An Ace of a Tournament
A record number of participants hit the links April 23 for the annual PBPA Green Tree Golf Tournament, as 336 entrants vied for a variety of exciting prizes.
Supreme among those was a prize that probably no one expected would be won that day—the offer of a brand new F-150 Ford pickup from Rogers Ford for anyone who might shoot a hole-in-one.
But this was a day for the ages. And so Scott Parkinson caught a tee shot just right and he and the rest of his foursome saw it drop into the cup.
How many people get a hole-in-one anytime during their golfing careers? But to score an ace at a time like that—surely that is magical.
Severo Enriquez of Rogers Ford said he had been around the event for nine years and had never seen the prize be taken.
PBPA welcomed a outstanding array of sponsors to the tournament, surpassing anything the tournament had seen in previous years.
