| Mad-Dogs Choose-Up |
|
We found Mickey Bell, Lester Robbs, Jimmy Phillips and Dennis Bailey at the Shelby City Parks Royster Golf Course, participating in the Mad-Dogs Choose-Up. The Mad-Dogs Choose-Up is held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Each player signs up, gets their handicap, joins a team and puts up $10. It then becomes a dog-fight as all the teams play against each other. The team that wins gets the prize money, that was put up at the beginning of the game. The Choose-Up is a very popular program. It begins at 12:00 noon. Sign up is required by 11:50 am at the golf shop or by calling 704-484-6823.
The Royster Golf Course is located at 850 West Sumter Street in Shelby. It began in 1948 when Dr. and Mrs. S. S. Royster announced the donation of approximately 50 acres of land to the City of Shelby for a new Municipal Park. The land was developed and a nine hole course was dedicated as the Royster Memorial Golf Course as part of the Shelby City Parks and Recreation Department. The course is open 8:00 AM until dusk 364 days a year. It is only closed on Christmas Day.
