34th Annual Duffers Delight a success!

The Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce held its 34th Duffers Delight Golf Tournament on Monday, June 1st at the Alexandria Golf Club. More than 200 people gathered for a day of fun, networking, and golf, including 36 golf teams and more than 60 sponsors. The event is the main fundraiser for the Chamber, supporting its purpose to lead, connect, and collaborate for a thriving community. The tournament featured sponsors at every tee and green plus fifteen 150-yard sign sponsors spread throughout the course, closest-to-the-pin opportunity, and three hole-in-one opportunities including a $5,000 cash prize sponsored by Alomere Health, $10,000 cash prize sponsored by Glenwood State Bank and $25,000 toward a vehicle or an Alera pontoon sponsored by Juettner Motors and Boomerang Marine & Sports. Unfortunately, there were no hole-in-one winners this year. Other major sponsors include: Vaultas, Lucky One, Prairie, Windsor, Vance Thompson Vision, Old National Bank, Diamond Buick GMC, Tri County Insulation, Concrete Lifting & Painting, ProfitMax, and Marcus Construction.

A special thank you to our Title Sponsor:
