Culpepper and Culpepper. Most folks in Jackson Parish recognize the pairing of names as a legal firm in Jonesboro. Those who participated in the 2023 Jackson Parish Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament this past Saturday know it now as the winners of the Championship Flight in the annual two-man scramble held at the Jackson Parish Golf Course.
J.J. (who also won in 2020) and Tayt Culpepper took first-place honors in 18 hole event by firing a round of 11-under par (61) to defeat the teams of Peyton Mitchell / Jack Lyles and Rick Hickman / Justin Sharp by one stroke.
Winners of the First Flight were Joey Pender and Eddie Langston, who won on a scorecard playoff over Micky Martin and Justin Morris after both finished with a four-under-par round of 68. Waymon and Shane Laffoon shot a 69 to come in third in a scored card playoff over Ray Walsworth / Joey Pardue, Ritchie Tolar / Greg Foshee, and Marshall Boggs / Mason Paxton.
Matt and Bart Lee took 2nd Flight honors with an even par 72 score which was one better than Tommy Cruise and Glenn Kirkland who took second in a scorecard playoff over Wyndham Lee and Eric Tolar.
Ritchie Stewart took honors in the putting contest while Cam Martin and Paul Trosclair came home with the prize for closest to the hole. Twenty-eight teams participated.
The Jackson Parish Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the following for sponsoring holes and helping make the tournament a great success.
