Men’s Senior: Jackson’s Steve Maddalena

Steve Maddalena, a Michigan Golf Hall of Fame member, 3-time Michigan Amateur Champion, former player at U-M and 1988 Men’s Player of the Year, topped the Senior Men’s Honor Roll with 520 points powered by his wins in the GAM Senior Championship and the Senior Division of the GAM Mid-Amateur Championship. He emerged a champion in both out of sudden-death playoffs with birdies on the closing holes.

“If I couldn’t compete, I don’t think I would play,” he said. “I can’t compete with the 19 and 20-year-olds. I can’t hit it far enough any longer. But I can compete with the guys my age, and that’s the part of the game I enjoy – practicing and then putting it to the test.”
