The 2012 Badger/Chicago/Cornbelt Golf Outing was a rousing success at Hawk’s View in Lake Geneva!

Forty-eight golfers from five states participated and spirits were high in spite of low temps and rain. The outing featured the first-ever Hack N’ Slash Par 3 Scramble, a first golfing experience for many of the participants.  After the golf, both groups met up again in the clubhouse for cocktails and networking before dinner and awards.  Hole Sponsors included Ascentives, Bock & Associates, Charleston|Orwig, DTN/Progressive Farmer, East Central Select Sires, Equity Creative, Farm Progress Companies, Grade A Strategies, Hoard’s Dairyman, Iowa Farmer Today, Morgan&Myers, The Mosaic Co., and World Dairy Expo.  The beverage cart was again sponsored by Penton Media this year.  All players received a sleeve of balls from World Dairy Expo and a Badger NAMA umbrella.  This year’s winning team was a threesome of Randy Groff, Pat Konen and Ralph Brocks.  

Plans for the Midwest NAMA Golf Challenge and Hack N’ Slash 2013 are already underway!
