Ironman 2023

The 35th Edition of the Ironman Golf Championship is in the books. Challenging weather during Friday's rounds didn't stop this extremely competitive field from the task at hand. Finally, on Saturday afternoon, the sun broke through and we experienced typical Jekyll weather for the remainder of the weekend.

 

Courses were in excellent shape, with many veterans expressing their opinions that Oleander was in the best shape ever.

 

Congratulations to our Champion, Bob Hentges. The crystal trophy heads to Dallas this year with a solid four rounds by Bob.

 

Additional congratulations to Chris Shelton, our MOST DESERVED winner of the Big Money Bob award. Check out our photos of the Championship and you will see the result of Chris burning the candle on both ends during the weekend. Lately, Houston seems to be winning more than it's share of BMB awards.

 

Last but not least, congratulations to our Green Jacket winner, Oscar Restrepo. The Green Jacket will reside in Brevard County, FL for the next year. Oscar decided to wait until the final round to win some money and the $1 in prize money he earned also earned him some new stylish clothing.

 

Mark your calendars - our 36th Annual Ironman Championship will be held 10/11 - 13/2024. We are anticipating that the Pine Lakes renovation will be completed by then, and we will play Oleander for the last time as that course is due to be replaced by a dunes-style course; renovation expected to start in January, 2025.

 

Thanks for your support of the Ironman!
