YMCA 2013 4-Person golf tourney results
The Montgomery County Family YMCA sponsored its Fall Tee 2013 Benefit Four Person Golf Tournament at the Red Oak Country Club Sept. 28.
All proceeds from the golf tournament benefit the YMCA’s 2013 Annual Campaign that helps honor the YMCA’s long lasting policy “No one is denied YMCA membership or programming opportunities due to financial limitations.”
Golf tournament proceeds assist the YMCA’s commitment to offer year round programs for community and area youth that need to be subsidized to allow as many children as possible participate in youth programming.
Forty players braved the early morning rainy, cool and windy weather conditions.
By early afternoon the weather cooperated and turned out to be a great afternoon.
Teams came from all across southwest Iowa and Nebraska to complete in the 10 team playing field. There was just one flight as some team pulled out due to the rough morning weather conditions.
Team Hooper (Red Oak, IA) won the 18 hole tournament with a team score of 62. Second place went to Team Aqua Chem (Bellevue, Neb.) also shot a 62 but lost the playoff card score to earn runner up honors. Third place went to Team Peterson (Red Oak) with a solid score of 65.
The YMCA was able to raise $5,380 through this event with the support of all the golfers, aid of the Red Oak Country Club and contributions from hole and prize sponsors.
