Lake States Hits Links For Summer Golf Outing
Members and guests of the Lake States Lumber Association (LSLA) recently convened in beautiful Lake Geneva, WI, for the association’s annual summer golf outing.
The two-day event began with a Wednesday evening Welcome Reception. Attendees were treated to a sunset boat cruise of historic Lake Geneva aboard the Lady of the Lake replica steamboat. The famous mansions and scenery along the lake’s shoreline have drawn visitors to the area for more than a century. Following the cruise, a lakeside reception at Nick’s on the Lake at Popeye’s was held.
Over 140 people attended the event hosted by: The AGL Group, Dufeck Manufacturing, Loggers Insurance Agency and Kendrick Forest Products.
On Thursday morning, 110 golfers hit the links at the challenging Como Crossings course at Hawk’s View Golf Club. The team of Ryan Peterson (Northern Hardwoods), Dave Whitens (Whitens Kiln & Lumber), Jeff Dougherty (The AGL Group), and Dallas Wirkus (Tampa International Forest Products) won the A-Flight and overall 18-hole event with a score of 11 under par. A-Flight runner up consisted of the team of John Awonohopay, Josh Besaw, Karl Peters and Jennifer Peters (Menominee Tribal Enterprises). B-Flight and C-Flight winners were also awarded, along with over 40 proximity prizes and special events winners.
Tim Schrader (Kendrick Forest Products) won the 8-person pre-golf “Baillie Group Cash Shoot-Out.” Thomas Hunt (Kendrick Forest Products) won the “U-C Coatings Putt 4 Dough.”
Over 150 members and guests attended the evening social hour sponsored by Northern Hardwoods, and an awards banquet was held at the Cove of Lake Geneva. Golf and individual hole event winners were announced, along with prize winners drawn for the Par Three Challenge and Putting Contest. In addition, the group held a special drawing for all its sponsors, held a bucket raffle to benefit LSLA Education, and gave out over 150 door prizes.
The Lake States Lumber Association was incorporated in 1983 as an association that would represent a broad cross-section of individuals and business organizations involved with the timber industry in the Great Lakes region. The association provides provocative leadership and education to assure the sustainability of forest resources, along with advocacy locally and nationally in support of the forest products industry.
