A foursome of Clay Davis, Warren Davis, Jim Lamb and Fred Rumor took first place at the Ringgold Masonic Lodge #90 Charity Golf Tournament on June 23. In second place — one stroke off the lead — was the foursome of Steven Martin, Jonathan McGavin, B.J. Oliver and Mike Newnan.

Steve Blankenship took long drive honors while Martin got Closet to the Pin.

The golf tournament is an annual charity affair organized by Lodge members to raise money for Masonic Charities. Thanks go out to the many Griffin area businesses that help sponsor and make the tournament a success every year.
