The Member Guest Open House...commonly known as the Member/Guest Tournament was a measured success. Four new faces appeared on the course and four faithful UCC members gave them a real good time. The weather was perfect and the company was entertaining. We played 18 holes of "best ball" format golf. It was surprisingly close after adjusting for handicaps. Mike Collins and his nephew, Steve Powell shot a sizzling 46 first first place money. (I'm happy getting that for nine holes!)
Pat Powell and Lew Puriton managed a 50 and won second place money. Members Bob Richardson and Don Carleton played with guest Dusty Batley and Scott McFarland...coming close, having a good time, but finishing out of the money.
We have got to remember that the only way we are going to increase our membership is by bringing new faces to the course. This tourney is for that purpose. It would have been great...and not too hard to imagine, if there had been three times the number of guest/member attendees. It was a perfect day for golf....and all had a wonderful time!

THE WACKO!
Wacko doesn't quite describe the crazy layout for this year's tournament....but I overheard ideas for the next generation...next year....it should be even wackier!! Many of the shots required in this tournament required shots into, over, or around the woods...so I lost a couple of balls. I did have a great time, though, and look forward to the next big adventure in 2014. Hope to see you all there!
