STORY + PHOTOGRAPHY BY TONY CENTONZE The Christian County Chamber of Commerce recently held its annual Brag N' Rights Golf Classic at Hopkinsville Golf & Country Club. “This is Christian County Chamber's annual Golf Classic,” Director of Events & Marketing, Kirstie Darnall said. “Brag N' Rights is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. Money raised this week will help support all our efforts at the chamber, whether it be military affairs, membership, or our advocacy efforts.” 45 four-man teams were signed up for this year's tournament. 20 were scheduled to play on Tuesday, 25 were scheduled for Wednesday. Thanks to a number of generous sponsors, teams, while raising money, were also competing for some great prizes. “Players have five opportunities to win $10,000,” Darnall said. “If a player gets a holein-one on any of those par-3 holes, they win. Other great prizes include a membership to Hopkinsville Golf & Country Club, and a 2-man 30-bird hunt from Winghaven Lodge. “We're also doing a golf ball drop, where players can buy one or more golf balls. We are going to put them in a bucket, drop them from 35 feet, and closest to the target gets to split the pot. The other half of the money is being donated to fallen Hopkinsville Police Officer Phillip Meacham's family, part of a scholarship fund for his daughter.” 44 • VIP Clarksville Magazine | Summer 2018
