The 2021 OnCore Cup was exciting, fun, competitive, and wet! It was a rainy day at Niagara Frontier Golf Club, but it did not stop the competitors from making the drive out to Lewiston, NY. The duos were assigned to either Team ELIXR or Team VERO. Then, the duos faced off against the opposing team’s duo where they played the front nine as a team-best ball match and the back nine as singles matches.
It was a rainy battle between Team VERO and Team ELIXR. But, in the end, Team VERO came out victorious in a confident fashion. The points came out to be 23 to 16. Team VERO’s Richard Wosky (@rwosky) and Rich Hans (@rich_hansteam) had the low net score of the day totaling 140 (-2).
Team OnCore was proud to have Nathan Forrestel (@nathanthegolfer), who has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, played in the Cup with John Osberg. Nate overcomes this disability through his passion for golf and inspiring others to “Hit Bombs” just as he does.
The mission of the 2021 OnCore Cup was to bring individuals together to play in a different type of fundraiser tournament. The competitors had the chance to play competitively while having fun on an awesome course. Unfortunately, last year we could not create this event because of the pandemic. This year we wanted to bounce back with an epic tournament that can leave a memory in each of the competitors that played.
