The Jackson Parish Chamber of Commerce held its annual Two-Man Scramble tournament on Saturday, June 7th, which saw 34 teams vie for victory over the 18-hole Jackson Parish Golf Club course.

Chalk one up for the “Old School” – A pair of JPGC “veterans” in Rex Johnson and Leigh Cathey won first prize in the championship flight by taking a scorecard playoff victory over “young guns” Eli Walker and Jensen Melancon after both teams fired a round of 60, which was equivalent to 12-under par. Reeves Pullin and Jacek Karsheski came in third in another scorecard playoff with Peyton Mithcell and Brad Porter.

The team of Farque and Broussard won the first flight over two others in a scorecard playoff after all three shot rounds of 66 with Jimmy Robinson and Ken Martin coming in second and Shane Rollins and Jack Lyles settling for third place.

Three teams shot a 72 in the second flight with Dan Reeves and Tommy Thorpe being declared the scorecard playoff winner over Ben and Bill DeCou and Ray Walsworth and Wayne Hay. 

Championship, first and second flight winners brought home $800.00 per team, with second place finishers earning $480.00 per team and third place netting $250.00 per team. Additional prize winners were Bill Decou – Putting Contest, and both Eli Walker and Joshiah Freeman, who won the two closest to the hole prizes. 

We would like to give thanks to all the players and hole sponsors for helping make this a great event.  Special mention goes to Glen Kirkland, Randy Layfield, Tommy Cruse, Sheriff Andy Brown, Brent Barnett, Donovan Schultz, Jimmy Walker, Cheryl Holder, Carla Smith, Sandra Plunkett, Vernie Meeks, Barbara Johnson and Scrap Iron Barbecue for their efforts. – Jackson Parish Chamber of Commerce Director Wilda Smith
