Over the past five years, the Dallas Tour has opened it's calendar year schedule at Tangle Ridge for the Grand Prairie Classic then moving to Iron Horse Golf Course in North Richland Hills, TX, for a change of luck, but the change in 2015 didn't help, with a continuation of cold, rain and wet conditions on the menu. 2016 introduced tour players to a February event, with light winds and warm conditions, unlike any we have seen in the recent history.
Joshua Tankersly, grabbed the Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving, with a net -3.
The winner of the Feherty's Troops First Foundation 50/50 raffle, grabbed $390, bringing the year to date total from the Texas Tours to $1,820 contributed to the Foundation.
