The season finale tournament at Briarwood Country Club was a fun and lively golf tournament where the Superintendent and golf staff hosted a tournament for the members with challenging obstacles throughout the course! Foursomes were organized by the Staff and “A Scramble” was the format. From tractors, mowers & rakes strategically laid out on the course, players having to tee off inside sand traps to wind around trees…every hole had a unique challenge!
A wine and cheese party was held after the tournament inside the Pro Shop offering season ending bargains in the Pro Shop.
The day ended with a dinner in the banquet room, awards and a “Fond Farewell” to our winter snowbird members who are heading back to colder climates for the summer.
This is the time I love the most around Briarwood Country Club. While the middays are hot, it is so nice to tee off around 8am and get 18 holes in before noon. This is also a wonderful time to explore a dining or social membership over the summer at the club to meet those like us who are here all year long and enjoy the many amenities of the club!
Why This Tournament Was Different
Shannon’s original account describes an event-day course filled with unusual obstacles and altered starting positions, followed by a gathering for participants. Those details capture this particular edition of “Superintendent’s Revenge.” The name does not identify one standardized golf format, and the exact challenges should not be assumed for any future event.
The original photos and video also show the people who delivered the 2023 briefing. Any names or job titles in that recap refer to their roles at the time of the event; they should not be presented as Briarwood’s current staff.
How a Scramble Usually Works
The event was described as a scramble. Under The R&A’s official Committee Procedures, team members each tee off, the team selects a shot, and all members play from that location. The process repeats until the ball is holed. Committees may create variations, which is especially relevant for a novelty setup like this one.
Current Briarwood Information
Briarwood’s official course page is the better source for present course information. Swing First says it acquired Briarwood in 2024, after this recap; consult its current Briarwood overview before making membership or event plans.
