RANGELY I The annual Couples Classic Golf Tournament was played at Cedar Ridges Golf Course on Saturday and Sunday, and the two-day event featured 20 teams from across the Western Slope and eastern Utah that were divided into two flights.
Only one Rangely team placed in the top three of the championship flight, but Rangely golfers dominated the second flight.
“The format for this tournament is Chapman, which makes for an interesting round of golf,” Cedar Ridges golf manager Chris Hejl said. “We were fortunate to have picture perfect weather and a great, competitive field for one of our best tournaments of the season.”
