The weather was warm and sunny on July 23, a great day for 18 holes of golf.
The 5 Star Golf Club, south of Falher, hosted their annual couples tournament, with 48 people participating.
Dave Chapodos, the coordinator, is pleased with how the event went.
“We had a mixture of members and non-members,” he says.
“It shows our club is growing in popularity. The condition of the course is second to none. The event gets bigger and better each year and the competition gets stronger.”
The first round of nine holes consisted of alternate shot. The second round was the two-ball, best-ball format.
The tournament was divided into three flights, with eight couples each. The winners in each flight were:
