The tournament took place at Panola Woods Country Club in Ferriday and was a great success as a fundraiser for the church, the Rev. Father Louis Sklar said.

“We had another successful tournament,” Sklar said. “For the second year in a row the weather was beautiful. Everybody had a good time.”

In addition to the golf, the participants were fed a traditional Irish meal of Irish stew and cabbage.

Sklar gave tremendous credit to a team of volunteers, especially tournament chairwoman Suzanne Vegas.

“She did a great job and was assisted by the parishioners of the church,” Sklar said. “Everyone did a fantastic job. This is only my third year to be here. It was another stellar year.”
