MMA GOLF

Recap 2024

The MMA had a wonderful Annual Golf Event on Tuesday, July 23rd at The Wilds Golf Course in Prior Lake, MN. With 138 golfers, we had a great time networking, playing golf, and winning prizes! Thank you to all of our great sponsors who made this possible.

Although it rained a bit in the morning, everyone faced the course bravely. Thankfully, the sun came out soon, and the air warmed up. After golf, we enjoyed dinner together and then lucky winners took home raffle prizes. The winners of different games – pro drive, yellow ball, and more – also got their awards.

We had a wonderful time and look forward to seeing everyone next year! Be sure to practice in the meantime so that you can take home some awards in 2025!
