“This event has grown every year, and it’s hard to believe it’s entering its second decade” said Todd Ruedt, owner of Grounds Maintenance Services. “Our continued success and, most importantly, all the money we’ve raised for charity, is due to the thousands of people who have participated, bought sponsorships, donated auction items and volunteered to make the event run. We’re thrilled to be able to count on so many great people to support two great causes.”
The popular “Best-Dressed Golfer” contest for men and women will return, along with myriad other opportunities for participants to win prizes on and off the course.
