Golf Tournament

The 2010 SGS Golf Tournament was held at Tchefuncta Country Club Thursday March 18^th, the day after St. Patrick's and the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 213. Each year we get to enjoy beautiful weather, camaraderie, a crawfish boil and, as always, good times whilst raising funds to support a worthy cause. This year was no exception as George Rhodes and Tim Maciejewski's photos will attest. The funds raised are then allocated by the Scholarship Committee to High School and University Students and awarded in May.

A big thank you as always to all our sponsors.

The 350 or so pictures George Rhoads and Tim Maciejewski took at this year’s SGS Golf Tournament (they were the guys you kept hitting the balls towards) are posted at the following photo sharing websites:
