Friday’s annual West Plains Chamber of Commerce Caddyshack Classic Golf Tournament was a hot one! Thirty-four 3-person scramble teams began Shot-Gun style at the West Plains Country Club to vie for raffle prizes, and a chance to make a hole in one shot for a ‘Mega Motorsports’ 2025 Spartan RZ-HD Zero Turn mower. Golfers began the tournament with a ‘Burton Creek Rural Clinic/Hirsch Feed & Farm Supply of West Plains/Ozarks Healthcare/Perennial Energy’ lunch. Everyone was able to warm up on the ‘West Plains Bank & Trust Company Driving Range AND Putting Green’ and enjoyed some tournament beverages compliments of Southern Bank.
