Sign up for golf!

Sign up now for the Central Plains Dairy Best Ball Golf Tourneys. All skill levels are welcome. One tourney will be held at Orange City, Iowa, July 29. The other will be at Dell Rapids, S.D., Aug. 4. Lots of prizes and fun are planned for both. Lunch beginning at 11 a.m.  Shotgun start at noon. There will be steak suppers at the end of both events.

 

Industry members, be sure to invite some of your customers to spend the afternoon playing golf with you! It’s a great networking opportunity and a chance to relax away from the dairy.

 

If you don’t have a group to golf with, we can pair you up.  

Cost is $80 per person. Space is limited. To reserve your spot, call Kathy at 218-236-8420 or email her at kathy@centralplainsdairy.com.
