AP&EA hosted its annual meeting golf tournament at the Sandestin Baytowne course on Monday, August 2, 2004. The tournament began at 8:30 a.m. with a shotgun start.
      Casey Jones, the tournament chair, stated that he felt the golf tournament was a huge success. “Everyone who plays in our golf tournament seems to have a great time and the course was in excellent shape this year,” said Jones.
      It seems that all participants enjoyed
the event, especially tournament champi-
ons Camp Powers, Russell Hodgins and
Wally Taylor, who have bragging rights
until next year’s competition.
      Continual efforts are made to improve the tournament each year. Jones    is    frequently     tweaking    the

tournament to ensure that it is a hit. He affirmed that the course’s staff is a big part of the event’s success. Jones states, “The staff at the Sandestin courses go out of their way to accommodate the Alabama Poultry & Egg Association and we are looking forward to next year.”
