Pictured here are (left to right) Dennis Barnes, Morgan Barnes and Cherokee National Club Pro Danny Agapion. Dennis and Morgan won the 9-And-Under Parent-Child Tournament.

Cherokee National's Parent-Child event played on Father's Day weekend was a huge success with 85 players and 45 teams.
A few parents were busy playing on two teams and Johnny Leazer played on three teams.
This year's format was an 18-hole modified-modified Alternate Shot (no handicap). Many teams were a little skeptical of the format, but once they played and got in the rhythm, everyone seemed to enjoy the new format. Both players hit tee shots then each player hit their partner's ball for the second shot, then the team elected the ball to continue to alternate until the ball was holed out for a team score on each hole.

Parent-Child Tournament Results

On June 14, the annual parent-child tournament at Cherokee National was played. This year's format was a modified alternate shot with no handicap (gross) with the kids playing different tees depending on their age. The tournament is very popular among the members and this year was no different with 40 teams participating. The child's age determined the age group.

GALLMAN WINS COUNTY AMATEUR TO CAPTURE
HIS 4^TH TOURNAMENT OF YEAR

ROGERS WINS SENIOR DIVISION

The Cherokee County Amateur was played on Saturday, May 17, at Gaffney Country Club and Sunday, May 18, at Cherokee National Golf Club. Dennis Barnes Jr. took over duties as chairman after founder of the tournament, Dr. Bruce Mikota, stepped down last year. Dennis did an outstanding job raising some additional sponsor money and organizing the event with Gaffney Country Club Professional Chris Wood and Cherokee National Club Professional Danny Agapion.

The tournament attracted 75 players from Cherokee County, the largest field ever. Both golf courses were in excellent shape, while at the “Country Club,” many players struggled with the small undulating greens and tough pin placements. At Cherokee National, many players commented on how the length of the course and quick greens challenged them.

In the Senior Division (55 & over) Kenny Rogers shot an impressive 74 on Sunday to hold off short game wizard Bobby Ellis by two shots in the Sr. Championship “A” Flight. Dr. Bill Wheeler also played very well on Sunday to win the Senior Championship “B” Flight by 5 shots over Dennis Barnes, Sr.

In the Championship “B” Flight, Limestone Golfer from Chesnee, Kyle Scruggs, held off Cherokee National Club Champion Dalon Queen and Jason Blanton.

In the Championship “A” Flight, USC Upstate Spartans #1 man from Gaffney got off to a hot start on Sunday, starting his round eagle, birdie, birdie to build a 4-shot lead over his former teammate at Gaffney High who is this year’s SC High School State Runner-Up, Matthew Hopper.

However, at the turn, Matthew pulled to within 3 shots, but Josh played the tough back nine at Cherokee National 2 under to win by 6 to receive the Milan Gettys Crystal trophy.

Josh had an excellent fall season at USC Upstate, winning two tournaments, then two more this past spring season and recently he and one of his teammates won the CGA Four Ball at Camden CC. Josh is playing some excellent golf and will be tough to beat in many years to come in the Cherokee County Amateur.

Thanks to our tournament sponsors, who are listed below, Gaffney Country Club, Cherokee National Golf & Recreation Club, the players and all who helped make this event a success.

4TH ANNUAL
HENRY TRANSOU MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT
(Held Saturday, April 26, 2008)

The 4^th Annual Henry Transou Memorial Golf Tournament was a huge success. The last Saturday in April every year we celebrate the life of Henry Transou, PGA Professional.
Henry was the PGA professional for nearly 40 years at Cherokee National Golf & Recreation Club. He was an excellent golf professional who was very well liked by his membership at Cherokee National and fellow PGA professionals.
The tournament has been well supported by the membership and local sponsors since the beginning and has raised nearly $40,000. The proceeds will always go towards club projects. We have already built a new custom scoreboard, purchased a junior trophy listing all past champions since 1963 and designed a special bronze plaque of Henry that hangs proudly on the clubhouse.
The next project will be the construction of a 5,000-square-foot green that our membership will enjoy for their short game practice. The green will be located adjacent to the current practice green.
Thank you members and sponsors.
