The weather held. There were no golf cart “incidents”. The nudity was almost non-existent. I would call that a successful Golf Outing. Here’s a brief recap…One of the teams from BVK took the title of Best Best Ball foursome, consisting of Rich Kohnke, Mike Holicek, Ross Lowinske and Mitch Markussen. Consider it your official “Welcome Back To The Market”, Mitch. A close second was the other BVK team, which included Seth Gordon, Gary Mueller, Mike Scalise and Ryan Smith. Raffle prizes were plentiful, including, but not limited to: stays at The Iron Horse and Chula Vista Resort; golf packages; Noah’s Ark passes; Wisconsin Dells Gift Card; Brewers tickets; and the grand prize of a Trek Bike from our friends at Trek, which went to Chris Bishop. I can’t recall who won the longest putts, drives and closest to pin, an afternoon of drinking free Horny Goat Beers might be to blame. Perhaps you too have a foggy memory of the day’s events. Take a look at the photos Nick Collura captured, they should help clear things up.
Thanks again to all our golfers, sponsors and prize donators. We couldn’t have had the fun without you. We also wouldn’t have been able to try to hit a rep with our drives, enjoy an ice cream craft service table, goof in a photo booth, indulge in carrots and Gatorade, and be mesmerized by belly dancers. Thanks again!
I am embarrassed to say I missed one important “thank you” the evening of the Outing–but hopefully I can make up for it here to a larger audience. Very special thanks to Heidi Sterricker for all her work putting this together. It is far from easy and extremely frustrating at times, but she always presses on with a great attitude making sure everyone enjoys themselves. As I mentioned to a member who emailed us regarding the Outing and its success, we’re extremely lucky to have her not only as our director, but also in this market in general. Thank you, Heidi. I’m looking forward to working with you on the 99!
