The two man has been a staple event for the Dudes of Hazards. This year they traveled to Cherokee Valley in Travlers Rest, South Carolina.
The lodging accommodations make this the ultimate Dudes hang out, as the vibes are just as high off the course as on it. The club’s restaurant is as top-notch as you can find. It makes for a great way to wrap up today.
As far as the event goes, everyone loves a little partner event someone to pick you up on the bad day and someone to celebrate your great shots. The dudes were created to have a great time playing golf with great people at memorable places. This event certainly fit the bill for that.

The 2nd Iron Man Challenge

This was a great way to start the 2024 season! The Dudes had a great day out at Pine Oaks where the course had been designed in a way that most never see a course. Between unusual teeing grounds, fairway obstacles, and greens that were protected from anything such as golf tees, pool noodles, kiddie pools, pvc pipe and pretty everything else you can think of. This event is always a fun way for the club members to gather in a relaxed event and have fun catching up with friends they haven’t seen since last season.

Proud to have JC Male as a club sponsor and our valued club member Seth Birchfield gives some of the best cuts around. Providing a great experience is JC Males top priority. They have established an excellent culture and once you go once you will keep coming back. Whether it’s Seth or any of their other barbers you will get a haircut that you will be proud of. Big thanks to their co owners Nate Wright and Seth Birchfield for believing in our golf club and look forward to continued partnership over the years to come!

Doni McCarty is the president of the Dudes of Hazard. Doni started the Dudes of Hazards for any skill level of golfer. Prioritizing an atmosphere that brought people together around a game we love. Doni works at Chick-Fila in Johnson City, TN but his passion has been with golf and brining players together. He lives in Johnson City with his wife Jamie & their dog Zoe. Since starting the DOH, Doni has been able to grow his knowledge of courses, formats, and tournament planning. Even while planning events takes a lot of time and effort, he finds the time to get out and play while working on his own game. Doni’s strength is by far putting. Which makes him a valuable asset in scramble matches. You can find Doni riding around a course during an event taking photos, interviewing people or taking celebrity shots. Doni’s love for the game is contagious and when complimented with his energy it is impossible to not have a good time!

Doni’s energy and passion for golf is contagious. He is known for being one of the most fun Dudes to play with. Especially at a nicer course where his true knowledge and love for the game come alive. Doni has a hand in every aspect of the Dudes, from starting to event plan all the way to the day of the event. He may not be able to play in many events through the season but you can count on him getting a celebrity shot in on an event day. Good times and even better energy are always something he brings to the table.

“It’s been an amazing ride since creating this club back in 2021. Seeing the club grow from eight members to just a little under 100 in this time has been a lot of fun. I’m really appreciative of all the members that we have as well as our fantastic support team who makes running this club possible. A lot of these members have turned into some of my closest friends as well even outside of golf. Through the Dudes I’ve had more memorable golf experiences then I ever could’ve imagined. I’m excited to see where this club continues to go over the coming years.”

Steven Bell is the Tournament Affairs Coordinator for the Dudes of Hazards. He joined the club in early 2023 and has been an integral part of the clubs culture and operational success. Steven works in the pro shop out at Crockett Ridge Golf Course and has used a lot of his knowledge he’s gained from working there to help better the club. he helps with determining formats, rules, parings, and day of event management. You will always find Steven with a smile on his face and making everyone that attends the events feel welcome and included. He recently graduated from Oklahoma State University before moving here to Tennessee. Even though he’s one of our younger members, people of all ages, love playing with him because of his charismatic personality.

“I’m proud to have Steven as a member of the Dudes of Hazards. He has been one of my favorite people to play golf with over the last couple years. Like many of our club members he is a pretty solid golfer, but way better person. Steven has been a big help in preparing for our event and even managing one of our sales accounts. He is a frequent attendee of our events, whether it be golf or social. if you see that you were getting paired up with Steven just prepare yourself for a good time as that’s his main reason for being out there!”
-Doni McCarty

“For myself, the Dudes of Hazards was initially a way for me to make some friends with guys after college who all shared on common interest, the game of golf. After joining I’ve realized that it has provided much more than I expected. I’ve got friends who I consider family now, I’ve been on trips I could only imagine of before joining, and also had the opportunity to meet other people with passions outside of the game. Stepping into a support team role has really helped me gain some experience for my own personal career in the Golf Industry, while also being able to help the club on a regular basis with tournaments & merchandise that we create. Overall it’s been nothing but a positive experience and I love seeing how it’s continuing to provide a chance for everyone to have a bond with each other and also let fellas release some steam from every day life.”

“As my second event with Dudes of Hazards, I couldn’t be happier I participated in the Match Play Championship at Mt Mitchell GC. As this was a smaller group and we all shared a house together, I was able to build better relationships with my fellow Dudes, both on and off the course. Between the Mountain View’s and surrounding creeks, Mt Mitchell provided the best views while going head to head against these amazing players and friends.”

“The second you walk on the course, you can feel the history and the stories that want to be told. From the club house, to the 18th green, the 1921 Donald Ross design still holds pure. Narrow fairways and small undulating greens will test anyone’s game.

I throughly enjoyed playing there in the Dudes two man championship with my partner Jeremy Beachner.”

Maureen McCarty is the Dudes of Hazards Inventory & Registration Coordinator. Maureen has been a long time supporter of the club since its beginning days. She helps maintain the clubs inventory for their merchandise and apparel. Maureen also ensures the registration process runs smoothly for the checkin at our events. She has been a staple at Dudes outings since 2022 and you can count on seeing her at most of the events you attend.

“My mom has been a huge part of the Dudes of Hazards community especially over the last year. It has been great having her at our events helping ensure they run smooth and make people feel welcome when they arrive. We have also had some excellent memories on the golf course. One of our favorites being the round we got to play with my brother at McLemore earlier this year. I look forward to her helping for many years to come.”
-Doni McCarty

“I have had the joy of helping out with the Dudes of Hazards since their 1st Isaiah 117 House Charity Tournament in 2021. I am the proud Mom of the Club Prez and I have had the opportunity to witness the hard work and long hours that has brought his vision to fruition. I am so grateful to the Dudes that are walking alongside “Doni” to coordinate this evolving and growing Golf Club. It is pure joy to help out in different areas of this club and I look forward to showing up at registration for the tournaments to be surrounded by and witness the camaraderie of fine men. Some of the things that I love most outside of the camaraderie is witnessing the pure fun they display and love of the game that they bring, regardless of their age and skill set. Being around the club feels like extended family for me and I look forward to seeing how it grows!
Keep it Classy Dudes.”
