On Friday, at the Buford Ellington Golf Course, the Cothran foursome of Lee and Stacey Cothran, along with Jerry Byrd and Anthony Puca lit up the fairways and greens at Henry Horton State Park, shooting a 12-under par 60 to win the Forrest Alumni Golf Tournament.

The Cothran team finished three shots clear of the field as Team Barnes and Team Walls tied for second, posting identical nine-under par 63s at the 6,325-yard tract in Chapel Hill.

Second place

David Barnes, Jamie Young, John Hendon, and Sam Smith made up Team Barnes, while Team Walls consisted of the foursome of Stephen Walls, Kenneth Uselton, Charles Dickens, and Jeff Griffy.

In fourth place, carding a 64 was Team First Commerce with David Delk, T.J. Tipps, Ryan Perryman, and Greg Hill.

Johnny and Jimmy Rickman, Perry Piper, and Danny Blaylock teamed up for a 65 for Team Fantastic, while Team FHS posted a 66 with Davy McClaran, Jeremy and Jimmy Jean, and Wes Long.

Shooting a 67 was the Chapel Hill Lions Club squad of Randy Perryman, Drew Perryman, Phil Manners, and Mike Waggoner.

Further back

Team Batte's 68 was put together by Billy Batte, Philip Daughrity, Gary Holder, and Earl Haynes and the City of Chapel Hill shot 69 with Mayor Carl Cooper, Mike Hatten, Jackie King, and Pam Elliot teeing it up.

In the basement were the not so super Team Superstars of Adam Ezell, Marty Purdom, Darnell Fulton, and Bubba Paul, who limped in with a one-under par 71.

T.J. Tipps took home both individual awards, bombing the longest drive on the Par 5 18th hole and knocking his ball closest to the pin on the Par 3 second hole at Henry Horton.
