Drew Sockwell from Florence won Men's Pro Open and took four of the five skins. Also representing Florence, Will Corey won Men's Advanced and Kathy Johnson won AM Women.

Thanks to Bill McCarty and Bill Breckeen for a great weekend. Thanks to all the guys who helped out, including Jack White for all the work on the courses. They looked great!

I recall Wayne Acree won Advanced Masters, James Burton of Florence second.
Crawdaddy won Pro Masters.
Mandy Sharp won Pro Women.

That's all I can remember.

Another great event at Beautiful Tishomingo State Park this weekend.

I would like to thank all of those who played and made this a good event.

Special thanks go out to:

A VERY big thanks to Jack White and James Burton for all their help working on the courses, getting them in probbly the best shape they have ever been. Also to Jack for setting up the Final Five a setting up the Leader Boards, the job usually allocated to Robert "Mac" McDonald who was enjoying his 40th Class Reunion. James also helped with the board and checking score cards.

Thanks also to Jody Neff and John Medlin for their help before, during, and especially after the event!

Thanks to Will Corey, our Advanced Champion for stepping up and helping with the scorecards and ranking the scorecards. It seemed like all the scorecards were turned in in about ten minutes, actually it was probably closer to thirty, just seems faster. I had 12 cards turned in before I could even get the first one checked.

That is because there was such a good job done setting up the boards, the flow was about as good as it gets, very smooth!

Of course there cannnot be enough praise for Bill Brekeen and the the very capable Park Staff for all of their help with the courses, water, and such.

Thanks to Gary Wagoner for getting all set up for the Naional Anthem, even though I rushed through the meeting and did not que him in to play! Sorry Gary, my mistake!

I could not have done it without all of you!

A far as I know, there were no big issues, always have a few little ones, that can't be helped. I hope that eveyone who came had a good time!

One thing I noticed as I entered the figures into the spreadsheet, Steven Solomons final score on the leader board was incorrect, he actually tied with the other two guys in the last paying position in the Amatur Mens Division. If you read this Steven, get with me to claim your winnings! If anyone knows him, please pass this information along to him so he can receive his justly deserved winnings!

Great weather, great people, it just doesn't get much better than that! I hope you all had a good time, come bck and see us in the Spring!

Without furture delay. . can I get a drum roll please. . . .

I guess I should have checked the board closer. What did I win?

By far the smoothest tournament I've been to. The courses looked awesome. The leaves were even blown out of the fairways. I played like crap but still had a great time. Thanks Bills (both of you) :)


P.S. Dont know if it matters but a couple pro ladies were labeled MA2 in the spreadsheet.

The other guys split $43. So you will get around $20 worth of prizes out of my pocket.

Just catch me anytime.

Nah. I'm not gonna ask for anything out of your pocket. Keep it or donate it to a good cause.

Great times with some really cool peeps. Thanks to everyone that helped out. The courses looked AMAZING!

Steven,

The good cause is YOU, for coming out and playing!

I appreciate it, but you still got it coming and you deserve to get it, just see me sometime.

Again, thanks, you're a class act. Hope to see you at Pickwick or the Spring Tourney!

I want to thank Bill McCarty for all the effort he put forth in producing this tournament. Without his hard work and commitment the event might not have happened. What you see on tournament weekend is only the tip of the iceberg. The weather was nothing short of incredible! There were also a number of personal firsts for me.

This was the first time I have been slated to play the National Anthem and never hit a wrong note.

This was the first time I have finished DAL in my division. Which reminds me...Mac, I really wish you could have been there.

This was the first time I have found a copperhead in the shower. Yep, in the little corridor in front of the stalls I spied a 12 inch snake that looked like a copperhead: diamond shaped markings, triangular head, vertical slit pupils, etc, but it was blue/green in color. So I pinned its head (J.T. , I hope you washed that wooden spoon before you used it) and VERY CAREFULLY grabbed it behind the business end and took it to Jack White pass judgement. Jack, whose authority about these matters is unquestionable, judged the snake a copperhead and me nuts for picking it up. This does, however, trump the scorpion found in the next hut over.

Those of you who missed this event missed a great time. Your next opportunity will be the Lee Naquin in Memphis.

Gary Wagoner

One more error on my part! In the Advanced Grand Master Division I paid out $44 plus the Plaque. On my handwritten sheet, upon closer inspection (I need to either get more sleep or new glasses ) it was $94.

So, that being said, I appologize to our Advanced Grand Master Cahmpion, Mr Randy Sharp for my mistake. PLEASE see me the next time and collect your additinal $50 worth of prizes!

And again, sorry about that! I guess I am just as human as everyone esle on the planet.

I am STILL worn slap out and feel like taking a nap!

And again, thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed the wekend in, what I feel, is one of the best Parks in the state of Mississippi.

Oh, and Gary, I have heard you play the National Anthem MANY times! I don't recall you ONCE hitting a wrong note! And, here again, sorry the lost opportunity, we all missed out!

Had a great weekend, fantastic courses and 3 good rounds of golf. Thanks to Bill, and everyone involved in putting this on.

On my way home I found out I got a used disc in my payout, few dings, name inked in it and all.

Darn, I do need to get more sleep at these things, bring it with you the next time and we will get it swapped out!

The way the discs get placed back in different boxes than the one thay were taken out of when people look at them probably caused that, I never look at the bottom of the disc, and if it is not really noticible I could miss one! A lot of the discs that get traded are not throw much and are still in pretty good shape!

I will be at the Lee Naguin Memorial the first weekend in November and the Please Pass the Stuffing II at Pickwick Plantation the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Unless you are in the Iuka area. . .

Thanks for lettin g me know!
