We were excited to play and sponsor this event. We sponsored multiple holes throughout the course and had the opportunity to give way some great prizes. The par 3 7^th hole, players had the chance to win a 2015 Chevy SS if they shot a hole-in-one. There were a few players got close but unfortunately we still took the Chevy SS back with us. The player who did get the closest within their group didn’t leave empty handed, that person left with an autographed hat by the Hall of Famer, Terry Labonte.

Thank you to all the players and sponsors in this event and we can’t wait until next year.

We would like to thank every active and retired military and armed forces for their services.
