Wisconsin Golf Outings Are Fun But...

If you haven't been in a golf outing this year..my guess is that you'll be in one soon or you at least know someone that will be in 1, 6,  or 20 of them this golf season. I'm not sure if the figure is still correct, but just a few years ago, Wisconsin had the most golfers per capita than any other state. Isn't that amazing?? Wisconsin! Yeah!! And along with that comes the opportunity to golf for a good cause. It's a great vehicle for raising money. Wisconsinites love golf..so why not do something you were going to do ANYWAY and make a few bucks for charity while you're at it. Charity Golf Outings are one of the few things I can think of that really don't need a lot of dressing up. They don't need extra bells and whistles to get players to come out. A prime example is this Friday June 18th. Jerry Wunsch, who played for the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Bucs..AND who is from Wausau originally..has his chariity golf outing at Trapp River. Jerry is on a mission to raise money for kids with cancer. He brings kids to the area during the winter to snowmobile with 'em, bowl with 'em, ski with 'em...something they never get enough of when going through cancer treatments...and that's be a kid! So it's truly a no-brainer to help him out. I do all of Jerry's P.A. stuff after his outing..always a good time. AND HERE'S THE POINT..it' not changed in years. It doesn't need to. Other great outings coming soon include the LeRoy Butler outing in July and the Aspirus Women's outing in August and the "Rally for the Cure" outing in Eagle River in August as well. This year will mark my 10th year hosting and having fun with Anita Fritz and the crew at Eagle River Golf Course. Hope to see you at one of these great outings soon!
