Valley View Farms Golf Course – August 18th, 2018
Hemlock, MI - The Hemlock High School boys’ and girls’ basketball programs hosted their annual golf outing at Valley View Farms Golf Course in Saginaw. The event was a success as 31 teams (124 golfers) enjoyed some golf, perfect weather, and fellowship throughout the day. The teams at the outing consisted of former players, coaches, community members and alumni, parents, and relatives. The participants ranged from avid golfers to hackers just trying to enjoy a day out while supporting the basketball programs. Not only was a great time had by all, but the outing was the most profitable basketball golf outings ever.
The winning team Valley View owner Mike Mueller and his team, Todd Massa, Craig Wilsey and Steve Zolinski shot a 15 under par score of 57. Second place went to Bob Fiting, Brandon Fiting, Tony Warner, and Zach Turner who carded a 13 under score of 59. Greg Gorsline Jr. was the winner of the longest drive contest for the men while Vicky Ryder won the same honor for the women. Brandon Fiting won the award for the closest to the pin. Curt Mielke was the winner of the Turner Concrete cornhole challenge. Steve Zolinski won the “Hit the Green” challenge and Jeremy Buxman won the “Putting Contest.”
Thanks to the many sponsors and participants, the boys’ and girls’ basketball programs were able to raise funds necessary to enhance the experience of playing basketball at Hemlock High School. The money will be used for basketball supplies, team camp entry fees, training equipment, team apparel for the 2018-2019 season, and additional expenses for team functions.
We would like to thank all of the golfers who participated in the outing as well as the players, coaches, and volunteers who helped to run and organize the outing. In addition, we’d like to give a special thank you to the sponsors and prize contributors who made it possible to run a successful outing. My special thanks to Craig Wilsey and Curt Mielke for their generosity in donating winnings back to the basketball programs!
