VILLAGE PEOPLE
The Village at Apache Wells in Mesa Arizona
VAW Annual Golf Tourney 2025
The 2025 edition of the tournament was held on March 1st.
Under blue skies and mild temperatures we had 20 golfers participate
The following were the results:
Prizes are limited to one per person. As the closest to the pin and longest putts categories
in both the mens and ladies only had one name on the card, we were unable to use the second
place person as the winner so we added another category.
Low gross for the ladies and men were first time winners
Ladies low gross winner with a score of 86 went to Susie Rasmussen
Low gross for men went to Steve Patton who shot 84
The competition was fierce in this category with Greg Thompson and Jim Nielsen both
shooting 85
Closest to the pin
Ladies closest to the pin went to Donna Patton who was 26' from the pin on number 4
Men's closest went to Neil Campbell who was 12' 8.5" from the pin on 2
Longest Putt
Susie Rasmussen's 18 foot 9 inch putt was the best on number 12
Neil Cambell's 12 foot 8 inch putt on 2 took the men's honors
