On Saturday, June 6th, 2011, Youth for Christ-Western IL held its 9th
Annual Golf Outing hosted by Catch-A-Star Learning Center at WIU's Harry
Mussatto golf course. We had an exciting day of golf with a hole-in-one
on Hole 12. Joe Rodeffer of Abingdon used a 4-iron to drop the 166 yard
hole-in-one which was worth a $500 Visa Gift Card. Hole 12 was sponsored
by Bushnell Banking Center (a branch of Raritan State Bank). Witnessing
the hole-in-one were teammates Mark and Todd Rodeffer of Bushnell and Van
Steckleberg of Galesburg. Hole 12 was one of 3 auxiliary hole-in-one
contests in addition to the $15,000 Hole-In-One contest on Hole 17.
Special thanks to Purdum Gray and Ingledue for helping YFC organize the
Hole-In-One contests.

a light breakfast provided by Niemann’s County Market, plenty of
fellowship, complimentary beverages and snacks, and a grilled pork chop
and brat luncheon provided by Ludlum’s Food Mart. YFC Board members,
