Transportation Club hosts golf tournament

By Rochelle Rucker

The Transportation Club of Houston hosted its annual golf tournament Oct. 25 at Longwood Golf Club in Cypress, Texas. It was a really great event on a fantastic golf course. The format was the usual four-man scramble. That's me in black posing with my team, (left) and chipping onto the green, (right).

Longwood Golf Club was designed by former touring pro Keith Fergus and University of Houston golf coach Harry Yewens. This 27-hole course combines a picturesque setting with world-class golf.

The course has also been consistently rated among the top five daily fee courses in the Houston area. Longwood Golf Club has been given four stars in Golf Digest’s Places to Play and was recently voted in the Top 25 best daily fee courses in Texas by Gulf Coast Golfer.
Its fairways are carved out of dense forest, making each hole secluded, distinctive and memorable. The small, well-bunkered greens were crafted with low handicap players in mind, while four sets of tees and generous entrances to the greens provide players of all skill levels with and enjoyable golf challenge.
