🌞 What an amazing day on the course!

A huge THANK YOU to the 24 teams who came out to play and to everyone who supported this year’s Golf Scramble — especially the Motorized Unit, Divan, Aides, and Ladies 😊
We’re incredibly grateful to our generous hole sponsors who stepped up to support Nemesis Shrine Center. Your contributions truly make a difference!
The day started off with a beautiful, breezy morning and ended with absolutely perfect weather — we couldn’t have asked for better conditions! The food was excellent, and the energy was unbeatable.
⛳️ We had a hole-in-one during the putting contest, and Noble Jesse Fickiesen made an ace on the course — incredible Jesse!!
Special thanks to Scott Bibbee, our event coordinator, along with the Motorized Unit and all the amazing volunteers who helped make today’s event such a success.
So thankful for our wonderful community — your support means everything

Until next time — see you on the green! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️
