As many of you know, Donnie Coultas was my dad and Taylor Pawlish was one of my best golf buds.  They were both super-competitive.  From Donnie's younger days playing softball, to more recently playing golf and bocce, Donnie hated to lose.  So did Taylor.  This Memorial Golf Tour is for all golfers that like to to win and have fun, just Like Donnie and Taylor.  

The Skins game format is being used because Donnie and Taylor hated giving strokes.  With a "Main Game" Skins game and a "B Flight" Skins game being played at each event, everyone can compete and handicap strokes don't determine the outcome.  That's how my Dad and our buddy Taylor always wanted it, so that's how we are going to do it.

EVENT FEE BREAKDOWN - $35 event fee to cover administration and entry into the Skins Game ($20pp) and Closest-to-the-Pins on par 3s ($10pp).  Please note:  B Flight Players' $20 Skins fee to be divided between the Main Game and the B Flight Skins Game.  B Flight is the bottom 50% in HCP AVG playing at the event.

Over the years, Donnie made many friends playing with us in Ryder Cups and at the Tuesday Night League at Quicksilver.  He also brought a lot of friends into our golf group.  Guys from the Rocks, guys from the Air National Guard Base, and guys from Florida were all guys that he brought to the McKees Rocks Masters golf trip that we play in Myrtle Beach, SC every year.  Those were some great years.

He attended 19 times between 1999 and 2018, and was the 1999, 2000, and 2003 Champion.  He loved it at the beach.  Donnie finished his career on the senior circuit dominating the Golf-A-Holics Golf League here in Pittsburgh and the VFW League that he played in Florida.

Brian Cook 1980-2021 (40)

Brian orignally came to our group when he joined the Tuesday Night League at Quicksilver.  "Cookie" as he was known by some of us, attended the McKees Rocks Masters 3 times between 2019 and 2021 and is known for his yelling of "Myrtle Beach" when he hit a good shot.

Brian Webb 1972-2023 (50)

Bwebb had a couple nicknames within our group.  He was also know as B Flight Webb, and Silk.  Silk is actually a name he gave himself, I guess because of how smooth he was.  He was a regular for the McKees Rocks Masters golf trip played in the Myrtle Beach, SC area.  Brian attended 7 times between 2016 and 2022 and was known for his fancy shirts and fancy jeans when we went out for dinner and cocktails.  He could always supply you with a good laugh.

Taylor originally came to our group at a Ryder Cup event that was held at Lake Arthur CC.  From that event forward, Taylor played with us in Ryder Cups and the Tuesday Night League at Quicksilver and Shadow Lakes.  He was also a regular for the McKees Rocks Masters golf trip played in the Myrtle Beach, SC area.  He attended 6 times between 2015 and 2022.  Taylor was the 2015 and 2022 Champion.

Taylor was a beloved friend of ours and one of my best golf buds.  He was one of the few guys that would walk 9 holes with me.  He was a super-competitive Recreational Golfer.  He always wanted to win.  Taylor was so well liked that me and him actually created this tour before his passing.  Our goal was to give everyone a chance to play with him on a monthly basis after his move way out to New Kensington.  Who knew it would turn into a Memorial golf tour? 

Taylor was also the 2021 Tuesday Night League Champion.
