2023 ScissorTail Invitational

Matt Baird - TD | Published on 6/22/2023

ScissorTail Invitational

June 22-25, 2023
Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club

The 2023 ScissorTail Oklahoma Championship was held June 22-25 at Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with two flights participating in the American Six Wicket event. The tournament attracted participants from Tennessee, Texas, Kansas, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City.

The weather over all cooperated. Even with a two-hour rain delay on Friday, all the matches were completed. Participants figured out how to stay cool in humid temperatures. The competition was stiff but friendly. At the end of a full day of matches, the social events allowed us to cool down and relax.

Conner Helms took first place in Championship Flight, with Matt Baird taking second place and Britt Ruby claiming third. In First Flight, Dale Jordan claimed first place with Carl Archiniaco in second and Suzanne Spradling taking third place.

The lawns presented challenges with firm hoops, some slope, fast hoop approaches and

good lawn speed overall. The club, courts and setting provided a beautiful backdrop for

croquet.
