The weather on Monday, September 19 was perfect for a day on the links. The Tenth Annual Central Tech Foundation Ron Vandever Memorial Golf Tournament, held at the Buffalo Rock Golf & Gun Club in Cushing, brought out 143 golfers to help raise money for the Central Tech Foundation.
SpiritBank and Premier Truck Group sponsored this year’s tournament with a great response from 42 business and community sponsors at the platinum, gold, silver and bronze levels.
