Unfilled divot
Adopt A Hole
Unfortunately, unfilled divots in our otherwise pristine fairway are all too common. Ignoring the parental advice that civilized families impart unto their offspring, some golfers who frequent IronOaks courses have ignored the adage, “If we make a mess, we clean it up.” That being so, Steve Engler has enlisted a cadre of selfless volunteers who have laid aside other pursuits and invested their time and energy to restore the blighted areas of our three luxurious courses on an ongoing basis.
Steve and the MOGA Golf Board would like to recognize the following persons for their hard work and dedication to the Adopt A Hole program at Oakwood during the past year: Betty Lauer, Bo Walden, Bob Green, Bob Reider, Bruce McCorkle, Chance/Christa Smith, Chuck Sloan, Cloyce Newton, Dan Bogaard, Dan Kiska, Dave Zupancic, David Levinson, Dick Deacon, Don/Sally Berreth, Earl Grosklags, Erich Tiepel, Gary Russell, Gil Hulden, Jack Cameron, Jan Skibo, Jeff Broker, Jerry Richards, Jim Czaja, Jim Ferguson, Jim/Debbie Wood, John Willenbacher, Ken Baker, Ken Gaylord, Kevin Koznick, Lee Smith, Mark Bernier, Mark Sadosky, Mark Starley, Marty Light, Pat Kerr, Pat Wilson, Peter Steichen, Randy Moe, Rich Engler, Rich Pavlak, Rick Cowley, Ron Jenks, Ron Reach, Steve Crowell, Steve Engler, Terry Proctor, Vic Russelavage, Will Hooke
