Golf Tournaments do not happen by waving a magic wand, especially good golf tournaments. I should know!

There is always someone behind the organizing who surrounds himself/herself with people who will do what needs to be done to make the event happen: set a date, set the format, advertise, call players, make reservations, contact sponsors, in the case of most courses, do you have enough carts?, contact your golf professional, make pairings, set the rules, print scorecards, do a scoreboard, contact your food manager and organize lunches and dinners, what prizes will you give, contact your golf course superintendent for course set-up, and finally, make the pairings WHICH IS THE EASY PART!

Each one of these is a job in itself and you need to surround yourself with people who know what you have in mind and if possible, DO NOT GET TOO MANY PEOPLE, which Lisa Nagle, the tournament chairman did: husband Ricky, Corbin Dyson, and of course Derek Hahn (PGA Pro), Matt Coleman (Superintendent), Lyndsay Broadbent (Club Manager) all of whom did everything above and more. It was all taken care of in the most efficient way.

So, if you did play in the tournament, I believe you didn't have any complaints (maybe your swing.. ouch) AND IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF LISA's ATTENTION TO DETAILS.

So, instead of saying congratulations to her for a job well done, we should say: THANK YOU, WE HAD A GREAT TIME!
