10 Minnesota ladies turned out for the Ladies Night Out tournament this weekend at Life Time 98th in Bloomington. For this event, ladies pay a discounted rate of only $10 per division (70% discount if 2 events are played!) and are automatically entered into a raffle for Life Time gift cards! Raffle winners were Lori Southwick ($75 gift card), Cindy Hoops ($50 gift card), and Meaghan Lieburn ($25 gift card).
| Nick Arntz of ReMax Results sponsored a Junior fundraising event in which players were challenged to lob serve a racquetball into a bucket to win. The winner of this bucket challenge was James Ford, shown here holding up his prize. Congrats, James! Special thanks to Page Kern for her generous donation, and to Beast Made Clothing & Apparel! Over $100 was raised for the Minnesota Juniors fund. Be sure to keep your skills sharp as more Junior challenge events come out at upcoming tournaments. |  |
