CMB Makes a Splash

The 27th Craig Bukosky Junior Golf Open was held on March 26, at Wildflower Country Club. The annual event offered golfing opportunities to youth in 12 divisions of play for kids ages 5-18. Ninety-five golfers competed in this year’s tournament. The Bukosky Junior Golf Open provides a rich golf experience for all participants. The experience includes 9-18 holes of golf dependent on age, lunch, 1st – 3rd place awards and bags full of golf swag for all participants.

Colby Connor captured the Overall Male Winner with a score of 72. Khloe Yepez captured the Overall Female Winner with a score of 75. Connor stated at the tournament’s end, “My driver and irons were really sharp today. My putter got a little shaky on the back and that hurt my card. The walk on this course is tough and that impacted my back nine performance."

Despite not being in the tournament’s elder division, Yepez managed to post a score superior to those her senior. "My driver and wedges were really good today," stated Yepez. "A recent lesson really benefited me today." When asked about the most memorable thing about the Bukosky event, Yepez responded "The snow cones are amazing and being able to play with my sister makes it fun."

The Bukosky event continues to be a strong local event that raises funds for a great cause. Much like the after school and summer programs at Ralph Wilson Youth Club, the Bukosky event is priced at a point that makes participation reasonable for all youth of our community.
