Mitchell – The 8th Muth Electric Beterans Fundraiser Two-person scramble golf tournament took place on Sunday at Lakeview Golf Course.
There were three flights in the day’s event, with John and Griffin Lile winning the championship flight with a final score of 56, finishing two strokes from Jeff Mante and Brad Bush’s second-placed team (58). Bryce and Jack Gillen finished third with a score of 63.
The first flight was won by Spencer and Rallyball teams, shooting a final score of 67 along with Alan and Jordan Miller, but won with a tiebreaker. Blake and Melissa Waddell finished third with 68.
CJ and Kelsey Carlson earned their second flight honors with a 74, finishing a one-stroke ahead of Joel Reinsh and Brandon Manchester’s second-placed team.
The fundraiser, which raised $14,000 last year, raised $16,000 this year. 40% of the revenue came after Cemetery 18 for a cement replacement, replacing the storm-damaged flag poles and went to pay for the outdoor sound system. An additional 40% of the proceeds went to the Disabled American Veterans Van Exchange Fund, replacing vans used to bring veterans from the four counties’ area to hospital appointments. Also, 20% of the proceeds will be sent to Honorary Airmail in the Midwest, with older veterans being taken to Washington, D.C. to tour federal veterans’ monuments.
