Family quartet captures Rotary tournament win

Posted

Casey Hoffmann had a pair of reasons to celebrate on Sept. 11.


First, the Montgomery City resident got to play with his father, Art, and two of his brothers, Kori and Kale, at the 31st Annual Montgomery County Rotary Golf Tournament at the Montgomery County Golf Club. Then, he helped his team win the championship flight on a scorecard playoff.


“It was a blast,” Hoffmann said. “The weather was good. It was good for all four of us to get together and play golf together.”


The team of Casey, Kori, Kale and Art Hoffmann finished with a 58 and won a $500 prize. The Hoffmanns donated their money back to the Rotary.


Casey Hoffmann said it was the first time in quite a while that all of the Hoffmanns got together and played at the Rotary tournament.


“Eight to 10 years ago, we used to get in quite a few of them,” he said. “But we got spread out all over the state. We finally got a weekend where we can get together and do it.”


Hoffmann grew up with his brothers in Montgomery City. Kale, who played golf at Montgomery County High School, now lives in Kansas City. Kori, the oldest of the three, lives in Maryville.


The Rotary tournament started in 1990. Proceeds from the event will help benefit the Montgomery County Senior Center and students in the Montgomery County area.


“I know it’s a big help to the community for the kids,” Hoffmann said. “We all benefitted in some way or another, so it’s nice to give back a little bit.”


Hoffmann also won a closest to the pin award at the tournament and earned $50. His drive was three feet, four inches to the pin at the No. 5 hole.


“It was kind of a shocker because I haven’t swung a golf club in a month and a half and that was my first swing,” said Hoffmann, who works at Ameren in Bowling Green. “It was pretty exciting.”


Alerie Bredt won the longest putt award and received $50. Her putt at the No. 9 hole was 32 feet, 8½ inches long.


The team of Dan Robb, Kyle Smith, Ed Orr and Jim Orr finished second to the Hoffmanns with a 58 in the championship flight.


The team of Brad, Dick and Jeff Arens and Paul Flake finished first in the A-flight with 63. Stan Reagan, Matt Owens, Jason See and Landall Wessell placed second with a 64.


Darren Schmidt, Ed McCormack, Jerry Wurtz and Curt Moore won the B-flight on a scorecard playoff. The team shot a 66.


The team of David Dowling, Adam Dowling, Dennis Benney and Kevin Duncan came in second with a 66.
