ponta creek golf course is on the naval base in meridian, ms. it was also the sight of our last regular season amateur golf tour event. my decision to go there was nearly one that was game time. about 9:30 on friday night i decided that it would be good to play that tournament before state finals in order to maintain my points lead in B flight. i made arrangements with the tour director to tee off early in order that i might get back to the southern miss game that afternoon (what a disappointment). what i didn't realize until i got there is that it was going to be raining the entire time. and when i say raining, i mean raining. the tour director paired me with troy norton who has won our flights tournaments on several occasions. well.....to make a long story short i shot 8 over for an 80 in the worst conditions i have ever played in. it was good enough to win with second place coming in at 83? i'm not sure. check the web at http://www.amateurgolftour.net/ for tournament details. what sealed the day was my chip-in birdie on a 195 yard par 3 at hole number 18. it won me a $54 dollar skin and pays some of my way toward state finals at grand bear on oct. 4, 5. by the way, my good friend randy bradford scored a hole-in-one on the par 3 number 14! what a great shot! i wish i would have been playing with him. congratulations randy!
