Sequoyah Country Club

Lawyers & Judges (Golf Association) played our March Sequoyah C.C. event yesterday, March 11, 2022.  We were limited to 24 golfers and after cancellations the waitlist was exhausted, so it seems that everyone who wanted the suffering that Sequoyah offered, got it.

Our 1:30 shotgun was pushed back about 10 minutes, so some unfortunately finished in dark conditions.  If we can get a post Daylight Savings Time date next year, we’ll do that.

We had beautiful March weather, temp in the low 60’s and only light winds.  Even without strong winds, most found it difficult to score.  Sequoyah’s greens provided all the defense the course needed.  They were very quick downhill.  Which would have been fine, but the difficulty reading the greens made uphill and downhill not always easy to discern, but shots that stopped short of the flag were easier putts than downhill putts from behind the hole.

In addition to our usual gross, net, closest to the hold and long drive contests, we also had an NCGA qualifier with four teams of two competing to qualify for two spots. 

The big winner of the day was Jon Nightingale who took third net and won both Closest to the Hole contests.  Congratulations Jon!
