The Jourdanton Squaws hosted their annual golf tournament held at Pleasanton Country Club on February 15th. The day didn’t start out very nice, drizzling rain held the tournament up for a while. Starting time was slated for 8:30 a.m. but was detained until 8:50 a.m.

Scores reflected the conditions on the whole but two golfers battled the elements to post fine scores of 88.

Allyson Graybill of Pleasanton and Ale Vela of Lytle tied for top medalist and then had to take it back out to the course for a playoff. The playoff ended on the second hole with Allyson Graybill coming away with the victory. Third place was claimed by Amber Bruce of Karnes City with a score of 100.
