Life is Good when You’re Golfing
Golfing with friends on a beautiful fall Sunday is one thing but, golfing for your children’s school and its goal of greater education is quite another idea. That’s why the (mostly) men folk of Mile High Academy enjoyed the day even more, the golf game was for family and the beloved school.
The Ridge, a Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course, south of Denver, was at its peak on September 27th. Since 1997, the Castle Pines’s course has received national and statewide recognition for its excellent 18 hole golf challenge and stunning views.
The 15 Mile High Foursomes who battled it out on the exquisite greens and fairways, were there to show support for the Mile High Christian Academy. Each donating time and money to be used for improving the Mile High experience for current and future students. By participating in the tournament, their golf day would provide additional opportunities for those in the community to attend the academy. The proceeds from the golf tournament will be used for the new school facility as well as scholarships and learning tools.
The tournament ended with a lunch catered by The Ridge overlooking the spectacular back nine while golfers enjoyed camaraderie and guffawks as winners picked up their awards for: Putting Contest – Rick Hale; Longest Drive – Ed Barnett; Closest to the Pin – Jeff Mautz; Foursome winner: 1st –Jeffrey Mautz, Brian Duncan, Chad Petersen, Andrew Dunbar; 2nd- Colt Easley, Reggie Ragsdale, Paul Easley; 3rd- Eric Nelson, Dave Kennedy, Craig Carr, David Martinez.
