“There isn’t a tournament out there like this one, it is just a day of women getting together to have fun and share a lot of laughter. It isn’t about competing or winning, though that was a really fun surprise!” said Allie Prell, Women & Girls Fund board member and avid golfer. The contests saw a lot of action with Alice Ryan making the Longest Drive on #7, Janet Larson with Closest to the Pin on #4, and Kari Rider with Closest to the Pin on #8. “So close, yet so far,” said event marketing chair and former Women & Girls Fund board president, Talli Oxnam, about Kari Rider’s near-Hole in One hit from the 8th tee that stopped on the edge of the hole, one of the Closest to the Pin contest holes.“We all jumped for joy but even that didn’t knock the ball in – – it was a fantastic nonetheless!”
The biggest win of the day, however, goes to the Women & Girls Fund. With a record-breaking number of participants and sponsors, net proceeds reached a new high of $15,700.
