Tri Cities Tournament

July 11, 2009

A big round of applause for how well everything moved at yesterdays tournament at Tri Cities! We did a great job of getting in and taking care of business! Hope this is the norm for the rest of the year! Just a couple of things we need to iron out and I think the remaining tournaments will run a little smoother.

 First of all, I want to thank Pastor John from Sulphur Springs for his inspiring message he brought yesterday. We need more people to share what God is doing in their lives and all of you are surely welcome to do so at anytime! This is your golf league and not mine only!

 Next, I need to let you know how much I appreciate your prayers as I have been going through my surgeries. I have one more litte place to have removed and I should be ok for a while.

 Congratulations to all of yesterdays winners! Trinity Baptist won with a score of 60 in a scorecard play-off. Yesterday's prize hole winners are as follows: Closest to the pin - Blue Tee = Chris Jordan - White tee = Dave Dugger - Gold Tee = Halk Voiles - Red Tee = Morgan Treece. Longest Drive - Blue Tee = Chris Guy - White Tee = Mark Seeger - Gold Tee = Jerry Bradley - Red Tee = Angie Peters. If you won any of these, please see me at Nolichucky View next month for your gift.

 Thanks again guys and gals for making this years tournaments a joy to be a part of and I'll see you next month! Love you guys, Sammy

Great Start at Andrew Johnson

April 20, 2009

A new season has begun for the Son Golf League and we had a great day, food and fellowship. I personally would like to thank all those who helped get us off to a great start in the giving of their time and effort it takes to make our league a success. I would especially like to thank Brandon Burleson and Jim Donaldson for the inspiring message they shared. I know our Lord will bless them for their willingness to be His witnesses in sharing His word.

Congratulations to Fairview Church for being last years winners of the Christian Cup in the Finale at Crockett's Ridge. This year we will also be having a new award in the Finale. The Joe Frazier award in honor of the founder of this league who has had to step away from the league due to health problems. We continue to pray for Bro. Joe and his family in their time of need.

Most of all, I need to thank Jesus Christ our Savior for all He does in the lives of all of us even though we are undeserving of anything he blesses us with and pray that in the sharing of His word many will come to know Him personally and intimately. This league is all about Him and all glory goes to Him. I will see you next month at Elizabethton G.C. Bro. Sammy
