The Dogfight Association at Tryon Country Club (TCC) kicked off its 2012 season with a bang on Saturday, March 3. The format was a four-player point quota in the cool and windy conditions. John Albee got off to a great start with his third hole-in-one on hole number 9. That ace propelled him to the individual title for the day with a plus 8 finish. The team event was won by Brian Jones, Steve Walker, Jeff Raines and Russ Walker.
The four closest-to-the-hole winners were Vernon Dusenbury (hole no. 5), John Albree (hole no. 9), Ron Bircher (hole no. 14) and Steve Walker (hole no. 18).
The Tryon Men’s Golf Association starts its season Monday, March 12 with a breakfast and a nine-hole four player scramble event. Members should call the pro shop to register.
