Cattlemen’s Ball hosts four-man scramble, 5K at Enders course

    Enders Lake Golf Course had busy mornings Friday and Saturday with Cattlemen’s Ball events taking place.
    Eighteen teams teed off at 8 a.m. MT Friday morning for the four-man scramble.
    The tournament was organized by Rusty Wellman and his wife, Wauneta-native, Dixi Travis Wellman.
    Eric Hutto, Darien Hutto, Trevor Oberg and Brian Radel of McCook took top honors.
    The Imperial team of Dustin Weiss, Josh Miller and Rusty Wellman finished second.
    With proceeds going to the Cattlemen’s Ball and cancer research, teams had a chance to open their wallets to give more.
    The first hole proved to be entertaining. Team members hit their drives from their seat in a saddle on a bale of hay.
    Teams could pay extra to tee off from the edge of the fairway on the sixth hole. If one team member could “rope a steer” the team was allowed to tee off farther down the fairway.
    Saturday morning was cool and breezy as runners lined up for the Rawhide Run 5K.
    Around 50 runners took part. Matthew Hahn of Grant won the men’s race.
    Imperial’s Michelle May won the women’s race.
