Competitive rounds, standout performances, and closest-to-the-pin honors highlight a challenging day at the Robert Trent Jones Highlands Course during the June 27 Veterans Golf Association tournament.
DOTHAN, Ala. | The summer heat was no match for the determination of the competitors as members of the Veterans Golf Association (VGA) teed off Saturday at RTJ at The Highlands in Dothan, Alabama, opening the weekend tournament on the challenging Magnolia-to-Highlands routing.
Temperatures climbed steadily throughout the day, testing every player's endurance, but the atmosphere remained upbeat as 45 members paused for a popular group photo with the iconic Peanut monument, one of Dothan's signature attractions.
The tournament showcased strong performances across multiple divisions, with veterans from every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces competing alongside family members in one of the VGA's signature events. Several players delivered outstanding rounds despite the difficult playing conditions.
In the No Handicap division, Kevin Eudy (U.S. Army) of Daphne, Alabama, carded a 101 to earn the victory and later added another highlight by winning one of the day's Closest-to-the-Pin competitions.
The women's divisions also featured outstanding performances. Kim Moehler (U.S. Air Force) of Pace, Florida, claimed the Female Family Flight after posting an 89 gross score and an outstanding net 79. Robyn Pierce (U.S. Navy) of Pace, Florida, won the Female Veteran C Flight with an 85 while also capturing Closest-to-the-Pin honors on Hole No. 2.
Tournament organizers thanked Kayla, Susan, and Chris for their support in making the event a success, while congratulating all flight champions on their exceptional play under demanding summer conditions.
