There were speeches that brought many to tears.
There was high level fundraising once again.
And of course, there was golf. Very enjoyable golf.
The fourth annual Coaches vs. Cancer Team Scramble — co-hosted by Middleton and Waunakee — took place Aug. 25 at Maple Bluff Country Club.
Bay Port won the 24-team tournament, shooting a sensational 17-under-par 57. Middleton was second with a 59, while Tomah was third (62) and both Sussex Hamilton and DeForest tied for fourth (65).
The golf itself, though, was secondary.
Once again, the fundraising was the story as the teams combined to raise nearly $50,000 for the American Cancer Society. Middleton led the way raising $10,007.
“The girls truly enjoyed their day together, as they normally don’t get the chance to all golf in one group and play a scramble,” Middleton coach Becky Halverson said. “The day reminded us that this event is about so much more than golf.”
