The annual golf outing on or around July 4th
is a AMA Saint Louis Chapter tradition. This is one of those years when the
weather will challenge the heartiest of golfers. It’s 100 degrees, sunny and
clear. We have a shotgun start at noon designed to allow for a quick nine
holes. Golfers are treated to lunch when they check in and golfers are briefed
on the format – stroke play with prizes for low net, closest to the pin (#2 and
#9) and long drive (#8), but mostly the object is to have fun.
Dave Cox served as leaderboard supervisor, entering scores to the
final tally at the end. Dave also did an excellent job of acting as Master of
Ceremonies in Air Conditioned comfort of the break room after the players
completed the round. Michael Elliot of UMSL went low and might have won it all
with a round of 41 but Randy Niederer’s card shows a score of 40. Dave Cox once
again captured the long drive prize while Randy got closest to the pin on #9.
The eclectic foursome of Tom Shaughnessy, Marco Tocco, Rowdy Jones and Palie Bob Mogley should have gotten the award for best-dressed. (Those guys always look like they are tour professionals.) The University of Missouri - Saint Louis marketing club president and a group of student colleagues came out. We also saw institutional/faculty leaders Perry Drake and Michael Elliott from UMSL. Eric Rhiney represented Webster University. Chapter Leaders Dave Shogren, Nick Niehaus, Hannah Frisch, Mark Denk, Joe Maddock, Wes Morgan and others participated and/or helped with details of sponsor signage, goody bags, cart pairings and more.
AMA was especially grateful for hole sponsors Beanstalk Web Solutions, Sneller Creative, KolbeCo, Companion Kombucha, 5K Printing Solutions and U S International Foods.
