Natchitoches 4-Ball event at Northwestern Hills has successful debut
The Natchitoches Golf Association, headquartered at Northwestern Hills Golf Course on the La. 1 bypass, hosted 96 players in its inaugural Natchitoches 4-Ball tournament last weekend.
The rainy weather Sunday afternoon forced an early end to competition in five nine-hole rounds in each of the six-team flights. The final round was shortened to five holes. The weather also washed out the end-of-tournament par-3 shootout to identify the overall team champion, but winners and runner-ups in all eight flights were identified with prize money awarded ($1,200 to the first place teams, $700 to the second-place finishers).
