The Friends of Tri-Valley Foundation held a golf tournament on Saturday, August 20th at the Stone Creek Golf Course in Chanute. The weather and course made for a perfect day of golfing. Play began at 9 am with fifteen teams.




The tournament was a four-person scramble with two flights. The winners for A Flight were: 1st Place - the team from CPI Technologies consisting of Erik Crane, Josh Glover, Rob Kassing, and Derek Powell;



and 2nd Place - the team from Advanced Systems consisting of Darren Lueberring, Evan Lueberring, Noah Lueberring, and Connor Newman.

and 2nd Place - the team from K-W Contractors consisting of Dillon Wolverton, Noah Kepley, Nathan Manbeck, and Monty Manbeck.



Along with the two flights, prizes were handed out for the Longest Drive (which went to AJ Evans) and Closet to the Pin (which went to Thad Wells). Players were given the opportunity to try their chances with the “Trouble” Hole In One game. The popular Paul Bunyon hole game was also played.


Golfers’ names were entered into a drawing for door prizes donated by local businesses. The door prizes were given by Hugo’s Industrial Supply, Jackie Kinser Massage Therapy – Chanute, Opie’s Family Restaurant – Chanute, Stone Creek Golf Course, Dalton’s Back 9, and Steve Faulkner Ford.
