Look out Tiger!

September 8, 2006 — Tracy Ann Raef

Tiger Woods' best round of golf is a 63, but the AASV championship team blew through 18 holes in 62 (9 under par) during the AASV Foundation golf outing held Aug. 22, at the Ames (Iowa) Golf and Country Club.

Members of the champion team were: Tom Wetzell, Dave Iverson, Dave Bomgaars, and Clayton Tolbert. Wetzell's team - hosted by Intervet - bested the AVMA-PLIT team of Rod Johnson, Scott Ammer, Angelo Frieri, and Mike McMahon in a tiebreaker. “The AASV golf outing is a great event,” said Wetzell. “I appreciate the sponsors and organizers who make it possible to hold the outing each year and encourage more people to play. Win or lose – it’s a lot of fun.” While the champion team obviously was having a good day on the course, members of the last-place team (John Kolb, Wes Johnson, Tom Burkgren; and Joey Kimpston-Burkgren) also enjoyed their day on the course.

Individual prizes were awarded to the following golfers:

Dan Fedders - Longest drive (Holes 6 and 13)
Barry Kerkaert and Jeff Kaisand - Closest to the pin (Holes 3 and 12)
Steve Bauer - Longest Putt

The outing would not have been possible without the financial support of the official sponsors: Boehringer Ingelheim, Elanco, IVESCO, Pfizer and Schering-Plough! Thank you all for your sponsorship in this event and throughout the year!
