DAILY LEADER / Photo Submitted / Wolf Hollow Club team captain Alex Shoemake (left), and Brookhaven Country Club team captain Glynn Murray (right) gladly poses with Mr. Ed Norwood and his Cup as they get ready to lead their teams to victory this weekend.
The sixth annual Norwood Cup competition is set for this weekend at the Wolf Hollow Golf Club in Wesson and the Brookhaven Country Club. The two-day event matches the top 20 golfers from each club.
The Norwood Cup is named in honor of Brookhavenite Ed Norwood who has donated thousands of volunteer hours at each club promoting the game of golf.
Cup captains are Alex Shoemake of Wolf Hollow and Glynn Murray of the Brookhaven Country Club. Wolf Hollow leads the competition four victories to one.
Brookhaven has put together a really talented team this year, which should have a chance to bring the cup back to BCC for a year. Whichever team wins the event gets to keep the trophy on display for the year following.
Competition begins Saturday morning at 10 with a nine-hole, alternate shot format. After lunch, a four-ball match play tournament will be held at the Wolf Hollow Golf Club, starting at 1 p.m.
Individual matches are set for Sunday at the Brookhaven Country Club, beginning at 1 p.m.
