For nearly 30 years, area golfers have descended on the Madison Golf and Country Club for the Annual Jake Sullivan Golf Tournament. This year, during the weekend of Saturday, Oct. 19, through Sunday, Oct. 20, golfers from around North Florida and South Georgia braved Tropical Storm Nestor's attempts to dampen their spirits. In the end, a great weekend of golf was enjoyed by everyone who participated. As one golfer put it, "Even a wet day on the golf course is better than a day at work."
