As it is tradition here, the Tumbleweed kicks off with an alternate shot horserace on Friday afternoon. This year's horserace was very special, as the honorary host, Cathy Robison, was not an Elk City resident.
We asked Cathy to be our co-host of the horserace because her and her husband Levi, who was an Army veteran, never missed our tournament or the horserace, and his passing earlier in the year, left a void in our small world of golf in Western Oklahoma. 
Everywhere you went around Western Oklahoma and beyond, where they host couples tournaments or other men or senior men tournaments, Levi was known to all the hosts, as he was as competitive as you will ever meet. He represented Weatherford well.
His gentle demeanor made him stand among others. To say the least, that gentle smile and personality gave many a false sense of security on the golf course in a golf match, only to get beat when you least expected because he never gave up and fought to the last stroke.
We will miss Levi and Cathy coming together to play and often place in their flight. We are sad that he won't be here any more on the course, but we are happy that we got to meet him.
Thank you Cathy for accepting our invitation to host the horserace to remember and celebrate Levi among golfing friends who traveled with you two to other places to enjoy this wonderful game.
