Ricky Jones Wins MSGA Player of the Year Award
Thomaston's Ricky Jones is the Maine State Golf Association Player of the Year Award winner - for the 11th time. No golfer has won it more times than Jones.
It is called the Dr. Leonardo Buck Player of the Year Award and it goes to the amateur golfer who scores the most points in championship events and MSGA weekend and mid-week events.
The award season runs from August 1st last year through July 31st this year.
The 44-year-old Jones closed out the scoring year with a second place finish at the Maine Amateur Championship and second lowest scoring amateur at the Maine Open.
Winning the top award guarantees Jones a spot of the Maine team for the upcoming Tri-State Matches, which is a Vermont-New Hampshire-Maine Ryder Cup style event. And, Jones will play in the USGA State Team Championship event this fall in Alabama.
