Crowders Mountain State Park, April 18th

Thank you to everyone who came out to Crowders Mountain State Park for our Score-O, picnic and Annual Meeting! The park was in full bloom and absolutely stunning under clear skies and warm temperatures. The warmer temperatures did not deter the competitors from giving their all on the course! Walter S., Tyler T. and David A. all battled it out for the top 3 Overall spots respectfully earning Gold, Silver and Bronze. Medals were given out in Intermediate and Beginner Divisions, as well, with Tom L., Al B., Matt G. and the Nielsen family taking top honors. Food and laughs were shared and plans for next season are already underway!

The Annual Meeting voting was led by James Sisk to confirm our officer slate for next season, and we also confirmed that prices will remain the same for maps and memberships next season.

Thank you to all the club members who supported me in this endeavor to hold this Score-O! Being a new meet director, I had no idea what was in store for me! For anyone thinking of course setting or becoming a meet director… just know you will have unlimited support and encouragement. From Kris D. and Nealie S. helping develop the map, Nealie S. And David A. Course setting, Jess G. Setting up a new registration system, Dan D. Coordinating volunteers, Walter S. For developing a scoring system, answering tons of emails, and just being Walter, and Jess, Anita, Walter, Dan, David and James for signage, control pickup and overall support! My husband, Scott, for keeping score and my children Eric and Eliza for helping with the picnic. Last but not least, I especially want to thank Jennifer D. For not only taking on the role of club President and everything that entails, but also for keeping us all on task, and for navigating the challenging moments in stride all season!

It’s been a great season! Many thanks to everyone who made it such a success! We are always looking for new volunteers and we are needing folks who are interested in course designing/setting to come forward if you are interested.

Thank you again and have a wonderful summer!
