The biggest tournament in our community is officially underway! ⛳️
The HVL Men’s Golf Club Member-Guest Tournament has completely sold out with a full field of 144 players and even a waitlist — a true reflection of how special this event has become year after year.
Play began this morning, with a very special memorial tribute at 8:30am on the 1st tee honoring Dick Scott, a beloved member of our community and a huge influence on HVL golf. Before tee off, players and attendees joined together for a moment of silence in his honor. Last year, Dick served as the tournament’s honorary starter. Many also remember his incredible hole-in-one on the infamous Hole 15 cliff shot back in 1997 — still the only one ever recorded there.
This year, Dick’s granddaughter, Tiffany Pickens, served as our honorary starter alongside her mom Teresa Sands.
Tournament play continues all day today and Saturday followed by the Awards Dinner tomorrow night at 5:30pm.
A huge thank you to our sponsors, as well as the incredible volunteers who make this event possible each year. Men’s Club President David Thurber gave a huge shout out and thank you to everyone involved for helping make this tournament such a success (which sold out back in March!)
Special thanks as well to Richard Pritchard, Director of Golf, and his entire team, along with Billy Witt, Director of Golf Maintenance, and his crew for all of their hard work behind the scenes.
Richard shared that after 14 years as the Golf Director, the event continues to grow bigger every year— bringing together both familiar faces and new ones for an unforgettable weekend of golf and community.
Good luck to all the players this weekend!
