It was a great day this past Saturday at the Jackson Parish Golf Course as a large contingent gathered to take part in the Smurfit Westrock Taylor & Ballew Memorial Golf Tournament.

Congratulations goes to Eli Walker, Tayt Culpepper, and Pete Simonelli who shot a round of 18-under par to win the tournament title. Proceeds from the tourney went to various charity groups, including Jackson Parish Backpack Meal Program, United Way, Habitat for Humanity, Hodge Strong, and Smurfit WestRock Employee Relief Fund.

Special thanks go to all the vendors who supported the tournament, members of the Jackson Parish Chamber of Commerce, and especially to Robbie Reihn, Sarah Hastings, Roby Surber, and Rick Whiddon, who braved the rain and went above and beyond to make the tournament great.
