Before I dive into the results of two major tournaments from last week, I must bring to the forefront a popular tournament mainstay called The Choker, which will be played on Saturday at the Dalton Ranch Golf Club.
This event gets the creative juices flowing the evening prior to the event, as the Calcutta will be held Friday night at 6:30 on the patio at the Dalton Ranch Golf Clubhouse.
With all the teams set for Saturday’s play, which team will emerge out of the Calcutta as the odds-on favorite?
No pressure there.
I will have results of this annual tournament for you next week.
