The Propane Golfers Association held its 24^th annual outing June 19-21 at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, Fla., just outside Tampa.

LPGas Magazine and the Propane Golfers Association sponsor the event, founded by retired LPGas Magazine Publisher and Editor Zane Chastain and propane industry colleagues. Propane industry suppliers, producers and retailers from across the nation participate each year. The group also welcomed Chastain back after he missed the 2007 event due to health reasons.

This year golfers were limited to 36 holes when heavy rain and thunderstorms canceled play on the final day. Jimmy Wilkins of Fueling Technologies Inc. posted the lowest score over two days, firing a 163. He shot 77 at Copperhead and 86 at the Island Course.

Plans are being finalized for next year's outing, which will mark the 25th anniversary.
