Annual golf tourney funds scholarships
Go Texan urges
students to apply
for scholarships.
By Sarah Acosta

Buy a $5 golf ball for a
chance to win $500 and/
or win a hole-in-one con-
test and get a $50,000
truck - all while support-
ing Bastrop County stu-
dents.
The third annual Bas-
trop County Area Go Tex-
an Golf Tournament is
set for March 29 at Lost
Pines Golf Course and
proceeds from the event
will go towards scholar-
ships for Bastrop County
seniors.
Bastrop County Area
Go Texan is a nonprof-
it organization commit-
ted to furthering the ed-
ucation of students by
awarding scholarships.
“Having put three kids
through college, I know
how expensive college
can be,” said Go Texan
chairwomen Maureen
McMullen. “Last year, we
had all this money to give
out and nobody applied.
Tell your kids to go see
their school counselors,
complete the application
and send it to us.”
The organization
raised $10,000 at the in-
augural event in 2012,
almost $15,000 at last
year’s event and their
goal for this year is to hit
$20,000.
“The tournament was
just an idea three years
ago,” McMullen said. “We
had a committee of 10
and didn’t know a thing
about golf. We put it to-
gether and it was a huge
hit.”
AMM Insurance is
the tournament spon-
sor again this year. Cir-
cle G Catering will spon-
sor a chicken-fried steak
lunch, Covert Chevro-
let will sponsor the hole-
in-one contest and T&J
Torgue and Testing will
sponsor the ever-popular
ball drop.
“We sell numbered golf
balls for $5 each and put
them in a bucket, then lift
someone up in a scissor
lift and drop them over
a hole,” she said. “First
ball in the hole wins $500
cash. It’s great!”
A live auction will be
held during lunch with
items such as a “come
and take it” flag, a cedar
swing by Bill’s Creations
in Smithville and Costa
Del Mar sunglasses.
Awards will be given
for first, second and third
place, longest drive, clos-
est to the pin, putting
contest and even some-
thing for the losing team.
Registration includes
18 holes of golf, the use of
a cart, a T-shirt, a softside
cooler bag and an event
koozie.
On the day of the
event, check-in begins at
7:45 a.m. and tee-off is
at 8:30 a.m. Entry fee is
$300 per 4-man scramble
team and $75 a person.
To register to play, send
an email request to bcagt-
golfopen@gmail.com by
March 7 to guarantee a

512-304-5845 for addition-
al information.

HANCHER, Margrit Sophie
Margit Sophie Hancher was
born of German immigrant
parents on January 30, 1925 in
Sharp, Texas. She died on Janu-
ary 10, 2014 in Bastrop, Texas.
She was preceded in death by
her parents, August Johann
Garlichs and Anna Hermine
Garlichs, her brother, Hans Gar-
lichs, her daughter, Jeannie Mc-
Quellan, and her husband, Bob
Hancher. She is survived by her
nieces, Joan Boethel of Bastrop,
Carol Sullivan of San Marcos,
and Shirley McNally of Prescott, Arizona.
Weighing one ounce less than three pounds at birth, Margit
was kept alive by her mother's love and deep faith in God. She
spoke no English when she started school in Sharp, yet she
graduated valedictorian of her class in 1943. She attended Sam
Houston State Teachers College in Huntsville, Texas for one
year before accepting a job with the Chamber of Commerce in
New Braunfels, Texas. Throughout her life Margrit worked in
numerous cities and states in the fields of community organiza-
tion, chambers of commerce, industrial development, person-
nel placement, research, advertising, and public relations.
Margrit married Bob Hancher in 1979, and they enjoyed many
years of traveling by ship to ports all over the world. Together
they took 56 cruises where they met many interesting people
and made many life-long friends. Until the time of Bob's death
in 1995, he and Margrit lived at Fun-N-Sun Resort in San Beni-
to, Texas, where she continued to live until moving to Argent
Court in Bastrop in 2007.
Margrit's family would like to thank the loving caregivers at
Argent Court, as well as loving friends, who cared for Margrit
during her last years.
