KPA, TPA golfers tee off against one another

Who says Kentucky can only beat Tennessee in basketball?

Several KPA golfers proved that during the 2002 Kentucky Press Association/Tennessee Press Association golf outing, held Friday, June 21, at Bent Creek Country Club in Gatlinburg.

In fact, Kentucky golfers swept the top prizes. A KPA foursome of Jon Fleischaker, KPA general counsel; Dr. Bob McGaughey, former director of the School of Communications at Murray State University; and, Greg LeNeave and Clint Dennis, both with Kentucky Publishing, finished in first with a team net score of 62.

KPA President David Eldridge won the closet to the pin contest, edging out KPA Executive Director David T. Thompson, and Crittenden Press publisher Chris Evans won the longest drive competition.

Finishing second in the low net was Princeton Times Leader publisher Chip Hutcheson, with KPA Associate members Rick Bridwell, of Abitibi Consolidated Sales Corp. and American Profile’s Stephen Dorris. (Dorris is also co-owner of a weekly newspapers in Tennessee but is a KPA Associate Member with his involvement in American Profile.) The fourth member of the group, David Henderson of Morristown, TN., kept KPA members from sweeping the competition. Bring on football!
