1994 CCV Player Profiles
Detailed match play records
Jim Nelson
In his second year of captaincy for CCV, Nelson is seeking desperately to return Cup to CCV trophy room. Nelson has not had a win in River Cup play since 1990. May go the way of William B. Correll if he can't improve on past performances.
John Leitch
Unluckiest player in Cup history. Game has been in steady decline since 1989, some fear it may drop off cliff this year. Holds record for shortest drive in River Cup history. His drive on the par-5 sixth hole in last year's four ball play at CCV was measured at 8 yards, but 6 of those were lateral.
Rob Leitch
Shown the door as Captain before 1993 River Cup. Playing status also a question mark. Has been demoted to one-day player only. May be distracted by birth of daughter Katherine on October 20.
Cliff Culley
Bolstered his standing on CCV squad with 4-0 shutout over Doug Bryant in last year's singles play. Previously had been the subject of considerable scorn among his CCV team mates for his poor play in previous years. Still has not been promoted to full playing status, sharing duties this year again with R. Leitch.
Doug Westmoreland
The forgotten player in last year's lost ball controversy on the 18th hole in his match with partner George Moorman against Joby Klotz and Langdon Moss. Westmoreland hit his signature drive off the 18th tee, yanking it obi-wan-kenobe left, leaving Moorman the unenviable task of playin g the hole solo. Looking to play a more vital role in this year's reprise of that match.
George "Ear" Moorman
Leading point getter all time for CCV. Hasn't had to get many to reach that status. Jumped over John Leitch in the standings after Leitch's stumbling performance last year. Ear is one of the River Cup's storied performers. Most of the stories involve his poor swing.
Bill Cramme
One of three CCV players under consideration as MVP of last year's squad. MVP Committee refused to grant an award for the CCV team due to overall poor play of the team. Cramme filed desperate appeal, pleading that it would deny him his "only chance for celebrity status, glory, rank distinction [sic], high honor, and praise, sublimity [sic], prestige, fame and renown." Still awaiting the Committee's ruling.
Ted Armstrong
Returning to the River Cup after last year's absence, the lanky Armstrong is one of the smooth swingers on the CCV team. Unfortunately, he does his swinging off the golf course. Former MVP.
Wes Morck
One of the more consistent players on CCV side. Last year consistently shot 98's on two different courses. Hoping to improve on that performance this year.
Will "Brother" Scott
Also returning to River Cup play after a two year absence. Scott's rookie year in 1992 was characterized by considerable controversy as the brash Scott was at the center of two scuffles, both of them quelled by marshalls. Scott's game marked by poor play around the greens, but he makes up for it with his creative scorekeeping.
Mark Sweeney
A River Cup rookie, but nonetheless one of the more storied players in the River Cup by virtue of his closely watched litigation against numerous River Cup officials. In an unusual twist, Sweeney was more likely to be admitted to the River Cup Hall of Fame had he never played since his game is nowhere near as interesting to watch as was his absence.
Jeff Hudgins
Proves the old adage that a golfer seldom needs to hit a spectacular shot unless the one that precedes it was pretty bad. Hudgins lucky enough so far to have made a lot of spectacular shots, but spotlight will be on him this year because no one else on CCV side is worth watching.
Chris Young
His brother in law Captain Nelson brings Young in this year to fill out the CCV lineup. Young once took a lesson from venerable pro Harvey Penick. After watching him struggle throughout the session, Penick told him "I can see only one thing that will make your game more fun." "What is that?" asked an anxious Young. "Always play with new balls."
