Sponsor Thank You's & Congratulations

We would like to thank Callaway Golf and Ryan Reilly for some amazing donations for the junior golfers during the summer season. 

Juniors earned points each week in league for each par and two points for birdies. These points were used to buy items at the end-of-the-season tournament. 

Congratulations to Scott Nelson who racked up 45 points.
Other top winners were Braxton Christensen, Sydni Kobayashi, RJ Beeson, and Sawyer Spackman who used his points for a new Callaway golf bag. 

We also would like to thank U-Swirl, Roaring Springs, Wahooz, & Wide World of Golf for their contributions. 

With over 40 participants in the summer season it was one of the best yet, and we are looking forward to the Fall season - starting up this Saturday. 

A large thank you goes out to all the parents of the junior golfers!!!
