A young golfer from Mountain Home has swept a prestigious six-event tournament series in Northwest Arkansas. Nine-year-old Charlie Barton secured first place in all six tournaments of the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation Northwest Arkansas Local Tour.
Barton kicked off the series on August 16 with a win at Bella Vista Country Club. He followed up with victories at Kingswood Golf Course, Scotsdale Golf Course, Eagle Crest Golf Course in Alma, and Highlands Golf Course in Bella Vista. He concluded the tour with a win this past weekend at Hardscrabble Country Club in Fort Smith.
The competition featured young golfers from Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Barton's undefeated performance underscored his dominance in this year’s local tour, which drew participants from across the region.
