The last of the Nashville Chapter’s fall series was held at the President’s Reserve course at Hermitage Golf Course. Nestled within the historical grounds of The Hermitage, the President’s Reserve course invites golf enthusiasts to step into a world where manicured fairways weave through the picturesque landscape, offering a challenging yet rewarding experience. The weather was pleasant for early November with clear skies and sunshine. Players competed in 5 divisions and two Net competitions for a prize pool totaling just short of $3,000 and optional side games totaling almost $2,000. 

In Division 1, the champion was decided in the final group of the division as Kentucky Chapter member, Michael Crabtree from Nicholasville, KY, makes eagle on the par 5 18^th to leapfrog over 2^nd place finishers, Memphis Chapter member, Ed McDugle from Memphis and fellow Kentucky Chapter member, Tyler Sharpe from Greensburg, KY. Crabtree finished the day with +2 74 while McDugle and Sharpe finished at +3 75. 

In Division 2, Atlanta Chapter member, John Perron from Dallas, GA scores the two-stroke victory over John Bean from Nashville.  Perron finished his round with an inward nine of 37 to finish at +4 76. Bean kept it close with his outward nine of 39, but was not able to keep pace with his bookend 39 on the back for +6 78.  

In Division 3, Will Houston from Brentwood notches his 1^st victory as a Division 3 member with consistent nines of 39 to finish the day at +6 78 and win by two strokes over Alex Richardson from Dickson.
