A sad day for east Tennessee golf. But it also sounds like another opportunity for some.
Several GCAers were (are) members and will leave it at that. In better days (for everyone) Holston Hills CC used to have a home and home match against Ridgefields CC. Before advent of omnipresent cell phones, etc., it was a nice bus ride playing 'liars poker' on the way up, then the match, followed by lunch, and then sipping from the keg and playing 'liars poker' on the way back.
Always enjoyed the golf at Ridgefields and hope to again some day.
Best wishes to all in tri cities area.
