Despite a rain delay, the annual Angus Foundation Golf Tournament Occurs
The 23rd annual Angus Foundation Golf Tournament, held in Middleton, Wisconsin, raised more than $15,700 for education, youth and research.
A three-hour rain delay did not keep 83 golfers from enjoying a fierce and fun day of competition at the 23rd annual Angus Foundation Golf Tournament hosted at Pleasant View Golf Course in Middleton, Wisconsin. The event is held in conjunction with the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS), the National Junior Angus Association’s largest youth event of the year.
“It is hard to bargain with Mother Nature but after the morning rain showers, the day was a huge success,” said Jimmy Stickley, Angus Foundation donor coordinator. “The teams and players that stuck it out had a blast on and off the course. We cannot thank everyone enough for sticking with us in the morning and seeing the day through.”
