2018 WOA/ArbiterSports 12th Anniversary Summer Golf Classic Recap
The 2018 golf tournament took place once again at the beautiful Apple Tree Resort in Yakima on August 3rd. Following lunch in the air-conditioned upstairs loft of the clubhouse, 124 golfers took to the course under blue skies and temps in the high 80’s. It was an enjoyable day for all with a variety of great shots and “dubious shots” from all foursomes.
We want to thank our corporate sponsor, ArbiterSports, for their generous donation once again this year. We also receive strong support from other businesses, various boards, associations and individuals who sponsor the golf tournament. Without the support we have from all of our sponsors, we would not be able to host this event annually and continue to grow the WOA scholarship fund.
The top scoring six best teams were recognized with prizes. Individual prizes were given out for “closest to the pin” on three of the par 3’s and an individual birdie hole. There was also an award for long drive for both men and women. In addition, there was also a prize for the highest team score.
