Two days of wonderful golf with 128 golfers giving it their all in pursuit of golf glory as the SaddleBrooke Ranch 2026 Member-Member champion. And when it was all said and done, one team squeaked out a one stroke victory, with Carl Pfeiffer and Alan Rocke taking top honors with a score of 15 under par! Last year’s champions Brian Baker and Eric Taylor finished one stroke back this year at -14 along with Mike McManus and Bill Penaluna. Congratulations to Carl and Alan, our 2026 SBRMGA Member-Member Champions!
