ASGA Monk Wade Father & Son Championship

Another ASGA Monk Wade Father & Son Championship has come and gone and what a great championship it was. Clark and Gus Fitts are the 2009 Champions shooting a two day total of 131. They shot 64 and Pleasant Valley on Monday and a 67 Tuesday at Maumelle CC. Congratulations Champions.
We are not sure yet where the 2010 Championship will be held but will let you know as soon as that is determined.
Congratulations to all the flight winners in both the gross and net divisions. Great playing and I am sure bonding with each others was the most fun. Look forward to seeing everyone again in 2010 if not before. Hit it down the middle

Round One of the ASGA Monk Wade Father & Son Championship Complete

Round one of the 2009 ASGA Monk Wade Father & Son Championship is in the books. After a delayed start caused by an accident on I430 where a trailer truck hauling a load of pigs over turned and caused as much as 2 1/2 hours of sitting in traffic. Some teams were delayed 2 1 /2 hours getting started. Along with the HOTTEST day of the year and only a couple of heat related wd's the first round is in the books. With 200 teams, that's 400 golfers folks, competing for the overall championship and for their flights, Clark and Gus Fitts are in the lead with a blistering round of 64 shot at Pleasant Valley CC. The Fitts will play Maumelle in the second round. Good luck to everyone!

2009 ASGA Monk Wade Father & Son Championship

On June 22 & 23, 2009 the ASGA's largest sponsored golf tournament will be held at Pleasant Valley Country Club, Little Rock & Maumelle Country Club, Maumelle with some 400 golfers teeing it up. The event is more than a golf tournament in that it is a time for Fathers & Sons, & Father-In-Laws & Son-In-Laws to do some bonding(that means spending some quality time together) for a couple or maybe 3 days. It is a very special time because my son Tim and I played it until it got to be more than this ole guy could handle working it and playing it. Believe me it is more than just another golf tournament.
There are players of all ages in the "Monk Wade" starting at age 14 and then we have this one special guy who just turned 90, Mr. Charlie Owens of Morrilton and his son Toppy from Mt. View, who plays in it every year. Charlie and I go back a long way in fact I first met Charile in 1969 as I rented a building from him in Morrilton back when I was in the "Rag Business", but that's another story. Charlie, "Wheel" as I know him, has signed up and we look forward to seeing him again in 2009 as we do all 400 players. So Father & Son Golfers welcome to the Little Rock area and we hope you enjoy the 2009 ASGA Monk Wade Father & Son.
