Golf Tournament 2018

The Next Stop hosted our 12th Anniversary Golf, Dinner, and Wine Event on May 7, 2018. We were fortunate to have sunny, warm weather to enjoy a full day of fun. Next Stop member Corbin McKinnon returned to open the round with a medley on this bagpipes. Visually impaired, we are always in awe of his talent and the fact that he also golfs in the tournament with his family.

Deer Creek Capital became a new sponsor this year and was probably the most popular! We thank them for providing drinks to the players on Hole #11. This “watering hole” included many drink choices and everyone who stopped to visit left “refreshed”. 🙂

Two extra contests were held on the course. Hole #5 featured a closest to the pin to win a set of Mizuno Clubs. Winner was Will Langford. Hole #8 featured a Disc-O-Bed prize giveaway. Sandy Padula was the closest to the center of the painted Disc-O-Bed logo and won the bed. The putting contest co-winners were Anthony Joseph and Brian Pierce.

A wonderful spread of appetizers, complimentary wine, and a huge silent auction greeted everyone as they finished up their rounds and entered the club house. The day continued into golf awards and dinner … and a live auction. Wayne Farms and Allied Group Paramount provided the delicious dinner-–which was prepared by Wayne Farms’ Chef Frank Jock and the Royal Lakes staff.

It was truly a memorable day of fun, camaraderie, shopping, eating, drinking, and successful fundraising.

So we want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who came out. Whether you golfed, came for dinner, volunteered, made a donation, or just had a laugh with us, we appreciate your support of The Next Stop. Hosting this event required help from so many, and we are grateful to them all. We especially thank the sponsors below for their generous contributions!
