“The Lake Charles Men’s City Golf Championship is always a feature golf event in Lake Charles showcasing our local amateur talent,” said Derek Smith, Head Golf Pro at Mallard Cove. “Our golf talent base in this area of the state is very strong and local high school teams continue to feed new talent into this event,” continued Smith. “The kids come out and try to show their adult peers, and in some cases, their fathers, that they can be competitive.”
