 A NOTE FROM CHAMP!

First Annual Surf & Turf

Wedgefield Country Club

July 29^th, 2023

I'd like to thank those who showed up for 1^st Annual Surf & Turf event at Wedgefield Country Club. Greatly appreciated the participation and hope everybody enjoyed themselves. We had 9 participants this time around and a little over 25lbs of fish caught. We’d like to make this an annual event and are very receptive to feedback as to the time (s) of the year and/or day we should hold this event that is conducive to reeling in the fish.

After 9 holes of Captain Choice, the team of Will Marlowe, Patrik Walsh and John Grey laid down the gauntlet of 8 under par to take a commanding 4 stroke lead over the team of Butch Williams, Wes Cribb and Cory Elliott with Bill, Louis and Will Hemingway bringing up the rear at 1 under. As the teams paused, turned in score cards, switched from golf clubs to fishing gear and grabbed a bite to eat, all bets were off as to who would come out victorious. 

Butch Williams put on a clinic on how to land the big one, (See Photo), just off the tee box of #15. Like other areas in life, sometimes size doesn’t matter. Although Butch was packing the largest specimen, the team of Will Marlowe, Patrick Walsh and John Grey continued their dominance into the fishing side with a steady rhythm of smaller yet satisfying number of fish being landed to overcome the length and girth displayed by Butch. Don’t let anybody tell you different, it’s still something to Be Proud of Mr. Williams! A very unfortunate incident happened about 30 minutes into the fishing portion when Mr. Bill Hemingway went to take a fish off the hook and caught a barb into his index finger, taking him out of the competition and heading to the Emergency Room. Just got off the phone with him and everything is all good. He’ll live to fight another day.

Again, the staff and ownership would like to thank those who participated in this event, and we look forward to many more exciting evenings and opportunities to enjoy each other’s company and friendship.
