Tournament Champions
Our Local Finals were held at General’s Retreat at Hermitage Golf Course this past weekend. Fifty-one players competed for prizes totaling over $5,300 and enhanced points for the season-long Player of the Year races. The weather was outstanding both days and was well-deserved for those players that had to endure poor weather during some of our chapter’s tournaments this season.
The Division 1 competition delivered an intense showdown that went down to the wire. In a one-hole playoff, Nick Goss from Nashville, emerged as the victor, displaying incredible skill and composure.
Goss’s journey to the top included two solid rounds of golf, finishing with a total score of 144, even par for both days. His impressive performance under pressure earned him the top spot and a well-deserved $350 prize.
Dennis King of Nashville, put up a fierce fight, finishing tied for first with Goss at 144. However, it was Goss who secured the playoff victory, leaving King in the second spot with $135 in winnings.
Ramsey Kimbrough of Soddy Daisy finished in 5th place which was enough to secure Player of the Year honors for Division 1. His season was highlighted by five 1st place finishes including his 2-under round of 70 in the season opener at Old Fort.
