Chipley Kiwanis Club Marvin Ingram Memorial Golf Tournament, Saturday, November 6, 2010

 Chipley, FL, Saturday, November 6, 2010.  After a 1-hour “frost delay” imposed by the golf course to protect the grass, the 2nd Annual Kiwanis Marvin Ingram Memorial Golf Tournament teed-off at 9:00 a.m. Saturday in a 3-person scramble format with 18 teams.  The weather was clear but cold throughout the morning as the contestants completed the 7,040 yards for 18 holes at the Sunny Hills Golf & Country Club. 

All participants were complementary about the outstanding course conditions, and with the sun

and clear skies, the course was a multitude of shades of green, with the ponds reflecting the trees and sky.

Play was completed at 2:00 p.m., due to the late start, and the teams enjoyed a hot lunch with a choice of BBQ pork or chicken, potato salad, beans, slaw, and fresh-baked cookies for desert. 

Winners of the overall tournament were the team of Mickey Chance, Jeff Goodman, and Duffer Harrison with a team score (best shots) of 58 for 18 holes.  Second place went to the team of Charley Locke, David Phillips, and Mike Welch with a score of 59.  Third place was taken by the team of Lee Anderson, Ryan Anderson, and Russ Anderson with a score of 62.  Fourth place finishers were the team of Bill Howell, Brice Brodsky, and Mac Tucker scoring 63.  Fifth place went to Ron McDanial, Fred Peel, and Bob Deal with 64.  Other team efforts were:

 Longest Drive was by Jordon Rudd on Hole #7, with Closest to the Pin shorts by Nick Gay on #8, and Kevin White on #15.

There was an abundance of prizes for the top finishers, as well as door prizes drawn at random so that most players received something of value in addition to participating in the charitable event benefiting the youth of Washington County.  Tournament Chair Colby Peel reported that after all costs were covered, it appear the tournament would clear about the same as last year, which was a record for the Kiwanis Golf Tournaments.

At the closing, current Kiwanis Club president David Corbin reminded everyone that all proceeds from events like the golf tournament, dinner theatre, fruit & nut sales, pancake breakfast, and others, go into a special projects fund and are never used to operate the club, which funds administrative costs from dues paid by members. 

The Kiwanis Club of Chipley has been providing support to youth oriented events and programs for 70 years and last year supported 31 organizations throughout the county.  

The annual fruit sale is underway now through December 7th with delivery around December 17th.  This year the club has also added a gourmet 3 pound mixed nut item in a designer tin with no peanuts, and these will be available from merchant displays as well as from Kiwanis members.

The club meets Tuesdays at Pattillo’s Restaurant in the middle of the Washington-Holmes County Technical Center (WHTC) at Noon.   For an invitation to lunch, contact any Kiwanian or call David Solger, Membership Chairperson, at (850) 638-1276.
