The 9th Annual RCI Christel House Open was a great success! Geoff Balloti, CEO of RCI gave a motivational speech to start the participant’s day off. The golfers then enjoyed the beautiful golf course of Prairie View Golf Club, with refreshments and snacks along the way.
Three Christel House students, the principal of Christel House Academy, and Christel DeHaan joined in on the festivities for the day. The students rode around in golf carts, said hello to golfers, and even tried putting a few shots on the greens with the players.
A longest drive, closest to the pin, and a putting contest were the main attractions for the day in which the players could participate, and there were many different prizes that were given out periodically throughout the day. Nearly 1,800 golfers teed off from 17 tournament sites spanning 6 countries this year.
