An estimated $18,000 was raised during the 10th annual Missouri Veterans Home/St. James Assistance League Golf Tournament, held Monday at the St. James Golf Club.
Funds raised by the event goes for various programs of the Missouri Veterans Home, which currently serves 150 veterans who depend on service to meet their medical and psychosocial needs at the St. James facility.
There were 22, three-person scramble golf teams involved in Monday’s tournament. The field was divided into three flights.
The winner of A Flight with 11-under-par 61 was the Fairground Auto Plaza Rolla trio of Mark Wood, Jim Jones and Larry Hobbs.
The team of Ryan Melton, Derek White and Andrew Twenter shot 71 to win B Flight in a scorecard playoff.
And the C Flight was won by Team Ergo, made of of Christine LaKamp, Clint LaKamp and Tony Taylor, which shot 76 and won the title on a scorecard playoff.
Tournament director Tara Peters was very pleased with the turnover, especially with the tragic bus accident that dozens of St. James High School youths were involved in last week and the sizzling heat.
