Loeffler, a three-time winner of the Colorado Open and the 1986 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, has the distinction of having competed in the Colorado Cup in every decade it’s been held — the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s and the 2010s.
Furthermore, he’s played multiple times for both the amateur and the professional sides. And he can still distinctly remember competing for the amateur team in the 1978 Cup, when he beat Warren Smith, the much-revered Cherry Hills Country Club head professional. One of Loeffler’s amater teammates that year was Steve Jones, who would go on to win the 1996 U.S. Open.
“As an amateur I always thought, ‘God, if we could just beat these professionals,'” Loeffler said Wednesday. “And now as a professional, it’s like, ‘We can’t let these amateurs win; we’re supposed to be the professionals. We’re supposed to be the cream of the crop.'”
And so it goes in the annual competition, the 44th of which was held Wednesday at the Golf Club at Bear Dance in Larkspur. It’s always been a friendly matchup, but make no mistake about it: each side wants to win.
“It’s all fun, but when you get out there, it’s like, you don’t want to lose either,” said four-time CGA Mid-Amateur champion Keith Humerickhouse, the men’s amateur open division captain. “It’s that competitiveness that we all love. Camaraderie is awesome, (but) ultimately you want to win. I don’t care who you are.”
On Wednesday, the Cup matches ended up in a split decision. The men’s amateurs won the open division for the first time in four years. The professionals prevailed in the senior division for the eighth time in nine years. And the amateur women defeated the pros for the 10th time in as many tries.
The CGA amateurs edged their Colorado PGA counterparts 10-8 in the open competition after the completion of four-ball and singles matches. That makes the all-time series 30-12 in the professionals’ favor, with two ties.
With Loeffler going 2-0 on the day, the host Colorado PGA continued to dominate the men’s senior division, prevailing this time by a 13.5-4.5 count. That evens up the all-time senior series 15-15, with two ties.
And the CWGA representatives (pictured above) kept intact their run of perfection in the Colorado Cup, winning 7-2 on Wednesday.
“This is my first time in it, so I didn’t really know what to expect coming in,” said amateur Kathleen Kershisnik, who was under par in winning both her singles and four-ball matches. “But I definitely knew it would be awesome to beat them. I didn’t know we were completely undefeated (all time in the women’s competition), so that’s nice. It probably would have pushed me to do better if I knew that beforehand. I kind of like the pressure. But I’m glad we did (win) it. It’s just a fun event.”
While the men’s senior and women’s division were somewhat lopsided affairs, the men’s open division was close enough that only four of the 24 players involved won both of their matches: amateurs John Ahern and Dylan Mitchell, and professionals Rob Hunt and Eric Bradley.
Humerickhouse rallied late in his singles match with Tray Shehee to square things going into the final hole. But, showing that there’s plenty of sportsmanship to go around in the event, both players agreed to halve their match after they had put their second shots side by side just off the green on the par-5 eighth hole, their last of the day.
“We turned to each other and he said, ‘halve?’ and I said, ‘100 percent I’ll take a halve,'” said Humerickhouse, a former professional who was playing in the Colorado Cup for the first time. “It was awesome. We both were thinking the same thing. That was a perfect ending. On the tee I said, ‘Let’s both make eagle and be done with it.’ And it turns out that’s what happened in a roundabout way.”
And then there was Kershisnik, who made four birdies on the first five holes of her 6-and-5 singles victory over Katie Milstead.
“I played very well and I got the putter going,” said Kershisnik, a University of Wyoming golfer. “When I started out that second match really hot, (Milstead) was giving me a little bit of grief and saying she’s too old for this. It was fun.”
In all, 60 players competed in the event at Bear Dance.

When it comes to the Colorado Cup matches between some of the state’s best professional and amateur golfers, perhaps no one has more perspective than Bill Loeffler.
Loeffler, a three-time winner of the Colorado Open and the 1986 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, has the distinction of having competed in the Colorado Cup in every decade it’s been held — the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s and the 2010s.
Furthermore, he’s played multiple times for both the amateur and the professional sides. And he can still distinctly remember competing for the amateur team in the 1978 Cup, when he beat Warren Smith, the much-revered Cherry Hills Country Club head professional. One of Loeffler’s amater teammates that year was Steve Jones, who would go on to win the 1996 U.S. Open.
“As an amateur I always thought, ‘God, if we could just beat these professionals,'” Loeffler said Wednesday. “And now as a professional, it’s like, ‘We can’t let these amateurs win; we’re supposed to be the professionals. We’re supposed to be the cream of the crop.'”
And so it goes in the annual competition, the 44th of which was held Wednesday at the Golf Club at Bear Dance in Larkspur. It’s always been a friendly matchup, but make no mistake about it: each side wants to win.
