CROSSVILLE, TN., August 31, 2023.

The funds will support the charities’ ongoing local projects and programs. The ladies agreed that the funds will make a real difference to the children of Cumberland County.

Top winners were Sharon Kelly (Knoxville) Overall Low Gross Flights 1-3; Marty Wennermark (Fairfield Glade) Overall Low Gross Flights 4-6; Sandie Ballie (Fairfield Glade) Overall Low Net Flights 1-3; and Lauri Speckmann (Fairfield Glade) Overall Low Net Flights 4-6. $6,000 in prizes were paid across six flights plus ten special prizes were awarded, including two diamond rings generously provided by our long-time supporter Jerry Phillips of JP Jewelry.
