Bosch & Hull House
The Charity Classic, benefiting Jane Addams Hull House Association, was held at the Mistwood Golf Club on Thursday, August 7. Bosch raised over $3,200 with just under 50 golfers participating. The outing included an 18-hole round of golf with Skill Contests, a goody bag, lunch, an appetizer dinner with a two-hour open bar.
The winning foursome-John Robertson, Kurtis Luedtke, Mary Drag and Scott Luedtke-came in 10 strokes under par.
Bosch employees had the opportunity to compete in four contests which were spread throughout the golf course. Chris Hill won the "closest to the pin" competition, Mike Jaskae won the "closest to the lake" competition, Scott Luedtke won the "longest retro drive" competition and Kurtis Luedtke won the "longest drive" competition. The Skill Contest winners had their selection of prizes such as: PowerBox, MaxFli driver, Skil Circular saw, Bosch Drill and a Velocity 2Go. Congratulations to all the winners!
