May 7, 2024
Jeff headed to Brainerd and Cragun's for a 24 man tournament and pulled off the comeback victory as the leaders melted down the stretch. He took home the used car salesman jacket and some cash. He will discuss his buddies tournament at Cragun's Legacy this week. Tim is on the move again as he is about to head to Myrtle Beach to play some golf and do some media work at the first annual Myrtle Beach Classic.
