Golf Tournament a Success

Marjorie Knaub reported on last weekend's golf tournament in Big Sky:

The Big Sky Ski Team held their annual golf tournament on Saturday, May 31st at the Big Sky golf course.  The weather was on our side with a beautiful sunny day and warm, breezy temperatures.  Seven teams of four gave it their best in the scramble format.

The W Construction and Biggerstaff Construction team of Jeremy Wortman, Jared Biggerstaff, Kale Seis, and head coach Jeremy Ueland won first place with a low score of 59.  Second place was the Gallatin Riverguides team comprised of Bridget French, Graham Foster, Kris Shampeny, and Keir Gallik with a 64. Coming in a close third was the Knaub & Company sponsored team of Jeff Knaub, Zeth McAndrew, Bill Hickey and their ringer Shane Knowles with a respectable 7 under par 65.

Kristen Jenses from the Quackenbush team took home most of the special hole prizes with her longest drive and closest to the pin shots. Zeth McAndrew had the longest putt on number 9 with an amazing putt.

Thank you to our hole sponsors: Lone Mountain Sports ( 2 holes), W Construction, Quackenbush Building Company, Gallatin Riverguides, Bozeman Tree Service (Kraig & Megan Kempt), and Precision Fence (Brooks Emeny).

Thanks also to Sam and the crew at the Bunker for the great lunch, and Mark and the staff at the Big Sky Golf course for their generous support. The team raised approximately $2,000 and had a great time doing it!
