A tiebreaker needed to be used to determine the winner because the local sheriff’s department also shot a 51. According to the course handicap, both teams birdied the 17th, but team Cunningham birdied the 7th while the Sheriff’s Department made a par. Coming in third place was Finchers Inc. Frank Fincher led fellow team members Woody Clay, Richard Harrell, and David Ashwell to an 18 under par 52 .

Coming in first place in the senior division was Team Wayne Adams. Dr. Adams, David Cothran, Sam Lewis, and Eddie Powell shot a 15 under 55 to win the division by 1 stroke. Coming in second place were Ray Green, Lott Rodgers, Ray Bradley, and Dexter Gilliam. Third place in the Senior Division went to Bill Confroy, Ted Bennett, Mark Foster, and Mac Lacy.

The proceeds from this event will benefit local children at the YMCA participating in after school and summer day camp programs.
