Gareau Team Tops Nicklaus Flight, Kettles Team Wins in Player Playoff, and Pierce Team Annihilates the Palmer Division!! The 2025 Tour of the Brookfields FINALS Results

What an amazing final we had for the 2025 Tour of the Brookfields! It was held on Saturday, September 27th at Quail Hollow Golf and Country Club in Oakham, MA. We had 107 golfers. on 27 teams in 3 different flights. Let’s get into the results!

In the top flight, the Nicklaus flight, the team of Tom Gareau, Nelson Malin, Jared Danitis, and Lisa Persson won. They secured the victory by two strokes by coming in at a super 12-under par. Well done!

In the middle flight, there was a tie between two teams at -12. Team members were: Todd Allen, Paul Boulette, George Fiske, Doug Brown. The members of the opposing tied team were Adam Kettles, Ron McCann, Jarred Dandurrant, Ed Sanborn. A playoff of one hole would ensue with Adam Kettles dropping a 15-footer to win first place. Congrats to both teams!

Lastly, in the Palmer Flight, the team of Amanda Pierce, Jason Malin, Mark Bruso, and Jim Parker absolutely dominated. They achieved a score of 13-under par! This was the best score of the FINALS tournament. It also tied the best score by any team for the entire season, and won by 4 strokes. An absolutely stunning performance – wow!

Below you can see the results of all three flights. You can also see the closest to the pin results. Additionally, the Skins won by flight are displayed. Click on the images to get a better view.

Documents and Info for the 2025 Tour of the Brookfields FINALS Draft Night on September 25th at 7 PM

The Draft night starts at 7 PM SHARP on Thursday, September 25th! All players are welcome, but A players need to come to pick their teams. The prizes and more will be covered there and then. If you need to make picking arrangements, speak directly with a committee member.

If an A player is late, we will still continue at 7 PM. Hence, please plan accordingly.

Arrive early.

Again, all are welcome and encouraged to attend the draft as it is a fun and exciting night!

As the FINALS for the 2025 Tour of the Brookfields season is Saturday, September 27th, I need to share information!! This blog post will have all of the pertinent data for all players. It will highlight the information for the A players. This information will give all players access to the exact same data to use for the Draft Night.

I will share the files here (which are downloadable) and screenshots of the files, with some explanations.

The “A” Players Ranking and Order of Pick Sheet

The screenshot below shows the pick/fill in sheet for the Draft Night, to include the 3 divisions/flights.

NOTE: ALL FILES AND SCREENSHOTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED WITH CHANGES AS OF 9/24/2025

In Round 1, the “A” players will pick in order starting with number 27. Ron Allen is number 27. Scott Fairbanks is number 1, and he picks last in the first round. Players can choose any remaining player (B, C, or D) from the player pool when their turn comes.

In Round 2, the “A” players will pick in order starting with number 1 (Scott Fairbanks). The second round ends with number 27 (Ron Allen). Again, players can choose any remaining player from the player pool when their turn comes.

Round 3 is the “WILDCARD” Round. Each flight will be randomly selected to go first, then second and then third. When a flight is chosen, all of the “A” players in that flight will then be also chosen in a random order. They will pick their final player from any of the remaining players from the player pool. At this point, they will also choose their starting holes at random as well.

The player field is shown below – in order alphabetically by first names.

Below, you can download an Excel file. It has both the the A Player rankings/fill in pick sheets and the 2025 field.

Consolidated Results for ALL 2025 Regular TOB Events

We only had a partial result for the Techo Bloc Open as we had to cobble something together with the monsoon that hit us. Notably, the Lamoureux Ford Open was rained out completely. The screenshots for each event is below, followed by a consolidated Excel file with the same information.

Lastly, here is the downloadable Excel called “2025 TOB Consolidated Event Results”:

I hope that you are looking forward to the Draft Night. I always suggest that everyone comes. You may help your A player with a pick. You may have knowledge that he or she does not. If you are not there – well you cannot help! Plus there are some extra activities that you won’t want to miss!!

See you on September 25th!!
