Francesville Calendar of Events

FFF Golf Outing

The 2nd annual Francesville Fall Festival Golf Outing was held on Saturday, July 23rd, at Moss Creek Golf Course and Banquet Center.

Twelve teams fought the golf course and the weather as rain and lightning filled the skies during the round.  The outing got a late start and was shortened to around 14 holes due to the dangerous conditions. 

First place went to the team of Evan Kruger.  2nd place was won by Mark Hamilton's team from Vanguard Trailer in Monon.  Third place was a tie between Shelley Wuerthner's Con Agra team and the team of Ed Cain, with Con Agra claiming 3rd via the tie-breaker.

Skills winners were as follows:

Closest to hole for men #1 - Hunter Holliday
Closest to hole for women #6 - No winner
Longest drive for men #7 - Charlie Phelps
Longest drive for women #13 - Shelley Wuerthner
Longest putt - men and women #18 - Les Whitaker

All in all it was a fun day despite the weather as after the round was called, all teams enjoyed a great meal and a chance at the many valuable door prizes available to each golfer.  And one lucky golfer won the 50-50 drawing, taking home almost $200!!

Thanks to all that participated, all hole sponsors and door prize contributors, and a special thanks to those teams and individuals who donated their prize monies back to the FFF Organizing Committee.

Great job by Tony Olsen and his Moss Creek staff.  A big THANKS  for the tremendous hospitality.
