With so many uncertainties in 2020, okPORK was excited to host our annual golf tournament.

Fifteen teams gathered at the Turkey Creek Golf Course in Hennessy to engage in fellowship, eat pork, and most importantly play golf.

The day started out cold, but it ended with lots of sunshine and laughter from everyone involved.

“We were very excited to host the okPORK Open this year after canceling so many events,” said Lloyd Hawkins, okPORK community outreach specialist. “We had a great turn out, and we can’t wait to do it again!”

All the teams gathered around the putting green for a friendly game of putting for prizes. The players shouted as the ball hit a prize that they were able to take home after the tournament.

The competition was fierce but only one team could be crowned the champion. The first-place team was Danny Wymore and the Sand Baggers. Seaboard Foods #1 came in second place and Turkey Creek followed in third.

The longest drive players were Kacy Cook and Cali Wimett. Closest to the pin was Dylan Hatchel and the Longest Putt was Steven Lott.

At the conclusion of the tournament all the players enjoyed pork burgers and drinks donated by the, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health and McSpadden & Associates.

National Pork Board donated donuts for breakfast and Robison Family Farm donated pork jerky for the players throughout the day.

This wonderful day of golf would not have been possible without the help of the generous support of our multiple sponsors:
