FATHERS' DAY TOURNAMENT DRAWS 60 TEAMS

The Fathers' Day Tournament did not end with the regulation round as it had to be extended to a playoff when David  & Berek Dyson and Paul & Dustin Gunkel ended up with identical 59's and had to go play a sudden death playoff, where the Gunkels defeated the Dysons in the first playoff hole with a 25 foot birdie putt by dad Paul. David Dyson, who played with two of his sons, finished 3rd with his son Colin at 61.... he must be resting today!


Personally, I had a lot of fun because for the first time I was able to play in a Father - Child tournament with one of my daughters. My daughter Paola (OKC, OK) came to stay over the weekend. We finished at 62. Our group included my daughter's husband Jeff Bennett and his father Mark; we played with Calvin Adkisson and Bill Weatherly. If the rest of the fathers playing had half the fun I had, it was a very successful tournament.


A special thanks to  Ann Cowan who as usual, came earlier than most golfers to see what was needed in order to start on time... NO SURPRISE HERE, THE TOURNAMENT STARTED RIGHT AT 9:00 A.M.! And of course, thank you to my Mona who helped me by taking all of the teams' pictures while I played the tournament!
