Cannon-Ball Action Will Be Hot, Temperatures To Be Even Hotter!

It is the 31st annual edition of the Cannon-Ball Member-Guest Best-Ball Golf Tournament at the Scobey Golf Course and a record field will be battling for the championship.

There are 51 two-man teams competing, a record high, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (July 10-12) on the local nine-hole layout, which will be jammed packed with competitors.

The defending tourney champions are Tate Benson of Scobey and his guest Jeff Ordahl of Outlook who fashioned a very fine score of 61-61—122 last year. They will be trying to become just the third team ever to capture back-to-back Cannonball championships.

Only two times in the history of the tournament has a Scobey Golf Club member been on back-to-back winning teams.

Ryan Harrington of Scobey was the first to do it. In 2017 he teamed with Wolf Point’s Brock Copenhaver (63-57—120) and in 2018 he golfed with Brock’s brother Easton Copenhaver (61-66—127). Harrington also won it in 2012 with Wolf Point’s Rodney Paulson as his partner (61-59— 120).

Seth Nelson of Scobey was the other Scobey Golf Club member to post backto-back wins.<...
