2010 NWS Golf Association/Central Region Golf Results
Wild Rock and Coldwater Canyon Golf Courses – Wisconsin Dells, WI
Thirty-one golfers and guests from 11 states participated in the 25th annual NWSGA/Central Region golf outing held June 14-18 at the Wilderness and Chula Vista Resorts in Wisconsin Dells, WI. The golfers played in some light rain and drizzle on Monday…and play was cut short on Tuesday when rain and lightning halted play after only 4 holes completed. Pleasant weather returned for the Wednesday through Friday golf events.
Lodging and hospitality arrangements were at a nearby Best Western Hotel. Of the 31 golfers and guests, 6 of them were participating for the first time.
About 10 golfers and guests enjoyed a pleasant 1 hour Lower Dells-Wisconsin River boat tour after golf on Wednesday evening. About 4 golfers enjoyed a golf side trip to nearby Springbrook Golf Course Thursday evening.
Part of the entry fees for the Tuesday and Wednesday Scrambles was targeted as a donation for the American Red Cross for disaster relief. At the Friday afternoon awards luncheon, Brian Hahn presented a check for $400.00 to Rachel Reichoff representing American Red Cross-Badger Chapter-Madison, WI. Since beginning donations to the Red Cross almost 5 years ago, NWS golfers have contributed nearly $2,500 to local Red Cross Chapters in cities where this outing has occurred.
