Taylor County Golf Course Gets GSGA Rating

I know about this time of the year golf fans are just chomping at the bit for warmer days to spend on the fairways and greens around Central Georgia. Well here's a bonus for you.

About a year ago we brought you the heartwarming story of how a good many folks in Butler and Reynolds all banded together to revive their nine hole golf course. These folks put in back -breaking manual labor. They cut down trees, turned their noses up at snakes as they drained and unchoked weeds from the waterways, and painstakingly picked weeds off the greens with little pocket knives. Then, if all of that doesn't seem like enough work, they brought in bulldozers and created a nice sized driving range.

With a budget nowhere close to what they spend on the course at the Masters, the town folk even volunteered their time to work at the pro-shop. It was a great effort and now it's playing off. Recently the Georgia State Golf Association accepted the Reynolds Golf Club into their ranks. This is a big deal because membership provides a variety of benefits and services. If you go out there you can now utilize the computerized handicapping service.

It's not many times we see an entire county rally together and work hard to preserve history and make their recreation facilities a better place for the community.
But I think we can safely say that Reynolds has scored an eagle in their efforts.

By the way if you want to visit the course it's on Hwy 128 N in Reynolds, Georgia. And if you're looking for a cheap round, drive the extra miles, it will only cost you fifteen bucks for nine holes, twenty for 18, and that includes the cart.

See ya next time,
