Annual 4Ball at Columbia Country Club


the 4ball festivities kick off this friday with a shootout that morning and skins game that afternoon. that evening there will be a putting contest and a long drive contest as well. i will be playing with russ foxworth again this year to team up for what will hopefully be a better finish than last year. we did good on saturday but not on sunday. i hope that we can close the show with a better finish. we played together earlier this year in the ben berry buddy ball at columbia country club and were lucky enough to come in first place. i hope we can pick up where we left off. i will have to miss out on my next AGT tournament at brookhaven being the fact that they are taking place on the same weekend. it should be a lot of fun as usual.

The Mississippi Masters - Windance CC


i played one of the prettiest golf courses in mississippi this past weekend. the amateur golf tour held the "mississippi masters" at windance country club in gulfport ms. on saturday. this was only the 4th tournament that i have played this season of 7, but couldn't pass up the opportunity for a double points major.
i started out horribly going +4 after three holes. but 15 holes and 4 birdies later i netted a 78. this was good enough for a tie for 1st place which went to the scorecards. a scorecard playoff determines the winner based on how two tied played the hardest hole on the course. i was lucky enough to birdie it and capture the masters title on the par 5 #16. it moved me to 3rd place in the A flight point standings. check out the standings here http://www.amateurgolftour.net/mississippi_tour_pages/standings.asp not bad for only playing 4 tournaments to the leaders 7. headed to brookhaven cc next then dancing rabbit.
