Chippers and Muggles Sandhills

The "Chippers" and "Muggles" are two groups of couples who travel to various courses in the area for golf, followed by dinner at an area restaurant. We also schedule a yearly overnight "road trip" to a more distant destination such as Myrtle Beach or the mountains. In addition to our two groups, there are a number of other "Sandhills Groups." Most of the groups have 6 to 8 couples; some couples are in more than one group. A few years ago the "Muggles" (named from the Harry Potter movies) challenged the Chippers to a friendly match. A trophy was purchased to be awarded to the winner. This year's match, the third of the series was held October 21st. The match ended in a tie so the trophy wil be engraved with the names of both groups and will be shared. We would welcome similar challenge matches with other "Sandhills" groups. Everything is on a very friendly basis and we have a lot of fun at dinner and cocktails after the match, discussing how well (or poorly) we all played. If other people are interested in a challenge match they can contact Jim & Sharon Morris (Muggles) or Terry & Mary Lynn Riddle (Chippers).
