PLYMOUTH - This Thursday, August 6, marks the 57th Annual Member-Guest golf tournament at the Canasawacta Country Club. Members and their guests will participate in the three day tournament that concludes Saturday, August 8.

Over 170 golfers will return to the course this year to see if they can capture the championship for themselves. A shotgun start at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday means that play will be starting early this year. Last year’s overall winners, Matt Burrell and Craig Dawson, will return to attempt a repeat. “Both guys are solid golfers,” said Club President Tim Carson. “They’re really consistent guys who can definitely repeat this year if they play well.”

Burrell and Dawson both say that they have been playing together for at least seven years. After a fantastic start to the tournament last year, the pairing ended on a high note by blowing away the rest of the field. Burrell and Dawson finished all three rounds without a single bogey. “That’s not something to take lightly,” Carson said. “Here or on any course that’s very impressive.”
