Sam McCallister shot a cool 65 one over par in the second day to top his 70 on Saturday to take the lead in the Super Seniors going into Monday for the Super Seniors with Larry Patterson close behind with a 126 and Dan Young third with a 128. Absent from the field this year is perennial winner Ralph Williams who is recuperating from eye surgery. So Sam finally had some time for his day in the sun.

Roger Clement who shot par on Saturday and Sunday is tied for first with Stan Lee in the Senior Division. Lee Shot a wonderful 62 on Saturday, then tripped up with a 66 on Sunday.

Todd Martin is comfortably in the lead in the Mid-Senior Division after a great 62 on Saturday and then a one over par 65 on Sunday.
The Second Day of the War Memorial Fourth of July Tournament brought another humid day, but with wind. Rain cooled off the Course after blistering heat the day before. Past champions jockeyed for position for an exciting finish to the second round of the championship tournment which to say the least was anticlimactic for those watching only because there was one more day and anything can happen especially at War Memorial Golf Course. Joey Nichols, a tax lawyer with the Friday Law Firm from Little Rock, edged out Alex Carpenter, last years champion for the second day of the tournament. But Carpenter was just 1 stroke behind with a 124 for 36 holes. Tied for third were Neil Phelps and Lyle Middleton with a 36 hole total of 125. Not to be outdone, Lane Hulse and Michael Satterwhite tied for fourth place with a 36 hole total of 126.

Its going to be a dazzling finale tomorrow, even if it doesn't rain. The writer wishes to thank Bob Baker for providing todays scores in time for this publication.

June 4, 2010 Progress On the 13th and 14th Greens and Invitation To 4th Of July Tournament

The Greens are coming along and there are now sprinkler heads squirting the greens with beautiful arcs of water showing just how big the greens are. Its the Second Week. We've gotten an invite from the club for the Annual 4th of July Tournament which we'll be able to play even though the greens won't be quite ready for prime time.

Here are some shots of the 13th and 14th Greens this week ending June 4, 2010.



Here is an invitation to join the 4th of July Tournament

Hello WMGC Tournament Players:

The 2010 Fourth of July Tournament will be held July 3-5 at War Memorial Park Golf Course in Little Rock. As you may know, War Memorial has undergone exciting new changes this year with the construction of two new holes. Hole thirteen has been changed to a medium-to-long par three across Coleman Creek. The new fourteenth hole is a dramatic, medium-length, downhill par three which plays to a peninsula green. Both holes will challenge the expert golfer, yet be playable by golfers of all skill levels. The greens are larger than most other greens at the Park and are nicely contoured. The tifdwarf bermuda sprigs are in their second week of growth and are showing good signs of green-up. They will not reach full maturity by the Fourth of July Championship, but we do expect them to be playable for the Fourth of July. The holes that were 14, 15 and 16 will be renumbered to become holes 15, 16 and 17.

We appreciate your support of War Memorial Park Golf Course and hope you will make plans to play in this year's Championship!

Bastille Day July 14, 2009 Tournament

Wayne Waggoner as promised serenaded the contestants with his rendition of La Marseillaise to start the Bastille Day Tournament. Four golfers marched through the War Memorial Golf Course catapulting their shots upto the embankments and onto the greens. In the spirit of the day, tournament chair Ralph Williams lead the players through the rules requiring contestants to tee off on alternating tees of blue, white and red throughout the tournament. It wasn't easy-and no, noone won the penultmate prize of a trip for 2 to Paris (Arkansas that is by bus) with a hole in one on the 17th. Excitement and thrills from the crowds came on the 8th hole when James Thomson holed out with a pitch shot above the hole about 30 feet that hit the flag stick and then dropped into the hole. Colin Osment, a rising star finally got his game on the back nine-must of waked up by then, with a 36. Tournament players were treated to application of their handicaps to obtain blistering net scores for Thomson a 57 and Waggoner a 67.
