NATIONAL GOLF MONTH - AUGUST
NATIONAL GOLF MONTH | AUGUST
August annually celebrates the sport of golf, bringing together enthusiasts and newcomers to appreciate the rich history, camaraderie, and skillful play that defines this timeless game.
Golf is more than just a sport—it's a way of life. From the moment the first tee shot is struck, a golfer enters a world of picturesque landscapes, challenging fairways, and the pursuit of perfection. National Golf Month pays homage to this elegant and enduring pastime, inviting individuals of all ages and skill levels to experience the beauty and excitement of golf.
During National Golf Month, golf courses open their doors and fairways to welcome players of all abilities. Golf enthusiasts can participate in various events, including tournaments, clinics, and charity fundraisers. These activities showcase the skills of experienced players and introduce newcomers to the joys of golf and its many benefits.

We had a wild Stableford Championship; Amateur Ryan Bilby and TSPGA Professional Michael Gervais pounded birdies and eagles and swung it out in a two-hole playoff after Gervais drained an eagle bomb on 18 to send it to extra holes.
Congratulations to Ryan "Big Shot Bilbs" Bilby from Follansbee, West Virginia, Marshall University, and Vietmeier Golf Center.

What an excellent clutch performance and showing by Michael Gervais. He played his game and wowed the crowd on 18. He also displayed incredible sportsmanship, as did Ryan Bilby on the playoff holes; both were loose and enjoying the competition.
Congratulations to Michael Gervais, PGA from Bridgeport, West Virginia, and Bridgeport Country Club.
