We were saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Odis Williams, the longtime owner of Whippoorwill Golf Course.

Our family’s connection to Whippoorwill goes back more than 30 years. When Daddy hosted the very first tournament there in 1994, it was Mr. Odis who welcomed the idea with open arms. In fact, when Daddy suggested the course should host a tournament, Mr. Odis simply said, “Why don’t you have one?” — and a tradition was born.

That tournament became the Latta Invitational and, after Daddy’s passing in 2018, the Ed Latta Memorial Golf Tournament. Today, we still gather at Whippoorwill (now known as "The Whip") every Memorial Day and Labor Day, continuing something that means so much to our family.

We are so grateful to Mr. Odis for believing in that first tournament and for supporting it through the years. But even more than that, we will always remember his kindness.

One of the moments our family treasures most is when he came to visit Daddy in his final days and prayed with him. That meant more than words can express.

Mr. Odis leaves behind a legacy not only in the game of golf but in the lives he touched.

We’re thankful to have been one of them. ❤️🙏🏻

⛳️ Ed Latta Memorial Golf Tournament – Labor Day 2025 ⛳️

This past Monday, golfers gathered at The Whip (formerly Whippoorwill Golf Course) for the Ed Latta Memorial Golf Tournament.

Daddy started this tournament in 1993, soon after the course opened. It was the very first tournament ever held at Whippoorwill, and we’re proud to continue it in his memory twice a year—on Memorial Day and Labor Day.

What began more than 30 years ago as the first tournament at a brand-new course has grown into a lasting tradition of golf, fellowship, and family. ❤️

What a great day at The Whip for the Memorial Day edition of the Ed Latta Memorial Golf Tournament! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

Congratulations to our winning team: Tommy Latta, Dennis Lindsey, Delane Moon, and Justen Graul! 🏆

Since 1994, this tournament has brought together family and friends each Memorial Day and Labor Day—and yesterday was no exception. Ed loved this tradition, and it’s always a special time to remember him and enjoy the fellowship he valued so much. 💚

Many thanks to The Whip for their hospitality: they provided BBQ for the crowd and also golf balls for the winning team. We appreciate them so much!

Thanks to everyone who joined us to keep the legacy going strong!

We weren't sure at about 6AM this morning if we'd get the tournament in or not. But once the rain stopped around 7AM, it turned out to be a nice day for golf! After a slightly delayed start, we had a shotgun start at about 7:30. Thank you to all who braved the early morning rains to come play in the Memorial Day edition of the Ed Latta Memorial Golf Tournament! So proud to have held this tournament for 30 years!!!
