The annual CHQ Chamber Golf Tournament took place at Peek’n Peak Resort, where thirty-one teams of golfers enjoyed a sunny and pleasant day on the upper course. The winning team, representing A Automotive, consisted of Kevin Maytum, Marcus Lutgen, Kris Brown, and Bill Loomis, with an impressive score of 56.

The third-place team was Mike Bird, Todd Conklin, Jeff Keppel, and Randy Olson, representing The Post-Journal, also with a score of 61.
The tournament also featured individual competitions, with Kayla Trussalo from Falconer Power Sports winning both the Women’s Closest to the Pin and the Women’s Longest Drive. Scott Robbins of Westfield Nursery claimed the Men’s Closest to the Pin title, while Marcus Lutgen took home the Men’s Longest Drive award. Nolan Hunt from Charlie’s Auto Center was the sole player to shoot into the “Ring of Fire” and win the prize.
