Some red hot golf was also played, according to the scorecards turned in. There were 31 four-person teams involved as the entires were shut down at this figure with a waiting list in case anyone dropped out. Each team was made up of an A-B-C-D player with drawings held Friday and Saturday evenings for the next day play.

Four Winds Pro, Chad Wise, said, "The tournament went very well and it was fun to see so many who return every year. I want to thank Henry Heeg and the entire Heeg family for sponsoring this tournament on an annual basis, and I want to thank Jeremy Williams and his crew for having the course in such awesome condition." The Chamber of Commerce and the Kimball businesses should also thank Henry, as it brought many out-of-town golfers to Kimball. The parking lots at both the Four Winds and the Windbreak restaurant were full of vehicles and also campers who spent a couple of nights, plus those who were at the local motels.
