The Nashville and East Tennessee Chapters travelled to the Golf Capital of Tennessee to compete at Lake Tansi Golf Course. This tournament was an elevated tournament which meant a larger prize pool and double points towards our Player of the Year contests. Ninety-one players from five different chapters competed for $4,800 in VISA Gift cards and just over $2,400 in optional side games. The weather was kind to the players early, but washed out the round for the 3 of the 5 divisions. Divisions 1 and 2 were able to complete their rounds while Divisions 3, 4 and 5 had their contests decided by the common holes completed.
