Olive Grove Firecracker Golf Tourney 

• Thirty-nine couples competed in the Olive Grove Firecracker Golf Tournament on Friday. Despite rain predictions, the couples were able to finish the 18-hole tournament in good time.  The tournament started with a shotgun start where each team started at a different hole. Each member of the team teed off, and then the couples alternated their shots finishing with the putt into the hole.
• Jim and Heidi Ruch won the championship flight with a 78, Scott and Susan Nehls were second with a 79. Randy and Sue Stanley won the first flight with a 88 and Tom and Pat Price finished second with a 90. The second flight was won by Dennis and Joan Boyd with a 94 and Roy and Kari Pulfrey placed second with a 96. Steve and Betty Dunker won the third flight with a 100 while Mike and Terri Traxinger placed second with a 104.
• Three pin prizes were awarded following the tournament. Nicholle Schuelke had the longest putt on hole #9 for both the men and the women. Jonathon Fliehs was closest to the pin on #8 for the men, and Jackie Witlock was closest to the pin for the women on #4.
• A separate putting contest was also held on Friday. Arlys Kluess and Rich Zimney were the two finalists with Kluess being the final winner.
