🏆 Congratulations, Molly Jamison!

Valley Hill Country Club is incredibly proud to celebrate one of our own, Molly Jamison, on an outstanding performance at the Lee Hodges SJGT at Canebrake!

Molly captured the Overall Female Division Championship with rounds of 75 and 72, finishing with an impressive two-round total of 147.

It is always special to see our Valley Hill members competing, growing, and succeeding at such a high level. Molly’s hard work, dedication, and competitive spirit continue to shine, and we are excited to celebrate this well-earned accomplishment with her.

Way to go, Molly! Your Valley Hill family is proud of you!

Championship golf. Club pride. A weekend worthy of Valley Hill.

Thank you to every player who competed in the 2026 Valley Hill Men’s & Senior Club Championships.

From the opening tee shots to the final putts, this year’s championship delivered outstanding competition, great camaraderie, and a true test of golf—while, for the most part, staying one step ahead of the weather.

Leading the field was Sam Wolfe, who delivered a record-setting performance. Sam finished at 10-under par with rounds of 65, 69, and 71 for a three-day total of 205, earning Valley Hill’s highest individual golf honor as the 2026 Men’s Club Champion.

Congratulations to all of our 2026 champions:

Men’s Club Champion: Sam Wolfe — 205 (-10)
II Tee Champion: Brantley Johnson — 161
Senior Club Champion: Flip Bradley — 217
III Tee Champion: Gary Valcana — 153
IV Tee Champion: Bob Overbeek — 155
V Tee Champion: Randy Renfroe — 171

Sam Wolfe, Flip Bradley, and the top 10 finishers in the Men’s Club Championship have also earned the opportunity to represent Valley Hill in the 2026 Battle of the Parkway against Huntsville Country Club. We are proud of the team that will carry the Valley Hill name into this year’s competition.

A special thank-you goes to Jeff Lee and the entire Golf Course Maintenance Team for the countless hours, attention to detail, and tremendous effort required to create true championship conditions. The course was presented at its very best and provided an outstanding test for every division.

Most importantly, thank you to every participant, family member, supporter, Golf Shop team member, staff member, and volunteer who helped make the weekend possible. Your support and commitment continue to make the Club Championship one of Valley Hill’s premier traditions.

Congratulations again to our champions, and thank you to everyone who made the 2026 championship weekend one to remember.
