Another big weekend of golf now in the books and the Vince’s Corner ABCD Two Day Blind Draw 4 Person Scramble had a great turnout and two days of good weather. It is a sight to behold when you drive out to the Four Winds Golf Course and see all the cars and campers sitting there with license plates from all over. What a boost of our golf course and to our community. Henry Heeg promotes a great tournament and Four Winds Pro Chad Wise makes sure it runs smoothly and Jeremy Williams has the course groomed to where it draws lot of favorable comments.

Now get ready for the next big happening at the Four Winds and that is the annual Kimball Hospital Foundation four person scramble coming up August 5. This event always attracts a large turnout as well with lots of out of town golfers coming to town along with our local entries. Cost is just $300 per team or $75 per player and this gets you 18 holes of golf, lunch and a buffet supper at the Windbreak Restaurant, a Foundation Golf Classic wind jacket, a putting contest , and numerous raffle and flag prizes. Entry deadline is July 21 so get signed up soon.

Dillon Wise had another good day on the golf course at Mitchell this past week finishing second, and just one stroke from winning with his 77 stroke round during play in the Panhandle Junior Golf Tour event. Payton Wise finished out of the top three with her round of 95 but still a good effort for the 13 year old eighth grader competing with the High School girls.

Zane Anthony, Kimball High junior to be this fall, is competing in the Nebraska Junior Amateur this week at Beemer, Nebraska. There will be two days of qualifying to advance on to additional days of play. After a very good sophomore season with a state medal winning performance, we are pulling for Zane to do well at Beemer, which by the way is north of Omaha.
