The 10th Annual HOKSBA Fellowship Golf Tournament was held at Hesston Golf Park on Saturday, April 24th. We had 88 golfers, duffers, and hackers out for this event aimed at pulling our association together. The fellowship was absolutely GREAT! It was really a wonderful day! The weather was the best we’ve ever had. After the golf, we gathered for lunch where we enjoyed good food and GREAT fellowship. Brother Jerry Elder, Senior Pastor at Riverview Baptist Church, shared a few moments with us from God’s Word.
We had lots of winners so see the HOKSBA website for winners!

Once again there were lots of door prizes, some were presented at check-in and then there were others drawn at the luncheon. Some of the door prizes drawn for at the luncheon included a round of golf for four with cart at Hesston, Derby Golf & Country Club, Reflection Ridge Golf & Country Club, and Rolling Hills Golf & Country Club; and a set of 4 tickets to the Kansas City Royals with seats in the first row behind the Royals dugout. This year the Grand Prize Door Prize was a hand-made diamond and gold cross pendant donated by Derby Jewelers. We also gave away a 2-night stay at the Warren Family, LLC Condo in a Branson, MO. All of the door prizes were donated by companies or individuals and we really appreciate their generosity. A special thanks to the committee for organizing this event – Charley Powell (Tournament Director), Ross Searl, Leo Helsel, Rick Bailey, and Bob Runyan. GREAT JOB! We plan on repeating this event again next spring – see you then.
