Over The Hills (and Far Away) - Bugtussle, TN

Congratulations to our very own Jim Self, who recently journeyed back to his native Tennessee to compete in the 92nd annual Bugtussle CC Varmint Shootout.

A prestigious event on the BRASS (Blue Ridge-Appalachians-Smokey Mountain) Tour, "The Varmint" is contested using a variation of the popular Stableford Modified Scoring System. In addition to accumulating points for score against par (i.e., bogey: -1 point; par: + 1; birdie: + 3; eagle: + 7), the members of each team also receive points for the type and number of indigenous game species bagged during the course of each round (i.e., hound dog: -1; chipmunk: +3; squirrel: +5; possum: +7).

Thanks to Jim's legendary short game and the keen marksmanship of Jed "Skunk Turd" McCoy (pictured above, top left, at the post-tournament BBQ and moonshine tasting), Team Self captured the 2009 Shootout, achieving their quota in both points and varmints.

Congratulations, Jim!
