Greg Gaston on Teeing Off in Tunica

Considering that I have been heavily involved in sports for years, it probably is no surprise that I try to find something sport-related almost everywhere I go. Even though I am a fan of all sports, my favorite to play is golf. Anytime that I can get away to get in a good game of golf, I do. Sometimes I want to get out of Memphis, but don’t have time to travel a long distance to other courses. Luckily for me, Tunica is just down the road.
