On September 7th we hosted 88 golfers for the Fourth Annual VMAS Golf Outing at Beavercreek Golf Club. The day started on the cooler side, with golfers warming up on the driving range and securing free raffle tickets by hitting the VMAS sign posted out on the range.
Before play began, those in attendance were able to enjoy free coffee and donuts from Bill’s Donuts in Centerville. Our shotgun start began around 9 AM after a group picture by one of this year’s new additions, a drone!
Like past years, our team hit the course throughout the day to ensure golfers were stocked up on free drinks and snacks. Golfers enjoyed chips, trail mix, water, and some adult beverages throughout the day courtesy of the VMAS team. We also continued ‘PT for Par’ this year, with a LOT of teams doing some exercise to shave a stroke off their score. We loved the engagement we saw this year for this unique aspect of our outing, with the exercise of choice being left to our golfers.
Some new additions to this year’s outing included our ‘Hecklers Hole’ and live-streaming on our Facebook page. The ‘Heckler’s Hole’, sponsored by William Bower’s w/ Northwestern Mutual, introduced a new challenge to the easiest hole on the course. Our heckler ensured golfers were challenged in unique ways, with golfers able to opt-out of this challenge if they wanted by making a donation to VMAS. We caught the heckler, and a lot of pretty bad shots, on our live-streams throughout the outing. Check out our Facebook page to catch up on the live-streams you missed.
Play concluded this year with a post-play buffet provided by “Tony & Pete’s”. After their meal, our golfers were able to claim any raffle prizes they won while we awaited the final teams to conclude play for our live raffle draws. Our live raffle draws covered our bottles of Buffalo Trace, Sasarake Rye, Jameson, Freedom Whiskey, and Blanton’s. We want to thank everyone who supported our raffle packages for this year’s golf outing, with a big thanks going to Jon Adams for all his support throughout the years.
Raffle packages weren’t the only things our golfers were able to walk away with. Our end-of-play prizes included:
Best / Worst Dressed: $20 Golf Galaxy, $3 Roosters Bucks, 18-hole Gift Certificate
Worst Team Score: Case of Busch Light, One Dozen Beef Sticks
Third Place: $20 Golf Galaxy, $3 Roosters Bucks, .556 VMAS Bottle Breacher
