Congratulations to Jim Beckman's team who travelled the farthest from Sebring, Florida to join us this year. This is their second appearance in The Invitational. All three of these players are from Effingham, Illinois originally. Dave Martin (in blue shirt) is the PGA pro at WildeWood CC in Columbia. Jim and Dick Sutton reside in Sebring and were hosted by brother John Beckman, who is also the tournament director. This team tied for 19th in 2009 with a score of 72. This past year, they improved their standing to 9th in their division by shooting a 73. Nice play for 3 seniors!!
It must also be mentioned that Jim and Dick have added a lot of their own time and energy to the preparations needed to get this event off the ground. Their carpentry skills and hole-digging ability help you keep track of the many scoreboards and leaderboard displayed during play. John builds them, but these guys put them in place. Thanks for your blood, swearing and tears (of laughter!).
