We have a field of 46 teams that played in our 2026 Member/Member tournament this past weekend. Both days were typical June weather, hot and muggy but at least we did not have any storms.
The Men’s Golf Association provided breakfast both days prior to the beginning of play. A Bar bq rib plate was provided prior to the start of the Calcutta on Saturday. The rib plates were fantastic and they were prepared by Bulldog Bar Bq in Sylacauga. Ray Lineberry and Papa John’s Pizza provided pizzas after Sunday’s round.
All of the scores were based on net results except for the one prize of the low gross score. We had a tie for that prize between the teams of Nathan Fernandez/Myles Fincher and B G Simmons/Harry Gaither. Both teams posted a gross total of 123. We held a shootout on #18 and the team of Fernandez/Fincher won it on the second attempt.
