(UPDATED) Golfers Tee Off for Jablonski

Warm weather allowed golfers to hit the links in January for "Jabs."

A charity golf tournament drew more than 100 golfers Tuesday in an effort to raise money for the Jack Jablonski Fund.

The event was held at the CreeksBend Golf Course in New Prague. Hosted by twincitiesgolf.com, it was the first January tournament held outdoors in the 15-year history of the website. Golfers paid $20 each, with half of the proceeds going to the fund. You can see photos of the event on twincitiesgolf.com's Facebook page.

There was also a silent auction that raised money for "Jabs."
