MEMPHIS LOCALFINALS @ PLANTATION
Olive Branch, MS - On Saturday and Sunday, the Memphis Golfweek Amateur held it's final tourney of the season at the Plantation Golf Club to determine the flight winners for the season. Plantation's Brian Wood and his entire staff did a great job for our tournament! Thanks to all of you! Longhorn Steakhouse provided the food for the event and it was fantastic! Thank you very much Craig, Jeremy, and staff!
The putting contest playoffs/finals were also held at the Plantation tournament with the quarterfinals on Saturday, and the semifinals/finals on Sunday. After the Saturday playoff rounds, Phillip Roberts, Danny McDougal, Ed McDugle, and Greg Cryder advanced to Sunday. In the first round on Sunday, no "hole outs" by Ed, Phillip, or Danny, Greg Cryder holes out on his first try to win the 1st place prize! In the fight for second, Danny McDougal holed out on his first try and needed misses by Phillip and Ed to win second place...............after some VERY close misses by both Phillip & Ed, Danny gets 2nd place. Phillip & Ed tied for third place. Thanks to all that entered the putting contest this season, and we hope to make it a bigger/better game next season.
Its been a good year for the Memphis tour, and we hope to grow and get better for the future. Thanks to all the golfers that came out and played on the Memphis Golfweek Amateur Tour in 2012, we really appreciate it guys.
