Well we had a great weekend to end up our 2019 season, and the golf course was great and food too. And while we didn’t have the quantity of players, we had great quality play. Probably the closest races all year… Champ flt won by 2 strokes, C flt 1 stroke separated top three.. good playing.

Nationals we have one of the biggest groups going in years 21 players, and we have a player in each flight so we will be able to compete in the Team tour challenge.

And congratulations again to ROBERT HAWKINS as the Columbia Tour COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR..as I mentioned Sunday, last year at our event Robert attended on crutches with an amputated leg. In 2019 he competed and also won an event in D Flt…… Congratulations to a great player and friend of the tour.

Look forward to a better 2020 and any ideas let me know…… for new players the BEST WAY is referrals, simple if everybody gets one…… we double!!! Go get one for 2020!!! With more players could get shotgun starts. And we will have some more courses to play with the ownership settling down for many clubs.
