Neon golfers add a glow to Immanuel youth programs

This is the fifth season for the neon, or “all-glow,” golf at Immanuel. Mueller and the youth group set up the neon golf course twice a year, filling the church basement with challenging holes, all played using glow-in-the-dark balls, with the lights out and neon decor marking the course.

An eight-team tournament raised about $300 and gave awards for most holes-in-one and best team scores.

Look for two more tournaments in November: One for the general public and one for first responders.

Winning team in the tournament was “The Champs”: Raven Rutherford, Alex Contreras, Paul Contreras and Nick Offerman.

Second place went to “NFC North”: Brent Bergeron, Kimmie Chinook, Aiyana Bergeron and Fred Schatz.

Prizes were donated by Pho River, Grace Su China Gorge, G. Willikers, Pietros Pizza, Walmart, Hair and Nail, Hair Masters, Beneventi’s Pizza and Everybodys Brewing .

Throughout January neon golf, all players got to spin a wheel to take home a prize, and holes-in-one on the 18th hole also earned prizes and the right to wear a special crown and pose for a photo to go on the neon golf royalty board.
