ORLANDO, FL – On Sat. Nov. 22, the 2003 Max Osceola Senior Memorial Golf Tournament took place at the Grand Cypress Golf Club. There were 98 golfers on the bright sunny day; the event was a Four-person Scramble Blind Draw.
Family members shared fun antidotes about Max Sr. at an awards ceremony following the tournament. Max Osceola Jr. shared how his father liked to have a good time and that golf was not about who could hit the best or who had the lowest score.
As Max Jr. put it, “He could have shot a duck, he could have shot a tree; I think there are a few people who saw him hit a couple of swines.” To Max Sr., playing golf was a time to get together and have fun.
Lawrence Osceola thanked everyone for coming out to the event and was glad that family and friends made the trip to Orlando. He hoped everyone had a good time and that the group this year was the biggest they've had since the memorial began.
Steve Osceola also thanked everyone for coming out, especially those people who had made the trip from out of state - many who may not have known Max Sr., but knew his children. They were grateful for their participation.
Steve also gave recognition to the men who worked on Max Sr’s construction crew and who came to the tournament out of remembrance of him. He again thanked everyone for coming out to the tournament and that their presence meant a lot to the family.
Mitchell Osceola wanted to thank those individuals who may not have known his dad, but played in the tournament as a sign of respect for the family. He stated it has been ten years since his father’s passing, but time does not make it easier.
"Those people in the tournament are the ones helping to keep his memory alive, because that is all the family has right now," Mitchell stated. “He did have a good time with what he did and one of the best things he did was to raise his children right. I'm glad we're here to represent him for that; his sons, daughters and grandchildren.”
Max Sr.’s bothers and sister, Dan Osceola, Jimmy Hank, and Annie Osceola Jumper, shared their memories of a brother who was independent, loyal to family, and a fun person who had a love of golf. He handed down his love for golf to a generation that has gladly taken up the sport as he had - for the fun and comradeship it generates.
Listed are the winners of the 2003 Max Osceola Senior Memorial Golf Tournament. The tournament is sponsored by Max Osceola Jr., Hollywood Council Representative.
A bit of trivia about one certain award, a revolving trophy, as told by Hollywood Recreation Director Bo Young.
“When we used to play with Max Sr., the men would tank all those long drives out there. Max would always turn around and look at them and say, ‘boy you got both cheeks into that one. So we initiated this trophy ten years ago as the Two Cheek Award,” said Young. This year's winner of the 2003 Two Cheeks Award is Charlie Cypress!
