Golfing FORE Kids!
Heavy rains poured on the day before Camp Luther’s 13th Annual Golf Challenge in Rhinelander, delaying the start time for one hour to allow the Northwoods Golf Course to dry out. With an extra hour of rest golfers came ready to play on a beautiful 70° sunny day!
With 15 teams competing for multiple awards in the Competitor and Hackers Division it was game on! For the first time in many years the Volm Team edged out the Strasser Team by one stroke in the Competitor Division. Tim Strasser made up for the loss by winning the Longest Putt on #7. MCL Team 3 took the honors in the Hackers Division by four strokes. Meanwhile, members from MCL and BayTek Teams dominated the Hacker Awards with Terry Hansteadt winning the Most Balls in the Water Honor and Todd Louthain and Carl Treankler tying for Most Lost Balls, with Jane Hunter breaking up the monopoly by winning the Least Used Tee Shot. John Zimdars showed everyone how to hole-in-one the Closest Chip Shot, while Nate Reichle brought in the Long Drive in the Fairway and Josh Wergin got the Long Putt on #18. And who knew what golfing finesse Dave Karolus possessed? Dave was the big winner of the Putting Contest, while Carl Treankler made up for losing the most lost balls by sinking one in for second place. Congratulations to all our winners!
While everyone enjoyed a great meal, golfers heard from a Camp Luther counselor and camper on how Camp Luther has impacted them both personally and professionally. The event then moved on to the gift basket drawing with nine baskets loaded with items such as a handmade quilt, specialty coffees, a week away for two, and many more enticing items that had been donated by area businesses and staff members. Camp Luther is forever grateful to all those who donated items for the baskets and helped support the golf outing, especially:
