The Ada VFW Ream McElroy Post 9381 held its second annual “Tee up for a Vet” Golf Scramble at the Colonial Golfer’s Club on Saturday. It turned out to be a beautiful day as 13 teams teed off at 10 a.m.
Along with many other golfer’s games along the way, on Hole # 4, we had a competition for a hole-in-one. Tommy Tire of Ada provided a truck as the prize.
Sad to say, no one won the truck.
The team of Austin Oglesbee, Ryan Risner, Jeremy Wilson, and Troy Hunsicker won the first place prize of $300 with a round of 60.
