Golf Classic Awards Trophies

Trophy news from Pierce County, WS

Due to the continuing success of the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation’s Southern Golf Classic held annually in Dousman, this year brought about a new northern golf trophy event for 4-H.

On June 23, the foundation held its first annual Northern Golf Classic at Kilkarney Hills Golf Club in River Falls, as a fundraiser for Wisconsin 4-H programs. The northern event, sponsored by the Wisconsin Bureau Farm Federation, raised over $10,000 for the foundation. These funds will benefit programs for the nearly 100,000 Wisconsin youth involved in 4-H activities. 4-H helps to instill leadership, citizenship and communication skills by involving youth in a variety of projects and activities.

The day began with a grilled lunch and a shotgun start for the 94 golfers who participated. Along with a silent auction, there were many events taking place on the course throughout the day, including trophies for the longest drive, longest putt and even a chance to win a car for a hole-in-one.

The trophy winning golf team included Kevin Ritscher, Chuck Rowe, Adam Schruth and Mitch Schruth. And close behind them in second place was the team including Dugan Davidson, Carl Dibucci, Cole Funk and Brady Meyer. The event was co-chaired by Jim Harsdorf and Dean Henderson, with committee members Sue Fisher, Frank Ginther, Marie Ritscher and Robert Hanson, all working hard to make the event a big success