“It’s all fun, but when you get out there, it’s like, you don’t want to lose either,” said four-time CGA Mid-Amateur champion Keith Humerickhouse, the men’s amateur open division captain. “It’s that competitiveness that we all love. Camaraderie is awesome, (but) ultimately you want to win. I don’t care who you are.”
On Wednesday, the Cup matches ended up in a split decision. The men’s amateurs won the open division for the first time in four years. The professionals prevailed in the senior division for the eighth time in nine years. And the amateur women defeated the pros for the 10th time in as many tries.
The CGA amateurs (pictured at top) edged their Colorado PGA counterparts 10-8 in the open competition after the completion of four-ball and singles matches. That makes the all-time series 30-12 in the professionals’ favor, with two ties.
With Loeffler going 2-0 on the day, the host Colorado PGA continued to dominate the men’s senior division, prevailing this time by a 13.5-4.5 count. That evens up the all-time senior series 15-15, with two ties. (The winning professional team is pictured above, primarily in orange.)
And the CWGA representatives (left) kept intact their run of perfection in the Colorado Cup, winning 7-2 on Wednesday.
“This is my first time in it, so I didn’t really know what to expect coming in,” said amateur Kathleen Kershisnik, who was under par in winning both her singles and four-ball matches. “But I definitely knew it would be awesome to beat them. I didn’t know we were completely undefeated (all time in the women’s competition), so that’s nice. It probably would have pushed me to do better if I knew that beforehand. I kind of like the pressure. But I’m glad we did (win) it. It’s just a fun event.”
While the men’s senior and women’s division were somewhat lopsided affairs, the men’s open division was close enough that only four of the 24 players involved won both of their matches: amateurs John Ahern and Dylan Mitchell, and professionals Rob Hunt and Eric Bradley.
(Among those with at least one win on the day were the foursome pictured adjacent, from left in orange, professionals Geoff Keffer and Blake Sharamitaro, along with University of Colorado teammates David Oraee and Ethan Freeman.)
Humerickhouse rallied late in his singles match with Tray Shehee to square things going into the final hole. But, showing that there’s plenty of sportsmanship to go around in the event, both players agreed to halve their match after they had put their second shots side by side just off the green on the par-5 eighth hole, their last of the day.

The Golf Club at Bear Dance, the Cardiac Kids of the 2013 CGA Team Interclub season, appropriately went down to the wire to claim the Interclub title Sunday at Murphy Creek Golf Course in Aurora.
During the course of seven Interclub matches this year, six times Bear Dance saw a 36-point competition decided by six points or fewer, with five of those being wins. And, in most improbable fashion, it played two 18-18 matches, needing tiebreakers to advance through the round of 16 and the quarterfinals of the playoff portion of the Team Interclub.
Sunday marked yet another close competition, but a good showing by Bear Dance’s “C” players gave the club a 20-16 victory over Todd Creek Golf Club — and the 2013 Team Interclub title.
“Every hole counts,” noted non-playing captain Cy Twete, an assistant PGA professional at Bear Dance. “We had a couple of 18-18 ties. It just shows every shot matters and just because you’re out of a hole doesn’t mean that you need to give up. I think our guys showed that.”
After 95 matches over the last six months, the Team Interclub Championship came down to the last foursome of Sunday’s finals.
Bear Dance (team pictured above) needed just one point — at least a halve out of a four-ball and two singles matches — from that final group, and it got that and a little bit more.
With a 3-and-1 singles victory by Gregory Bishop over Todd Creek’s Ed Rodriguez, Bear Dance clinched the championship in the season-long net match play competition which originally featured 64 team entrants from across the state.
“This was our first year in (the Team Interclub),” noted Dan Brown, one of five Bear Dance players who won both his singles and four-ball matches on Sunday. “We had a lot of guys involved and had a really good time with it. We had a lot of great matches and really enjoyed the camaraderie and being able to see all the players from around the state.”
Bear Dance handed Todd Creek its first loss of the season.
“We were in the finals, but I’m a little disappointed we didn’t win,” said Todd Creek captain Ed Strain, who also went 2-0 on Sunday. “We went 6-0 and this was the only match we lost this year. But all you can do is put a peg in the ground and hit it, and play the game the way it plays. A lot of matches went to 18 today and I’m proud of the guys. We’ll try again next year.”
The finals, like every previous Team Interclub match in a season that started May 5, featured two 12-man teams squaring off, with singles and four-ball matches held concurrently. Each individual match was worth two points — two for a win and one for a tie.
