Katherine Holmes and Blakesly Warren have developed a wager for every time they play at Chattanooga Golf and Country Club.
The loser has to clean the winner's clubs.
There will be even bigger bragging rights on the line this week in the Tennessee Women's Amateur Championship, which begins today at CGCC.
"I'm really excited for this week because it's my home course, but I never really get to play in any tournaments here," said Warren, who prepped at Baylor and just completed her freshman year at the University of Tennessee. "It's going to be a lot of fun to play in a tournament setting. The course is playing shorter than I normally play, probably for a little risk-reward."
The field is filled with college and high school players from across the state and enough golfers with Chattanooga ties to fill a weekday morning low-ball competition.
One of them will be the new state champion.
Defending champion Emily McLennan, who will be a senior at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga this year, has chosen to play in the Judson Invitational - an elite tournament filled with the best college golfers from across the country. Kendall Martindale, last year's runner-up and a two-time champion who recently finished her senior season at Vanderbilt, has another tournament.
"That is probably a stronger field for her World Amateur ranking," said UTC coach Colette Murray, who is competing this year against two of her other players. "It's a shame that Emily couldn't be here to defend her title. But hopefully Megan (Woods) or Sarah (Dolmovich) can do that and represent UTC."
Other former Chattanooga prep standouts looking to win this Tennessee Golf Association tournament include Katie Bishop, Jenna Burris, Jessica Cathey, Samantha Griffith, Teleri Hughes, Lauren Johnson, Anna Pope and Kaitlyn Sneed.
"It's flown by and I can't believe that I'm going to be a senior," said Cathey, a former Soddy-Daisy star who now plays at Austin Peay. I'm very excited, getting to play in Chattanooga and sleep in my own bed."
But it's not exactly a home tournament for her. She played CGCC for just the second time ever on Sunday afternoon.
"I see most of these girls at a few college tournaments, so seeing them in the summer is fun," Cathey said. "The course is like it's brand new to me because some of them are members.
"It will be interesting to see how they play on it against us newbies."
The course will play approximately 6,000 yards for championship field competitors and approximately 5,400 yards for others. All competitors - even those in flighted divisions - will play 36 holes of stroke play to determine the match-play field. Only the low 32 in the championship field make match play; outside of the championship field, following stroke play, golfers will be cut into groups of eight for match play.
"My tournament last week put me in a match-play frame of mind," Burris said. "I'll have the same mindset this week."
