JEANIE ANDREW-BRENNAN SANG A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER TO CELEBRATE JULY 4TH

Rain, rain … go away. And it did for most of our Independence Day tournament, other than some sprinkles here and there throughout the round. However, the Royal course was very wet having received 1.5″ of rain in the past 24 hours. Despite the conditions, the tournament drew a field of 124 enthusiastic players who competed in four flights. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places earned $100, $80, $70, and $50 respectively per team in Pro Shop credit. Teams also competed for skins in each flight, with $100 available per flight. A total of 17 skins were won. Festive outfits of red, white and blue – as well as many stars and stripes – were seen everywhere on the course, and the flag pins sported patriotic flags.

The first-place winners per flight were:

•        Flight 1: BJ Hurst, Bobby Roberts, Porter Roberts, and Dave Ginter.

•        Flight 2: Kaye & Rich Barrick, Sharon Hulick, and Duke Murphy.

•        Flight 3: Shawna & Bob Fay, and Lisa & Tony Gordon.

•        Flight 4: Cathy O’Shia, Allyn Leake, and Norene & Brian McFadden

Following golf, players gathered in the Palms Dining Room to enjoy a delicious buffet.
