13th Annual
Swinging for the Sisters Golf Outing 

18-LIneUp.jpg

The golf outing was held at Ruffled Feathers Golf Club in Lemont.

The Franciscan Sisters of Chicago held their 13th annual Swinging for the Sisters Golf Outing on June 15, at Ruffled Feathers Golf Club in Lemont. This year we were blessed with beautiful weather as 114 golfers came out to support the Sisters' ministries.

​

The golfers began the day with breakfast prepared by the staff at Ruffled Feathers. After breakfast they participated in a "Closest to the Hole Putting Challenge." Each golfer was given a ball with a number on it. They all then stood in a circle and putted at the same time.  Once the golf balls settled and stopped rolling (and bouncing off each other) the closest ball was picked and Father Bob Lucas was the winner. 

 

After the putting game, the golfers lined up in their golf carts to get ready to start the outing. Sister M. Francis Clare Radke gave the opening remarks and prayers and then wished the golfers good luck. The golfers then drove in their golf carts to their assigned holes. The weather was perfect all day.

 

After the outing was finished, the golfers were served lunch. The award winners for various golf contests held during the outing were announced. Adam Gregory won both the 'Longest Putt Challenge' and the 'Longest Drive Challenge' and Alec Melone won the 'Closest to the Pin Challenge'. Team Matrex won the best overall team score at the outing. A raffle was held and a split-the-pot money drawing was held. All donations received will help support the Sisters and their ministries.
