DC Stipp Golf Tournament
Something Like Golf
The DC Stipp 10th Annual Golf Tournament was a great success. The tournament was held May 2nd at Grand Oaks Golf Club in Grand Prairie after being held for several years at Twin Wells. The switch to the tree-lined course brought out a full field for the first time in several years. The participants were greeted with great weather and a full day of something that included golf clubs, golf clothes, and lots of golf language but not much real golf. This was highlighted by free drinks at what seemed like every other hole.
Many thanks to Olmsted Kirk, Sanderson Hawkins, David Carter and Rovillo Reitmayer for providing the tasty mojitos and on-course margaritas. I’m pretty sure we all managed to forget a few strokes due to your hospitality at the Oasis holes. Apparently the guys at the Graphics Group are spending a great deal of time putting in the halls at the shop as they won the tournament easily, so congratulations to them.
The real winners, though, are the students who will be getting a good portion of the more than $8,000 raised at the tournament. We have a great group of sustaining members and club members who make this event a fun day and a great success every year. The golf committee would like to thank the Stipp family for coming out and participating every year and allowing us to have DC as the icon for the tournament. This year was a great success, and we look to build on it and have an even better tournament in 2009. We’d like to extend a special thanks that Ray Radcliff was kind enough to sponsor the post-tournament Margaritas for the 3rd year in a row. Cheers and thanks, Ray!
