The Twelfth Annual Jonathan B. Loden Golf Tournament
September 14, 2018 & October 26th, 2018
September 14, 2018, at Turf Valley, Ellicott City, Maryland just wasn't meant to be the day for the 12th annual Jonathan B. Loden Memorial Golf Tournament. With one of the rainiest seasons already on record as the date for the tournament approached, so did Hurricane Florence. She was predicted to make landfall along the Carolina shores and move rapidly up the coast through Virginia and into Maryland. She took a slight southern turn as it approached landfall and devastated the Carolinas setting new records for rainfall with over 30 inches of rain in North Carolina.
We had been very lucky in recent years concerning the weather, and but this year was to be an exception! A decision to postpone the tournament till October 26th was made and it was the correct decision. The course was totally under water in most places.
Croswell’s Crusaders put on the rain gear and made the trip in September anyway. They were able to slosh around on Thursday at the Hialeah Turf Valley course even though most of it was a swamp. The day of the tournament they ventured over to Challedon Golf Course for another round of water golf. The Loden's were gracious hosts in making the most out of a very wet situation.
The weather cooperated for the October rescheduled date. Just a little on the chilly side. We had quite a number of golfers reschedule and were able to play in the event in October, including one foursome from the Crusaders.
Thank you, and we will see you next year for the 13th Annual Jonathan B. Loden Tournament on September 27th, 2019 at Turf Valley!
