The Upstate SC Chapter of the Amateur Players Tour held its third tournament off the 2023 season at The Club of Brookstone in Anderson, SC. The expected overcast and cool temperatures did not keep players from playing and the field SOLD OUT at 52 players. Even with the rain received over the last week, the golf course was able to allow golf carts off the path and was in good shape. The staff was phenomenal to work with and the most excitement was the $1 beer day! Chapter Owner Larry Lee ran a tab for all the players to enjoy this discount.
