Players were also given the opportunity to try their chances with the “Trouble” Hole in One game on hole 11. On hole 2, players also could participate in the Paul Bunyon hole game; in which players move up 150’ yards from the tee box.

At the end of the tournament, door prizes were given out to several lucky golfers. The door prizes included: igloo coolers, umbrellas, ball caps, and Yeti Ramblers courtesy of SEK Financial, gift basket from Sunshine Boutique, grinder and gift bag from Heidrick’s Tru Value, and Gift Certificates to Miller Feed, The Butcher Block, and Grand Country Music Hall in Branson.

All money raised from the event goes toward the Foundation’s mission of providing quality and affordable homes for our neighbors with intellectual/developmental disabilities in the eight counties of Allen, Bourbon, Chautauqua, Elk, Greenwood, Neosho, Wilson, and Woodson.

“Without the generosity of our communities, this fun event could not have been held. Thank you to all the golfers who participated as well as to our event sponsors: corporate, hole, and in-kind. It is friends like you that allow us to provide services to our neighbors with I/DD and to help them achieve the quality of life they seek. Thank you” stated Special Projects Coordinator, Tricia Campbell.
