haye of Ourisman Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep, Burke OMalley of Sterling Chevrolet and Don Bavely of Rosenthal Companies.

Representing Maryland will be captain Chip Doetsch of Apple Ford, Bill Cash of Fitzgerald Auto Malls, Vince Sheehy of Sheehy Auto Stores and Bill Andrakakos of Hersons Honda.

The WANADA Cup competitors will not be eligible to win the Open competition, but the winning team will have bragging rights and their names inscribed on the Champions Plaque that will be on display in the WANADA offices. They will also receive individual trophies.
