WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. — “I don’t let birdies and pars get in the way of having a good time.” – Angelo Spagnolo

Sure, the guy who said that infamously shot a 66 on the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass.

But there’s some certain truth within that notion which more than 200 people subscribed to yesterday: a great time on the course is made even better with great company.

More than 200 people played in WTBA’s Annual Golf Outing at Trappers Turn Golf Club in Wisconsin Dells.  A brief rainstorm paused play in the mid-afternoon, but the sun returned allowing the fantastic event to continue.

A Dream Team of Paul Minneti, Theo Taylor, Elise Nelson, and Thor Wick took home the top prize, shooting 14-under.

There were also a number of flag contests (winners below) as well as a pre-round putting competition sponsored by Fabick Cat.

Reynolds Construction’s 50/50 raffle generated more than $1,800.  Half of that will go to the WTBA of Tomorrow Scholarship Fund.

Thanks to everyone who played in and sponsored this great event.

We’ll share a photo gallery next week on our social media and in the Weekly Update.
