This past Monday the WPGA concluded its pro-am season with the Oliphant Golf Management Pro-Am Championship. The day brought together 29 teams to enjoy the Links Course at The Golf Courses of Lawsonia.
Although the wind would provide quite the challenge, the day brought plenty of sunshine, a great playing field, and lots of camaraderie.
Coming out on top with the win was the group of Brian Brodell, Martin Bonneson, John Lukas and Nick Vangrinsven. They were able to pile up 144 points in the team net stableford contest. Their total was good enough to win by 8 points.
Earning the top spot in the low pro game was Andy Hansen of University Club of Milwaukee. He posted 49 points, which included 8 birdies. On the senior side it was John Freeman and Michael Crowley tying for first place.
A big thank you goes out to Oliphant Golf Management and The GC's of Lawsonia for putting together a great day.
