848 Golf Tourney Sets Records
Brother Jeff Benge continued the Wavrusa Memorial Golf tournament.
There were a record 144 players this year. Local 848 had its annual golf
tournament on Saturday, June 7, at Golf Valley in Grand Prairie. We also had
our first female golfer ever. Tryln Taylor is the only woman to ever play in
this tournament.
The PGA just had its historic moment with Annika Sorenstan, its
first woman golfer. Now, Local 848's annual golf tournament, too, is
"co-educational." Tournament organizer Jeff Benge said, "We are
very proud to have a woman play with us." Jeff said he responded as soon
as he was asked if a woman could play, "She can play, and this is the
first time!"
