Over $7000.00 was raised to support such a worthy charity and to honor the memory of our beloved friend Justin Curren. Early rain did not dampen the spirit of the tournament and at start time, the weather cooperated with cooler temperatures and overcast skies. Excitement was in the air! The course was in beautiful form and with 64 players (16 teams), the atmosphere was that of fun and friendly competition. Water holes were everywhere but that didn t stop the courageous! After the tournament, a delicious lunch of brisket and sausage with all the trimmings provided by Dona Curren and Andrew Curren was enjoyed by participants, volunteers, sponsors and special guests. Desserts were provided by the Women s Golf Association. That brisket! Oh. My. Goodness. So amazing! By Melanie Cook Second Place Team Al Rincon, Rhonda Hubrenik- Martinez and Jeff Young In early January, 2017, the idea of the tournament was taking form and by March the idea was a reality! In three short months, the tournament was played! Thank you to the Curren Family, Waterwood Men s Golf Association, HAPS and those that worked tirelessly to get the golf course in such great shape. Also, thank you to the volunteers, those that sponsored a hole, all participants in the tournament, those that donated door prizes, served on committees, provided golf carts and provided -Page 4
