Dofflemyer Outlasts Sloat for First CDGA-Administered Title

A year ago, Robert Dofflemyer was back at work as an air traffic controller on the second day of the CDGA Mid-Amateur Championship. A disappointing finish to his opening Stroke Play Qualifying round at Kemper Lakes Golf Club left the 31-year-old wanting more.

“Last year, I went bogey-double on my final two holes to miss Match Play after grinding out what I thought was a solid round…But, just thinking, ‘Alright, if I play as good as I did last year, not including those last two holes, but just grind out a finish, things might be different.’”

And different they were, indeed, as Dofflemyer not only made it to Match Play, but topped the field at week’s end, defeating Dustin Sloat, 1 up, in the Final Match of the 11th CDGA Mid-Amateur Championship at Glen Flora Country Club Wednesday morning.
