____________Fact or Fiction?___________
Was the County Tournament always held at same location?
Fiction: The Bay County Golf Course opened its doors in 1966. The first County Tournament at this location was 1968 with Jerry Snable as champion Before that the event was held at the old Euclid course.
Just a little bit of history!
