Oh, what a beautiful day…
“This will be your chance to bring home a special part of Bent Tree that everyone admired.”
Click here for a related previous post. It turns out that a talented Bent Tree woodworker created a bowl from some of the cherry wood, and donated it for the Fall Fest Silent Auction. He also donated a bowl that he made from a tree that was on the golf course. You can see pictures of the beautiful bowls on the Bent Tree NextDoor website. The quote above (the post title) is from the post on NextDoor. The Fall Fest is scheduled for Saturday, October 28.

Bent Tree MGA Tournament This Weekend
The president of the Bent Tree Men’s Golf Association has a Letter to the Editor in this week’s Pickens County Progress regarding the group’s annual “NFL” golf tournament. In the past, each four person team represented a National Football League team and officially licensed NFL items were purchased for the participants. This year, many members were reluctant to participate in anything that was related to, or supported, the NFL. So, the tournament is now the “Not For Long” tournament and the team owners can name their teams after anything except NFL teams. To read the letter, see the current edition of the newspaper. The following is a quote from the Letter to the Editor: “Yes, thank God, they have the right to take a knee but we the fans also have a right to boycott their actions, privileged lifestyles and the game they play.”
