Local Players Fall Short In Two Chattanooga Classic Qualifiers

Monday, October 13, 2008 - by special report to The Chattanoogan

It wasn't a good day for Chattanooga-area golfers Monday in the two qualifiers for the annual Chattanooga Classic this weekend at the Black Creek Club.

In two qualifiers at the Cleveland Golf and Country Club and the Bear Trace Course at Harrison Bay, no Chattanooga players were among the seven qualifiers at each site.

Heath Jones, who played at North Sand Mountain High School, did qualify on Monday at Cleveland. Jones, from Flat Rock, Ala., shot a 5-under 66.

The annual Nationwide event this weekend at Black Creek, however, will still have a lot of Chattanooga players.

Area golfers already in the field include Gibby Gilbert III of the Nationwide Tour, Jonathan Hodge of UT-Chattanooga, 2000 PGA Rookie-of-the-Year Michael Clark from Calton, and Adam Mitchell, the Chattanooga native who currently plays for the University of Georgia.

Thank You, Judge Mattice And Chattanooga

I would like to thank Judge Mattice for handing down a 30.5 year sentence for Kathleen Mathews.  Obviously, no amount of jail time, fines, or lashings can bring back Tim Chapin.   A 30-year sentence will, however, make the world just a little safer.  That's what Sgt. Chapin would have wanted.  He was a protector and sacrificed his life so the rest of ... (click for more)
