A total of fifty-five teams representing twenty-six clubs from around the state competed in this year’s TPGA Club Car Pro-Official Championship at Governors Club in Brentwood, TN. Each two person team, consisting of a Tennessee PGA Professional and one official from his or her club, competed in both a Gross and a Net better ball division.
The day began with the competitors enjoying a plated lunch prepared by Governors Club. During lunch, players had the pleasure of hearing from former Tennessee Titan Frank Wycheck. After a brief warm-up period, the teams teed off at 1:00 in a shotgun start. Chattanooga Country Club’s Bruce Etter and official Tom Baird combined to birdie 12 holes in route to winning the Team Gross Division with a score of 60. In the Team Net division, Glenn Hudson and Richard Comer of LaFollette Country Club took the title with a 13-under-par 59.
