What an excellent day of Golf we had last Friday! The weather was beautiful, the golf was fun, and many of the hole sponsors did an excellent job of running games, give-a-ways, and challenges.  Our big winner of the new "Crowd Pleaser" Award was Farmers Savings Bank & Trust on hole #1 with their hot wing give-a-way and raffle prizes!  This was a big hit and we look forward to seeing sponsors take on the reigning champions as a challenge to "one-up" FSB next year!
 
We had some great scores this year with the big winners scoring a 28 for the day!  We actually had a tie for this prize, so both Teams of: Luze, Wiedemann, Mann and Murray, Davis, Patterson came away as big winners with Peterson, Anderson, Lyons taking home 3rd place in the Championship flight! The top 3 in each flight took home prizes in Vinton Value Dollars.
