The team of Jered Maloney, left, playing on his home course, at Old Hickory, and BenCratsley, right, from Centerpointe Country Club, took home top honors in the 2015RDGA Two Person Four Ball at Old Hickory Golf Club on May 9.

Players were treated to a course in great condition and, following play, enjoyed a steak dinner on the large outdoor grill – all thanks to the fine hospitality of Old Hickory’s staff.
