2016 Lady Elk's Invitational
The Lady Elk's Invitational took place on Thursday, July 28th, the event was delayed approximately an hour due some poor weather in the area. But, at 10:00am, the weather broke, the Olympic Rings caught fire and as the Lady's said, "Let the Games begin". The Olympic torch entered the parking lot on a chariot and we shotgun everyone on the course at 10:15am.
The format for this year's event was a four person, 2 best ball event net on the par 4's & 5's and 3 best ball event net on the par 3's. There were plenty of metals given out along with some great costumes by the following countries: Sweden, Jamaica, USA, Greece, Germany and many more. Each foursome was paired with a Country and given the opportunity to dress up, decorate their carts and become eligible for prizes if the made a gross on net birdie on their respective country hole.
The Lady Elk's committee would like to thank everyone for participating in this year's event which help raise $1,000 for Butler County's Special Olympic Program. Great Job Ladies!!!!!
