CROSSVILLE —
The Hustlers golf group recently presented their "Eagle Award" trophy for outstanding performance during 2012 to Jerry Houston. He became the 15th winner of this traveling trophy and is entitled to keep it until the next winner is determined in December, 2013.
The Hustlers group consists of 36 regular players and several substitute players, competing as four-person teams every Friday, all year long, weather permitting. Players are
rotated so the team structure differs from week to week. A record is kept of each player's finish position each time he plays.
The traveling Eagle trophy was established in 1998 as an annual award to recognize the regular golfer who averaged the best finish during the weekly competitions. For the 2012 season, Jerry averaged a 2.675 finish, making him this year's winner. Finishing in second place was Don Hawker, who averaged 2.795. Congratulations to Jerry from all of the Hustlers!
Previous winners were: Joe Lupion in 1998, Aaron Gray in 1999, Gene Crosley in 2000, Bud Stapleton in 2001 and
2002, Joe Doran in 2003, Larry Mick in 2004, Eldean Shelley in 2005, Ken Wilcox in 2006, Carl Genske in 2007, Jim Mercer in 2008, Bernie Bunyak in 2009, Bill Rogerson in 2010 and Don Fairchild in 2011.
The "Iron Man" award for 2012 went to Steve Murphy, who played 42 rounds during the year. Congratulations to all of the winners!

FFG Board signs contract to reduce goose population for health concerns
A solution to the over population of Canada geese in Fairfield Glade is being addressed by Fairfield Glade Board of Directors. The board signed a contract with USDA Wildlife Services to remedy the health concerns caused by the large number of geese that have made their home in the resort. A presentation at the Community Center conducted by District Supervisor Keith Blanton, USDA Wildlife Services, provided the FFG Board and members an overview of the health problems due to goose droppings and methods to get the problem under control. TVA and TWRA established Canada geese flocks in Tennessee in the 1960s and 1970s. Hunters take about 20,000 geese per year during the hunting season.
