With the football season closing in, the summer vacation season is fading away. As students and teachers report for another fun-filled year in the classroom, many of the county golfers are storing the clubs for the winter. An upcoming tournament at Yoda Creek Golf Club, brought to you by the Grace Club of Bruce, should make you pause before doing so.
The four-man scramble, scheduled for August 16th-17th, is creating quite the buzz in North Mississippi. With good reason. Culminating a superb job of planning by the Grace Club and organization by the Men’s Golf Association at Yoda Creek, the event will display the beautiful course and open the eyes of what Bruce has to offer.
Just recently, the Cart Barn Inn was erected adjacent to the golf course. The eclectic bed and breakfast offers visitors a chance to experience golf and lodging in a small town. The city continues to be proactive with radio advertisements in the local media market, while continuing to attract new businesses to the area. Showcasing the golf course is yet another positive move to continue moving forward.
Yoda Creek was the dream of one of the brilliant minds of Calhoun County, Harry Waller. Bruce Telephone Company, launched by Waller, continues to be a staple in the community. His daughter, Connie Collins, serves as the CEO and continues to be a sitting board member at the club. Although Harry has passed away, his legacy continues on the property just North of Bruce. The nine hole course is situated through the rolling hills, as the fairways and green are adorned with plush Bermuda grass. Jerry Warrington, head groundskeeper, has maintained the course and continues to make Yoda Creek a gem among nine hole tracts in Mississippi. While some might disagree, the par-4 fifth hole is my personal favorite. If you get the chance, pause for a moment and soak up the beauty it has to offer as you look to the south and west. Many things in life are not free, the view for the fifth is.
Darrell Bramlett, one of the many organizers of the event, is quite pleased with the progress of the tournament. “We are happy to have an event of this magnitude at Yoda Creek to give the area golfers a chance to play in a first class tournament,” Bramlett said. “With the Grace Club and the Men’s Golf Association working together, we hope this tournament continues to be a positive light on the City of Bruce and Yoda Creek.”
The two-day tournament will feature a steak supper, calcutta and entertainment following play on Saturday. For more information, please call the Yoda Creek Golf Club at 662-983-YODA.
