Marlinks Golf Farm Benefit supports Back to School Bash

Marlinks 9-hole Golf Farm, Wautoma, hosted their 10th annual memorial golf tournament in August to raise funds to support Waushara County’s Back to School Bash. The best ball golf scramble is held each summer in memory of Dick Bennot, Wautoma, and Patricia Koenigs, Hancock. Dick and Patricia were part of a group of friends who enjoyed playing the eighteen holes of Marlinks in rural Wautoma.  Family and friends gather each year to play golf, reminisce and donate to the Back to School Bash in memory of their friends.   Nearly 500 backpacks with school supplies were distributed to area students during the 22nd annual Back to School Bash held on Aug. 4.   The Back to School Bash is coordinated by the Waushara County Department of Human Services and is funded entirely by donations received from individuals, businesses, civic groups, and organizations from across Waushara County.  Dr. and Kathy Bennot built Marlinks Golf Farm in 1996. This 9-hole golf course is open seven days a week from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
