This-Hurricane-Ain’t-Gonna-Stop-Us Golf Outing In golf and life, it’s how you react to the rain, not the rain itself

H urricane Matthew dropped only three inches of rain on Rowan

County, but golfers have run for cover with even less. But not

at Warrior Golf Club in China Grove on October 7. For the 10th

Annual Trinity Oaks Golf Tournament, all teams but one played the

entire 18 holes in the rain. And you know what? It was fun!

“Brian Lee at Warrior Golf Club told the teams that this was a golf

outing, not a tournament,” said Trinity Oaks Sales and Marketing

Director Ann Pressly. “At an outing, golfers help raise money for a good

cause, not to win prize money for themselves. His encouraging words

made all the difference. We all looked at the weather, golf and what we

were doing with a new level of fun and excitement.”

Golfers felt better about the rain after Brian Lee’s pep talk, but they also

kept score. Winners with a score of 51 were the foursome of Jeff Pressly,

Shane Sexton, Eric Burris and Billy Parker.

Golfers ranged in age from 5 to 86. And the 5-year old, Camden

Honeycutt, had one of the prettiest swings of golfers ten times his age.

Total proceeds were $10,900. Thanks to all our sponsors, golfers, and

friends who made the 2016 outing successful and fun.
