The Terry Woods Memorial Golf Tournament will be held tomorrow and Sunday (June 25 & 26) at Hidden Trails Country Club in Dexter. This is a very special day for our community, and one that allows a great man's life to be highlighted to many people.

Terry was a man of few words, but many throughout the area knew of the love he had for his family. His love of music, golf and his church family was put on display each day of his life.

Even as Terry went through his struggles with cancer, he was brave, encouraging and strong. Terry’s quiet way of showing a Godly love to others was genuine to the core of his being.

Tomorrow is very unique, as it was the exact date in which his friends, neighbors and family gave him up to be with the Lord. Not only will the day be marked by the golf tournament, but a special memorial service will be held in his honor.

At 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, members of Hidden Trails, businessmen and women from the community, church members and family members will gather to establish the Terry Woods Memorial at Hidden Trails Country Club.

An American flag pole is being erected as a tribute to Terry’s life and testimony of how he lived on this earth, not to celebrate the man but to celebrate the man’s way.

Additional proceeds raised from the event are slated for improvements to Hidden Trails Country Club, and will be used to improve the cart paths around the beautiful 18-hole course.

Currently, there are over 24 teams signed up and others are encouraged to join the event. The organizers are working to combine teams of single players and the cost is only $75 per person. Prizes will be given back to the club for renovations of the cart paths.

“It’s a fun day to simply remember Terry and the way he lived his life,” Jack Huffman, dear friend of Woods and event organizer, said. “We encourage everyone to join us at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow to join in with us.”
