2023 Covey Buster Invitational
Clear skies and comfortable temps were made to order for this year’s Covey Buster Invitational. Players thrived under these ideal conditions, as eighteen teams from private clubs across the South competed in the annual professional member invitational held at Boot Ranch. At the glorious end of it all, Shady Oaks Country Club (Westworth Village, Texas) took home the coveted trophy.
Teams were comprised of three club members and one of their PGA professionals. The golf tournament format was a four-person 2 best-net Stableford, meaning each team received points based on their hole-by-hole score; the highest point total being the winner. Teams from private clubs in Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Florida, and Oklahoma participated in the popular tournament, including Austin Country Club, Austin Golf Club, Baton Rouge Country Club, Boot Ranch, Desert Mountain, Avila Golf & Country Club, Lakeside Country Club, Lochinvar Golf Club, Pine Forest, Shady Oaks, Southern Trace, Cedar Ridge, Southern Hills, Oaks Country Club and The Patriot.
In addition to enjoying the Texas Hill Country’s finest golf, participants were treated to the gracious amenities and relaxed, ranch experience at Boot Ranch. In between the 36 holes of golf, attendees could participate in a sporting clays competition, a putting shootout, a chipping contest and more. Guests enjoyed dinner at the Ranch Club on the first day and dinner at the Clubhouse on the second. All departed, undoubtedly with stories and memories to share, following the Round Two scoring and lunch.
Thank you to all the Clubs and participants, and to our sponsor, johnnie-O.
