 The Annual County Tournament is one of the longest standing golf tournaments in our area. This much-anticipated tournament is always full of tradition and excitement. Once a year all levels of amateur golfers come out to the County Golf Course and attempt to mark their name in county history....from Jerry Snable (11 time champion) to recent high school graduates, to your once a week league golfer, everyone wants his shot at winning 'The County'! Once again we had a full field of golfers.
