A three-hour rain delay did not keep 83 golfers from enjoying a fierce and fun day of competition at the 23rd annual Angus Foundation Golf Tournament hosted at Pleasant View Golf Course in Middleton, Wis., in conjunction with the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS).

“It is hard to bargain with Mother Nature, but after the morning rain showers, the day was a huge success,” says Jimmy Stickley, Angus Foundation donor coordinator. “The teams and players that stuck it out had a blast on and off the course. We cannot thank everyone enough for sticking with us in the morning and seeing the day through.”

The tournament welcomed 21 teams and raised more than $15,700 to support the Angus Foundation’s commitment to education, youth and research.
