HOGANSVILLE – Thirty people hit the greens for a little competition and a lot of fun for the annual Golden Olympics Golf tournament at the Hogansville Golf Club earlier this week.

The event was a partnership between the golf club and the Hogansville Active Life Center for people ages 55 years and older.

The golfers competed with others within their age groups: 55 years old – 64 years old, 65 years old – 74 years old and 75 years old and up.

Golfers were treated to a free round of golf, a barbecue lunch, drinks, a golf towel and chances to win several door prizes.

“We were overjoyed with the outpouring of community support through sponsorships and donations,” said Melanie Dodgen with the Hogansville Active Life Center. “I look forward to many tournaments in years to come.”
