By East Alabama Sports Today
Randy Lipscomb tasted victory with in the 2022 Calhoun County Team Championship with Gadsden neighbor Dane Moore. Lipscomb will try to do it again with a new teammate in the 2023 version.
Lipscomb will team with Jake Nichols as the county team championship plays out at Silver Lakes on Saturday and Sunday, with 54 two-man teams spread out over 27 foursomes.
The event is a two-person tournament. The format for Day 1 will be a two-person scramble (choose the best tee shot, continue this format until the ball is holed). Day 1 will play out on the Backbreaker & Mindbreaker courses.
Day 2 will be a two-person scamble (choose the best tee shot, then play own ball from this position). Day 2 will play out on the Mindbreaker & Heartbreaker golf courses.
Lipscomb and Moore won in 2022, their first time to play together as a team. Moore sank a three-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff against former Jacksonville State University teammates Max Basler and Layton Bussey to win.
The two playoff teams shot 9-under-par 63s in the final round, 21-under 123 in regulation, and chased down the two overnight co-leaders they trailed by three going into the round.
Brandon Hammond and John Harman, the 2021 winners and 2022 co-leaders after the first round, shot a final-round 67 and finished one shot out of the playoff. Hammond-Harman will return this year.
First-round co-leaders Ott and Dalton Chandler will return but on different teams. Dalton Chandler will team with Carson Chandler, and Ott Chandler will team with Kevin Daugherty.
