Golf, MS Delta Style

The MS Delta Ducks team took a well-deserved break from the office and hit the links in the Leflore Country Club Member/Guest Golf Tournament. Martin came down from Oxford to join me for the two-man tournament and Cris recruited a good friend and fellow outdoorsman, Hunter, to compete with him. Fortunately, the tournament directors grouped our two teams together along with one other team.

Beginning early Saturday morning, we set out in our Ole Miss game day polos and Titleist visors to enjoy a full day on the course. The tournament was a one-day, 27-hole competition consisting of 9 holes of “four-ball,” 9 holes of “alternating shot,” and 9 holes of “scramble” golf.

Martin and I started out pretty rusty on the first two holes but quickly gained our composure and put up a decent score for the day. Cris and Hunter did their thing as well. Cris ended the day with a new nickname - “Boomerang,” for his vicious slice. If the “flighting” had not been so weird, we might have even been in contention for some money. We may not have won the tournament, but we definitely took home the self-determined “Best Looking Team” of the tournament.

All of us at MS Delta Ducks are competitors. That is probably one of the reasons we love to put up big numbers in the duck blind or turkey woods. While we have to take time off from hunting seasons, golf is one of the hobbies that we enjoy most. It provides a great way for us to enjoy good company and to compete at the same time.

We enjoyed a beautiful day on the course and ended the weekend in a way that we at MS Delta Ducks have very high value for. The girls, Meghan, Mary Kathryn, and ‘Momma’ joined us for a great Sunday morning service and family lunch. Whether it is duck season or golf tournament time, we always take the time to thank our Heavenly Father for His provision, His blessings, and the people that He has placed in our lives. Oh, and by the way, Meghan was a big hit with the Greenwood family. It's now Facebook official.
