Muso Grinds Out Opening Round in NCAA Premier
|
Dylan Muso and his McDaniel College teammates have positioned themselves firmly in the podium conversation following a testing opening day at the NCAA Premier Collegiate Tournament.
In what marks the first competitive outing of the spring season for the Green Terror, the squad navigated a challenging course to end the first day in third place overall. With only one round of play remaining, the battle at the top of the leaderboard remains tight. Salisbury currently lead the field with a clinical score of one-over par, while Drew occupy the second spot at four-over. McDaniel sit just nine strokes behind the second-place holders at 13-over par, keeping their hopes of a late surge alive as they head into the final eighteen holes.
The Bermudian standout was central to McDaniel’s resilient start, carding a disciplined round of four-over par 76. Muso’s day was a masterclass in mid-round recovery, characterized by a steady run of 11 pars that allowed him to stay in touch with the leaders despite the technical demands of the greens.
While his scorecard was slightly hindered by three bogeys and a solitary double bogey, Muso demonstrated his scoring potential with a well-earned birdie that provided a crucial momentum shift. As the pressure intensifies for the final round, Muso’s ability to maintain composure will be vital for McDaniel as they look to reel in the leaders and secure a statement victory to open their spring campaign.

Revisions to Membership Rates and Fee Structures at Golf Courses
|
The Government Golf Courses today announce revisions to the membership rates and fee structures for both Port Royal Golf Course and Ocean View Golf Course.
This was done following a comprehensive review aimed at ensuring the long-term sustainability and accessibility of these valued public facilities. The Trustees of the Government Golf Courses have engaged in meaningful consultation with the memberships of both courses.
This process included the exchange of proposals and counter proposals, reflecting a collaborative effort to arrive at a balanced and fair outcome. The Trustees wish to acknowledge and thank members for their constructive input and continued commitment to the success of the courses.
As publicly owned facilities, Port Royal and Ocean View Golf Courses serve a broader mandate beyond their memberships.
While memberships remain an important and valued part of the golfing community, the primary responsibility of the courses is to provide equitable access to the wider public. These revisions have therefore been carefully structured to strike an appropriate balance between maintaining member benefits and ensuring that the general public can continue to enjoy these facilities.
The updated rates and policies are designed to better align with current operating costs, support the financial sustainability of the courses, and enhance the overall quality of the golfing experience. At the same time, the Trustees remain committed to preserving the value and benefits associated with membership, recognizing the important role members play in the vibrancy and success of both courses.
This initiative reflects an ongoing effort to establish a sustainable “middle ground” — one that respects the interests of members while upholding the public nature of the facilities.
The Government Golf Courses will continue to work closely with stakeholders to ensure that both Port Royal and Ocean View remain accessible, well-maintained, and enjoyable for all.
Details regarding the revised membership rates and fee structures have been communicated directly to members and will be made available to the public via the website at www.bermudagolf.bm.

Talcott Cedarberry Bowl Set for Largest Junior Field Yet
|
The 3rd Annual Talcott Cedarberry Bowl will take place from April 10th to 12th, 2026 at Mid Ocean Club, Five Forts Golf Club, and Newstead Belmont Hills, with this year’s event expected to be the largest local junior golf tournament in recent history.
Now in its third year, the tournament continues to grow in both scale and participation, bringing together Bermuda’s leading junior golfers while also creating opportunities for newer players to compete in a fun and supportive setting.
Talcott Financial Group joins the event this year as title sponsor, helping to support an enhanced tournament format and expanded venues.
Its support has also helped reduce entry fees, making the event more accessible and encouraging broader participation across Bermuda’s junior golf community.
The main championship will feature the island’s top junior golfers competing in a 54 hole stroke play tournament. 2-time champion, Oliver Betschart is joined by Arman Newton and Johnny Bart and will lead the field in the 16 to 18 division.
Additional stroke play divisions will include 14 to 15, 12 to 13, and 10 to 11age groups.
Alongside the championship competition, the event will again include a Novice Stableford division, with categories for Open Girls, 12 to 13, and 9 to 11. Novice players will compete over a reduced number of holes each day from restricted tees, a format designed to encourage development, confidence, and enjoyment.
Tournament Director Patrick Graham said the continued growth of the event reflects the positive momentum within junior golf in Bermuda. “The BGA is very proud to host this year’s tournament and grateful to the venues for allowing our juniors to experience their courses over the three days,” said Graham. “We already have 55 junior golfers registered, which is fantastic and represents a significant increase from last year’s field. The tournament is growing year on year, and we are sincerely thankful to our title sponsor, Talcott Financial Group, for coming onboard and helping to reduce entry fees, making participation more accessible for all junior golfers.
We also thank Butterfield Group for its continued support in providing welcome packs for the players, which is very much appreciated. "Registration remains open through the Bermuda Golf Association and Golf Genius website and will close on April 3rd, 2026.For more information or to register, visit the Bermuda Golf Association or Golf Genius event page.

