A warm and sunny day greeted golfers who participated in the 11th annual “Fore” Fresh Water Golf Invitational at Bidermann Golf Course on Monday, May 18, 2026. They cooled off on the course with canned aluminum water from Open Water, and some enjoyed the newest Master’s drink: The Azalea, served by Tito’s Handmade Vodka. 

Competition was fierce among the two formats: the more casual scramble best ball format and the shamble. In the end, the retention of the yellow ball (a contest where each foursome had to play the ball through all 18 holes and return to the pro for a two-shot deduction in their score) helped the winning teams across the finish line. One golfer lamented losing the yellow ball on hole 1, stating that if they had kept it, they surely would have won the tournament. 

Thank you to the many volunteers and players who make this event such a success.
