Francesville Fall Festival Annual Golf Outing
FRATCO Golf Team
Saturday, July 24th was the first annual Francesville Fall Festival Golf Outing. Held at scenic Moss Creek Golf Course and Banquet Center in rural Winamac, 14 teams met for a day of golf, fellowship and companionship. As at most golf outings, the check-in was a fun time to re-connect with fellow golfers/friends. Each team received a Bridgestone e6 golf ball, golf tees, a Fall Festival poker chip/ball marker and one raffle ticket. The opportunity to “bend the rules” was offered as teams could purchase Mulligans and/or a Yard Stick with 36” to be applied throughout the golf course to any shot that ended up near the hole.
It was a tight race for the championship as the Scott Evans team shot a 12 under 58 barely beating two teams that shot 59. The Russ Schroeder team claimed 2nd by way of a tiebreaker and the Lori Shofroth Cords team came in 3rd.
Skills challenges winners were as follows: the longest drive for women at hole 13, Alivia Kruger Howk, longest drive for men at hole 7, Lance Kruger, closest to the pin for women at hole 6, Doris Schroeder, and closest to the pin for men at hole 1, Erick Allen. Longest putt for both men and women at hole 18 was Rob Evans. Awards were presented to the winners courtesy of a generous cash donation from CJ Liquors in Francesville.
At the conclusion of golf, all participants cooled off in the banquet room with an outstanding meal of hamburgers and hotdogs, chips, salad and dessert. Awards were presented and raffle tickets drawn for the many nice prizes.
