The Music Row Ladies Golf Tournament—presented in 2016 by Keith Urban and sponsored by ASCAP, City National Bank and Tim McGraw—has announced that the long-running charity event has raised over $1.95 million dollars for United Cerebral Palsy of Middle Tennessee in its three-decade history. The 30th annual tournament took place on Monday, August 15 at Old Natchez Country Club in Franklin, Tennessee.
As always, the tournament’s participant teams were encouraged to dress in costume, with awards for best dressed. First place was awarded to Team Razor & Tie’s “Christmas In August.” Second place went to Team Vaden Group’s pirate theme. Team Black River Entertainment’s “Peter Pan” took the third place trophy. Musicians Hall of Fame’s Kay Smith received the spirit award for having participated in 29 of the 30 tournaments to date, and Sony/ATV Music Publishing’s “Team USA” were given the “MRLGT Foursome Spirit” Award.
