Congrats to Ted Fort and his partner Steve Ridge on their recent T-1 in the Georgia PGA Club Car Pro-Pro Scramble. Aided by Ted's eagle 3 on the par 5 tenth hole, the team was Ten-under-par for the round. Unfortunately for the good guys, they ultimately finished second, losing on the eighth hole of a sudden death playoff. As we say down south, they were "hard dogs to get off the porch".
Proud of you, Ted!
One stroke behind the leaders were two other professionals well known to LBGers: Jeff Hull and Chris Asbell. Great playing, guys!
