Harbour Pointe Golf Club hosted its first-ever Turkey Trot tournament during the weekend of November 19-20th. There was a total of 22 teams and 44 players that participated in the event. This included three men's flights and a women's division. During the two-day event, four different 9-hole formats were used. These formats consisted of Scramble, Best Ball, Texas Scramble, and Alternate Shot.
After day one, hors' devours and drinks were served in The Pointe Restaurant. While this was going on, a Closest-to-the-Pin competition was held on the front deck to the putting green. Each participant had two shots to get the ball as close to the hole as possible. Winning the competition and taking home a $50 gift certificate with a shot to 2 feet, was Melissa Drake!
Temperatures dropped on day two, making for cold conditions on the golf course. Teams had to quickly adjust as the toughest format of Alternate Shot was being played. During this format, players could decide who would tee off on the odd holes or the even holes. Players would then alternate from there until the ball was holed.
At the conclusion of the second day, there was a shootout amongst the men's flight winners to determine an overall champion. An alternate shot format on hole #9 was played. It came down to a three-foot putt in which the team of Paul Cormier and Denny Aultman sank to be declared champions! Congratulations to all of our winners of the Turkey Trot, thank you to everyone who participated!
