The original day in May for the 16th annual Ladies of Charity of Knoxville Golf Tournament was wet and rainy, but the make-up date of Aug. 8 was a beautiful day for the 23 foursomes at Egwani Farms Golf Course in Rockford.
Tellico Team No. 1 was honored for its attire at the Ladies of Charity Golf Tournament. From left are Linda Ballinger, Pam Skinner, Sally Sutton, and Ruth Mullen.
Executive director Susan Unbehaun said the event set records for the number of players and sponsors and for funds raised to support the Ladies of Charity emergency-assistance programs.
Again this year, the Vinyard Flooring team of Brad Hall, Herb Harrell, Robert Wright, and Jim Wright Jr. posted the best score of the day. First place in the second flight went to the Connor
Concepts team of Mike Connor, Bo Connor, Rick Tasman, and Tom Kelly. They won gift cards to their favorite restaurant: Connors Steak & Seafood.
The “Bavarian Barbarians” team of Dave Roulier, Marty Velas, Don Naab, and Gary McMillen were repeat winners of the “Most Unusually Dressed” honors. Their effort not only featured German-themed outfits, but they also went the extra mile to decorate their carts with banners and beer mugs. Tellico Team No. 1, composed of Linda Ballinger, Pam Skinner, Sally Sutton, and Ruth Mullen, was decked out in red, white, and blue golf attire and was awarded the best-dressed prize.
Mrs. Unbehaun thanked all the sponsors who provided generous support and the more than 15 volunteers who helped make the event run smoothly. Next year’s tourney is set for May 8, 2025, again at Egwani Farms.
