“This is one of our largest events of the year, with nearly 250 players, and it sells out in a matter of minutes,” said Glade Springs Resort’s Assistant Golf Professional Cole Moore. “It’s fun to see family members playing together. I played in it for nearly a decade, and it’s one of my favorite golf memories.”
The 36-hole Championship featured a sold-out field of 240 players competing on the Glade Springs Resort’s Cobb Course and The Village at Glade Springs Stonehaven Course.
