Seventy golfers and twenty volunteers gathered at Long Prairie Country Club for a Funnest Fun day of golfing for the 2026 Camp Lebanon Golf Scramble. Teams competed for the top three team spots and everyone engaged in individual contests like Closest to the Pin, Longest Putt, and Longest Drive. A hole-in-one on a Par 3 would have awarded the player a Scottie Cameron putter, Bushnell Rangefinder, a deluxe Yeti Cooler, or the grand prize of $20,000! While there were no holes-in-one, the possibility of the prizes created opportunities to dream and think, “What if?!”
Thank you to Kinghorn Construction and Bell Bank for their partnership in this event.
Thank you to the 20 Hole Sponsors, University of Northwestern (Beanies), Bethel University (Swag Bags and the Champions’ Gift Cards), Crown College (Pocket Tissue Packs and prizes for Closest-to-the-Pin), the Camp Lebanon Board for providing the Divot Repair Tools, VanDam Chiropractic for providing Golf Towels, Trusted Carpet Cleaners for sponsoring Longest Drive and Longest Putt contests, Rachelle (Board Member) and Chuck Kimmes for providing the Camp Lebanon blankets for the 1st and 2nd place teams, Sandy’s Donuts (from West Fargo – available at the Holiday gas station in Long Prairie) for the registration treats, all those who donated prizes or money, and all the volunteers and participants.
Praise the Lord for providing a beautiful, very warm day for golf! The laughter, cheers, and “thumbs up” throughout the day exhibited the fun being experienced by everyone. The course was beautiful, the prizes were plentiful, but the best part was the people. God brought together an amazing group of people in support of Camp Lebanon!