After the first four foursomes — out of six — had completed play Sunday, Bear Dance and Todd Creek were tied at 12 points each. But Andy Maestas and Steve Stroud swept both their singles matches and their four-ball match in the fifth group to give Bear Dance a six-point lead. Then Bishop put the Larkspur-based club over the top with his singles victory.
“I think most of the matches went well,” Strain said. “I think the only group that’s real disappointed is our fifth group off (Chad Powell and John Taylor). They had a good lead and they gave it away. I think they’re a little disappointed they didn’t finish strong.
“The hard part about this match is we don’t get to pair up the guys. Our fifth group had never played together before. I think that (lack of chemistry) kind of hurt them. In my match, (Delfido Rodriguez) and I have played probably 200 or 300 rounds together, so we know each other. So when you’re down, you know how to pick each other up.”
The five Bear Creek players who won both their singles and four-ball matches on Sunday were: Brown and Justin Borzych (pictured at left and below), John Arensberg, Maestas and Stroud. Four had perfect records for Todd Creek: Rodriguez, Strain, Joe Rizzi and Kevin Nicks.
All told, Sunday’s matches featured three pairs of father-sons competing: for Todd Creek, Ed and Kyle Strain, and Ed and Delfido Rodriguez; and for Bear Dance, Chuck and Justin Borzych.
Brown, for one, chalked up Bear Dance’s success in part to camaraderie.
“We accomplished something that we set out to try to do and had a really, really good time doing it,” he said. “We have a great group of guys who have a lot of fun together. And we just carry that over to the golf course.”
Added Twete: “This means quite a bit. This is our first year (competing) in it and we took a lot of pride in it. We put all our accomplishments on email (updates). Guys would play practice rounds, they’d get excited about it and get other guys to play.”
Following the finals of the Team Interclub, which concluded the CGA championship season, the CGA presented the junior golf programs at the courses of the two finalists donations of $500 each.
The CGA Team Interclub “regular season” lasted from May through early August, with geographically-linked groups of four teams playing round-robins against one another. The team from each group with the highest point total advanced to the playoffs, which ran August through October.
Bear Dance finished the season with 4 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties, while Todd Creek went 6-1.
This year marked the fourth CGA Team Interclub. The Ranch Country Club won the title in 2010 and Lone Tree Golf Club prevailed the last two years.

The CGA Team Interclub Championship is a breed apart when it comes to golf tournaments.
Where most tourneys last four days or fewer, the 2013 Team Interclub will span 175 days. It began with a couple of regular-season matches on May 5, and it’ll conclude with the championship finals Oct. 27 at Murphy Creek Golf Course in Aurora.
What started out as a competition involving a record 64 teams — seven of which later withdrew or forfeited all their matches — will finish on the final Sunday of October when a contingent from Todd Creek Golf Club in Thornton squares off with its counterparts from the Golf Club at Bear Dance in Larkspur.
All told, 95 matches will have been played in 2013 in the season-long net match play competition that involves golf clubs from throughout the state.
The “regular season” lasted from May through early August, with geographically-linked groups of four teams playing round-robins against one another. The team from each group with the highest point total advances to the playoffs, which run August through October.
Both in the regular season and the playoffs, teams of a dozen men each — of widely varying abilities — square off, with singles and four-ball matches held concurrently. Each individual match is worth two points — two for a win and one for a tie.
Either way next weekend’s finals go, a first-time champion will be crowned. This is only the fourth official season for the CGA Team Interclub, with the Ranch Country Club winning in 2010 and Lone Tree Golf Club each of the last two years. This summer, Lone Tree finished third in its regular-season group and failed to advance to the playoffs.
As for the 2013 finalists, the Bear Dance team has appeared to live a charmed life. It won its regular-season group by a single point (57-56) over runner-up Heritage Eagle Bend, then won tiebreakers in both the round of 16 (over Meadow Hills) and quarterfinals (over Sunset) to advance in the single-elimination playoffs. Overall for 2013, Bear Dance sports a record of 3 wins, 1 loss and two ties in its six matches to date. But it did win its semifinal match handily, 28-8 over West Woods.
Todd Creek, meanwhile, has gone 6-0 to this point, outscoring its opponents by a combined 142-74. It defeated 2012 finalist Rifle Creek 22-14 in the semifinals.
Though neither of the semifinals went down to the wire, the previous rounds of the playoffs certainly had their share of nail-biters. In the 11 round-of-16 and quarterfinal matches that were played — one was forfeited — there were five 18-18 ties that had to be broken and three other matches that were decided by four points or fewer.
This year’s number of entries for the CGA Team Interclub — 64 — was up from 59 in 2012, 52 in 2011 and 40 in 2010.
The Team Interclub concludes the 2013 CGA championship season.
