The fairways of Smithville Golf Course were filled with laughter, friendly competition, and a strong sense of community spirit on Saturday, May 31, as local golfers gathered for the Smithville Bogey Boys Golf Tournament.

Organized by the light-hearted local golf group known as the Smithville Bogey Boys, the event was designed to bring together golfers of all skill levels for a day of fun, fellowship, and a shared love of the game. The tournament drew a crowd of both local players and out-of-town guests—many of whom have already expressed interest in returning next year.

“This wasn’t just about golf,” said one participant. “It was about bringing people together. And you could really feel that out here today.”

The tournament was made possible by the generosity of several local businesses and community leaders. Their support helped cover prizes, giveaways, and event logistics, allowing the day to run smoothly and leave a lasting impression.

Sponsors included: Shannon Cantrell, Smithville Assessor of Property; Smithville Donuts; Lipstick Pig; Food Lion; Rick Barlow’s Club Repair; El Rancho; Sonic; Ace Hardware; BW Fine Cigar Shop & Lounge; Isaac Walker; Gracie Nicholson; and Smithville Golf Course.

The tournament featured multiple contests and giveaways that added an extra layer of excitement throughout the day:

·         First Place: Brain Koegler & Caleb Gash– Trophy + Free 18-hole round of golf

·         Second Place: Austin Garrett & Ethan Hale– Two $35 gift cards to El Rancho

·         Closest to the Pin (Hole 4): Michael Atnip– Box of Titleist Pro V1x golf balls

·         Longest Drive (Hole 7): Colton Seifert – Free 9-hole round of golf

In addition to the main competition, participants had the chance to win a variety of prizes, including:

·         A free golf lesson with Isaac Walker

·         $25 gift card from BW Fine Cigar Shop & Lounge

·         A new hybrid golf club

·         Sonic coupons

·         A decorative hummingbird feeder

Everyone walked away with something—whether it was a prize, a new friendship, or just a great story to tell. Plans are already underway for next year’s tournament, and if this first one is any indication, the best is yet to come.
