Winning the third annual Lindsay Pettus Greenway golf tournament on Thursday at the Lancaster Golf Club came down to luck both on and off the course for Lynn Rushing, Tim Beckham, Scott Caskey and Bruce Barrett.
The foursome shot a 17-under 55, but so did the team of Willie Beaty, Bobby Harris, Bob Welch and Tom McCleoud.
Tournament officials then went back to 10-holes of scorecard handicaps to award the win to Rushing’s team, with the Beaty team finishing second. There were 14 teams in the field.

Some college scholarships recognize good grades, but others, like those awarded by the nonprofit Lancaster County Good Samaritan Scholarship Foundation, reward students for good deeds, too.
“It’s not always about test scores, but good quality young people who are making a difference in the lives of others. They’re busy volunteering in our communities,” said retired educator Debra Gardner, who also serves as foundation president.

EUFALA, Ala. – The Lancaster County Dixie Softball Darlings (8U) all-stars competed, but fell short over the weekend in World Series play.
The local Darlings, representing South Carolina as state champions, were eliminated Sunday night at Old Creektown Complex in a 12-9 loss to Appomattox, Va.
“It really came down to which team got base hits at the right time. We had our opportunities, but just couldn’t capitalize,” said Darlings coach Dillon Hydrick.

A productive short game proved to be pivotal for the winning team Friday afternoon in the13th annual Women’s Enrichment Center golf tournament at the Lancaster Golf Club.
The winning foursome – Andy Caudill, Miller Deaton, Mac Moody and Mark Harris – converted key putts to card a 16-under 56 to top the 13-team field.
“We made our share of long putts,” said Caudill, as he finished up lunch provided by 521 BBQ at the awards ceremony in the LGC clubhouse.
