Two teams tied for first place at the annual SHH Golf Scramble.

Edmonson Voice Report:
The 2025 Santa's Helping Hands Benefit Golf Scramble helped raised thousands for local families this past Saturday at Shady Hollow Golf Club in Cub Run.

According to Mark Wardlow, SHH, Inc. co-founder and board member, the event filled up quickly after being announced and had more community support than ever before.

"Our community amazes us every year with their continued help," Wardlow said. "Our sponsors and community friends simply overwhelmed us with their support. This was a great day with very comfortable temps and plenty of good food from Dad's BBQ and Mark's Hot Dogs. It was a very competitive tournament with the top six teams being separated by only three strokes. The final scoreboard showed two teams with a score of -21."

The first of the two winning teams were made up of Granville Meredith, Greg Meredith, Dawson McDaniels, and James Rhoades, and the other team winner consisted of Logan Raymer, Kacy Clemmons, Jordan Baer, Jason Webber.

Wardlow said a record number of prizes were awarded this year, thanks to additional support, including the Mega-Prize Hole 18 Closest-to-Pin Challenge, sponsored by the Edmonson Voice.

"Over $1,000 in prizes were given away on that hole alone, which were claimed by BJ Ballance with his tee shot landing 45" from the pin."

Wardlow added, "There are too many volunteers to name all of them, but they know who they were and we truly appreciate all their help. This event kicks off our auction season and over the next seven weeks, we will be working on donations and items for our 21st Annual SHH Benefit Auction that's set for Saturday, November 1st at the Edmonson County High School gym."
