Remodelers Council Scholarship Golf TournamentWilderness Ridge Golf Course • August 3, 2012

Remodelers Council Golf Tournament Celebrates 20 Years!

by Ray DeMarIn 1992 Ken Westerhold was Chair and I was Vice Chair of the Remodelers Council. Doug Gates suggested the Remodelers have their own golf tournament, so in 1992 we held our first event. It was a two-person scramble at North Forty Golf Course. A small group of us made all the calls and did all the behind the scene work to make it happen. A couple of years later we expanded the event to a four-person scramble and we moved the outing to Crooked Creek and eventually Hi Mark, Hidden Valley and this year, Wilderness Ridge. After the first couple of events we found ourselves looking at a cash surplus so the Golf Committee suggested we use these funds for Scholarships and the “Remodelers Scholarship Golf Tournament” was formed and underway. We have come a long way in 20 years and have thankfully been able to fund many scholarships. Ken and I want to personally thank everyone who has made this event a success over the years especially - Doug Gates, HBAL office personnel, Committee members, Volunteers, Sponsors, Contributors, Golf course personnel, Golfers and everyone who has made this event the success it has been and will be for many years to come. See you all next year!
