Blackthorn At The Ridges
On Monday 7/12/21, the Tri-Cities/Southwest Virginia chapter had our 10th tour stop at Blackthorn At The Ridges in Jonesbourough, TN. A buzz was in the air as players anxiously awaited getting the tournament underway, earning valuable points towards qualifying for the inaugural North American Championship at Pinehurst Resorts in October. A competitive field faced sunny and warm conditions, but a golf course that was in excellent shape.
