From the look of the photothreatening skies early in the morning, along with the heavy rainfall the night before, this year's Special Olympics State Golf Tournament appeared to be headed for a cancellation. However, luck was on the side of all the Special Olympians who gathered from all over the state of Tennessee at the Smyrna Golf Course this past Monday, September 21st. Surprisingly, most of the day was rain free and mostly everyone escaped getting wet. The golf course was in great shape and all of us fully enjoyed the day. This year, Area 16 was proudly represented by the following L.E.A.R.N. (Life Enrichment And Recreation Network) Golf Team members; Josh Lathrop, Shawn Byington, Eric Davis, in Level I Skills Competition. In Level II Partner Play, the team of Christopher Lacy and Roy Lacy. We also had two partners/volunteers who participated in Level I, Ivy Bell and Jeniffer Smith. This is our second year of competition and the progress made by all participants has been quite apparent as their scores have improved over the previous year. Next year, we hope to build on this year's successes as we get more and more players and partners involved in our program. Next year we will have two new partners and trainers, Jay Camperlino and Rowan Millar who are excellent golfers. Once again Special Olympics put together an outstanding Tournament. A special thanks goes to Hal Loflin from Smyrna Golf Course and the City of Smyrna for their support of Special Olympics Golf, our Coaches, Tricia Lacy, Dave Davis and all the parents who supported our program and a very special thanks goes to Lou Paschal and John Harris for their support and service to Area 16 Special Olympics.

Golf Team Play at Special Olympics Middle Tennessee Golf Tournament

 

Our golf team finally kicked things off on July 1st at Stoneybrook Golf Course in Columbia after rain postponed our first tournament back in June.

Jennifer Smith, on her very first Tournament, scored a 58. She is working on qualifying to be Josh Lathrops partner in future events and just missed doing so by 2 points.  Josh had a score of 65, beating his last years score in Level I competition.  Eric Davis also improved his score, in Level I play, from last year with his 51. Roy Lacy partnered with his son Christopher, on a 9 hole alternate stroke play and scored a 65 in Level II play. We saw many friends from last year including Clint Blalock and his dad Eddie. They had practiced with our team the week before the tournament at Smyrna. Other team members not present include Keith Ivey and his dad J.R., Steve Marshall and his son Ryan. It was great to get back on the golf course and spend time with all our friends from last year. Our next Tournament will be at the Bear Trace Harrison Bay Golf Course in Chattanooga on August
