The sixth annual disk golf tournament played in honor of community legend R. Lowell Thompson graced the green grasses of the Fullerton-Garrity Park on Saturday complete with homemade cookies and the esteemed members of the event host, The Lions Club of Navarro County. The event was sponsored by Mike and Sherry Dowd, Hood AC and Appliances, French Auto Repair and Detail, Dighton Family, Stewart Smith State Farm Insurance, Casita’s Travel Trailers, the Thompson Family and many more.
Patrick and Eli Powers, a father and son duo, won the first-place prize of $200. Their team finished strong, earning bonus prizes for getting closest to the hole and throwing the longest drive during the tournament and totaled 64 throws compared to second- place’s 108 total throws.
Second place went to Raj and Johannes Kripalani and their caddy, Jathan Kripalani. This team was also a father and sons, with youngest participants of the games, Johannes at 12, and Jathan at 9 years old, enjoying the first true heat of the summer.
The competition played 18 holes, all around Fullerton-Garrity Park. The Lions Club collaborated with the City of Corsicana to first, expand the course from nine holes to its current eighteen, then adding concrete slabs for players to tee from.
The tradition is set to continue next year with even more comradery and competitive spirit.