Augustus Reclaims Throne at Ocean View Memorial
|
The fairways of Devonshire were bathed in tradition as the 72nd Annual Memorial Golf Tournament reached a thrilling conclusion at the Ocean View Golf Club. In a tournament defined by clinical shot-making and unwavering composure, four new champions were etched into the club’s storied history books on a morning that celebrated both the competitive spirit and the memory of the island's golfing pioneers.
The headline act of the day was undoubtedly Daniel Augustus, who delivered a masterclass in the Professional Division. Playing with the confidence of a man in peak form, Augustus carded a superb three-under-par 67 to distance himself from a heavyweight field. He faced stiff opposition from the experienced Chaka DeSilva and the legendary Dwayne Pearman, both of whom turned in resilient rounds of 70 to share second place, but neither could quite reel in Augustus as he marched toward the title.
In the Men’s Division, Samuel Robinson emerged as a clear victor after navigating the challenging coastal conditions with impressive consistency. Robinson’s round of 80 was enough to see off the chasing pack, with Rahji Edness finishing in second place with an 88 and Aaron Bean securing third with a 90. The Senior Men’s Division proved to be a much tighter affair, as Earlston Wolffe showcased his enduring class to card a 76 and claim the silverware. Wolffe was pushed to the wire by Richard Jones, who finished just two strokes back with a 78, while Calvin Richardson rounded out the podium with a 79.
The Ladies Division was dominated by Tracy Nash, who produced a composed performance to secure the championship. Nash’s round of 81 provided a comfortable cushion over Katrin Burnie, who finished in second place with an 85, and Ann Symonds, who claimed third with an 86. As the trophies were presented at the historic clubhouse, the event once again reinforced Ocean View’s status as the heartbeat of the local game, providing a fitting tribute to the legends who paved the way for today’s champions.

Star-Studded Field Set for Memorial Showcase
|
The fairways of the Devonshire track are braced for an influx of elite talent this Sunday, March 15th, as the Ocean View Memorial Tournament returns to the local golfing calendar. Organizers have confirmed a shotgun start at eight o'clock, but all eyes will be fixed firmly on the opening host as two of the most formidable foursomes in the history of the event prepare to lead the charge.
The opening group reads like a "who’s who" of Bermudian professional golf. Leading the way is Nick Jones, joined by the clinical Dwayne Pearman and the versatile Scott Roy. Rounding out this heavyweight quartet is Ebonie Cox, whose presence adds significant caliber to a group already brimming with technical prowess. Their departure from the first tee is expected to set a high bar for the rest of the field as they navigate the coastal wind and rolling greens of the Devonshire layout.
Directly following them from the same starting point is a second foursome that carries equally impressive credentials. OJ Pitcher will face off alongside the experienced Chaka DeSilva, while Darriek Douglas—fresh from a team victory in the Landro Minors Memorial last year—adds further depth to the group. Completing this star-studded second wave is Daniel Augustus, whose recent performances on the overseas circuits have marked him as one of the island's most consistent ball-strikers.
The tournament serves as a poignant fixture on the schedule, bringing the community together to honor the late stalwarts of the game while showcasing the current depth of Bermudian talent. With sixteen of the island's top names clustered at the front of the pack, the eight o'clock start promises to provide a high-octane opening to what has become one of the most anticipated memorial fixtures of the season.
