Golfers Brave Cold at 2004 TPA Golf Tournament
by Maureen Talarico
Brave and hearty souls turned
out for the Annual TPA Golf
Tournament at Wolfridge Golf
Course in Angora on June 18.
With the temperature hovering in
the low 40s and on and off rain,
teams took to the course bundled
up in as many layers of clothing as
possible. While the weather
prevented the course from being
full, Wolfridge did a very
successful business selling longsleeve
sweatshirts and wind jackets
to the tournament players.
After 18 holes, the winning team
for 2004 is Bill Dupont , Kevin
Knaeble, and Dale Erickson. In
second came John Koski and Nik
Rajala. And in a tie for third were
Jay Eystad and Sean Petty and the
team of Mike Warren and Todd
Figgins.
Proximity winners included:
Long Drive: Tim O’Hara; Long
Putt: Wayne Brandt; Long Putt: Nik
Rajala; Closest to Pin: Jay Eystad.
The Minnesota Timber Producers
Association would also like to
thank the following for donating
generous door prizes: Potlatch;
Boise; Fryberger, Buchanan, Smith,
and Frederick; Lumbermen’s
Underwriting Alliance; Nortrax;
Wells Fargo; Stora Enso; Sappi; and
Wolfridge Golf Course.
TPA would also like to thank
Bergstrom Wood Products and
Wolfridge Golf Course for
providing refreshments and snacks
for the golfers.
One of many beautiful views at Wolfridge.
Fabulous door prizes, like this jacket, warmed the group.
