There was a record turn out at the Jeff City Open! Seventy-four players took advantage of this year's event and were treated to a beautifully prepared course courtesy of the Jeff City Parks Department and the local club! Thank you all, the course truly looked outstanding.

The EDGE raffle was again a success with $235 being raised. The pot continues to grow! Thanks to all the people who see this program as a huge way to grow the sport and contribute!

Along with the well kept course the weather was near perfect as well. A brisk morning gave way to a warm and comfortable day. George Smith, defending champion came out with a one stroke lead after the first round, and he never looked back. I witnessed one of the most beautiful drives to have ever been thrown at Binder Park. George put his drive about 15' away from the basket (that was in the long position) on hole 18. Remarkable George, congratulations on back to back wins in the Open division.

Other winners included:
Brenda Lowe
Rebekah Kersey
Dan Loomis
Eric Lewis
Tyler Eads
Bill Hecht
Ty Brix
Randy Slaughter
Congratulations to all of you!

A special thanks to all of our sponsors, the Jeff City Parks, this year's players, and the JC Club for making the 3rd Annual JCO a huge success!
