Enduring the unusually muggy weather conditions, the tournament was attended by more than 140 amateur and semi-professional players, as well as prominent business leaders from within the community.
In making the announcement, tournament organizer James Buerge, accompanied by banquet co-hostess, Michelena Erickson, reining 2007 Miss Malibu, expressed his appreciation to all the players who help raise a one-day total of more than $37,500, a record amount in the tournament’s 20 year history.
Buerge Motors is a family-owned and operated business specializing in Ford, Chrysler and Jeep products, and a pioneering Westside community business in operation since 1915.
