Tee It Up

It was a beautiful day for our first Operation 36 9-hole event! As normal, the course is playing tough this time of year, but there were some really good scores. Congratulations to Jack Vance and Tristan McWhinney for advancing to their new yardage! Love seeing our juniors get better every day. What a great weekend for golf! The weather was perfect each day, and the course was in spectacular shape as well. Through 8 holes it was a tightly contested match between Cyrus Stewart and Rand Williams. An eagle on hole 9 from Cyrus is what he needed to get it going on the back nine. In the end, Cyrus Stewart defended his title and is the first to win four consecutive championships at Raleigh Country Club! Thanks to all who played this weekend and congratulations to all the Flight winners.

A fun and exciting Beatles themed Peartree Classic was cut short due to Hurricane Ian. Despite the weather, Billy Cole and his team did a fantastic job with the course setup. The shootout was played from 125 yards on hole 9 with a huge crowd cheering everyone on. After the elimination of nine teams, it came down to Stephen Brown and Justin Willard versus Dr. Bob Wayland and Bryan Mohorn. Dr. Wayland hit a phenomenal shot and his partner Bryan made the putt! Congratulations to Dr. Bob Wayland and Bryan Mohorn for winning the 2022 Peartree Classic! Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in this year’s event. We are looking forward to next year’s event!

Congratulations to all of the Flight Winners!
