We kicked off the 2026 golf season in the best way possible at the Ladd’s Pro-Pro-Pro Scramble at Old Fort Golf Club! It was an incredible day filled with great golf, good company, and the perfect start to a new season. Congratulations to our winners @fennellsgolf PGA , @gregwyattgolfgclc PGA, ...and Mark Houser, PGA on an outstanding performance!
