Good Friends. Great Golf. Grand Cause!


On Saturday, July 14th, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, a light breeze whispered through the trees, and 147 golfers enjoyed a perfect golf day. What more could you want? Well how about the fact that over $31,000 was raised to benefit American Red Cross disaster relief! The eighth annual State Farm/Red Cross Disaster Services Open was a huge success thanks to our friends at State Farm Insurance.

Forty-nine teams enjoyed the skill-testing Ledgestone Country Club course at StoneBridge Village in Reeds Spring, Missouri. And after the final putt was sunk, golfers and their guests enjoyed a delicious meal on the patio and applauded the victorious teams. Top-of-the-line prizes were awarded in seven places of three flights to very close scoring golfers. Great sports memorabilia was scooped up at the silent auction, and one lucky raffle winner is headed to Florida for a fabulous vacation. The day ended as perfectly as it began!

Thanks once again to these generous sponsors. Because of their support, disaster services are being provided in 14 southwest Missouri counties.
