The number 13 proved lucky for Bridgit Bennett, Wednesday morning.
Playing in the 13th Annual Ladies Golf Tournament, Bennett scored the first hole-in-one in tourney history on the par-3 16th hole at Swan Lake Golf Course. As a result, her Gallatin-area team of Ann Slice, Mary Lou Lassiter and Judy Arnold were able to win first place with a 66 in the second flight of the four-person scramble, sponsored by Austin Peay State University to help promote awareness of women’s sports in the Clarksville area.
The first flight champion with a 63, was the team of Austin Peay coach Sara Robson; Donna Burkhead, Robson’s grandmother; Lisa Bremer and her mother, Kay Rottman. Bremer, of Metropolis, IL, taught Robson how to play golf while growing up in Southern Illinois.
The teams of Margaret Jones/Beth Goodowens/Molly Perry/Nancy Howell and Andrea Gobel/Jeanette Kramer/Britney Campbell/Amanda Phillips also shot 63 but lost in a scorecard playoff to finish second and third, respectively.
In the second flight, the team of Carole Overton/Jamie Walker/Terri Grubbs/Peggy Golightly finished second with a 66, while the team of Betty Stanton/Jackie Jones/June Nicholson/Mary Lou McReynolds was third with a 67.
Carla Hazewlood won the long drive contest on Hole 6 while Son Swanson was the long drive winner on Hole 14.
Cinda Hatton won the closest to the hole on Hole 13 while former Lady Gov Amanda Phillips earned that distinction on Hole 10.
A total of 64 players–16 teams–participated.
