Hole Spotter, Kevin Schauenberg watched golfers try their luck or skill and unfortunately no one came out as the big winner. 

Golfers were well fed during the day with muffins in the morning, smokies at lunch and a chicken or steak dinner. Harvey and his staff served a delicious meal that was enjoyed by all.

Upon registration, golfers also had the opportunity to enter the grand prize draw. Winner of the door prize sponsored by Cat Country, which was two tickets to Country Thunder was Tyler Bamford, runner up of golf passes was Larry Penner.

There was also a 50/50 with the winner, Peg Gronsdahl taking home $340. The prize parade was also very popular with many winners for the many prizes donated by local businesses. The overwhelming amount of donations from so many local businesses helped to make this annual tournament a success.
