On Monday June 27, 17 people from across the state gathered for the 2011 IDE Two-Person Best Ball Golf Outing at Tara Hills Golf Course in Van Horne, Iowa. Cloudy conditions gave way to bright sunny skies by mid morning. Winners of the President's Plaque were Scott and Kari Kibby of Cedar Rapids. Kari is a Thrivent Rep and this event was sponsored by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. The Kibby's are members of Zion Lutheran Church in Hiawatha. They posted a score of two under par. Runner-up honors were claimed by President Brian Saunders and Rev. Dr. Dean Rothchild. They posted a score of one under par. Winning both of the special awards this year: for longest drive and closest to the pin, was Pastor Nick Huelsman of St. John Lutheran in Victor.
