First place: Doug Helmstaedter, Tom Mueller, Ryan Welsh, Ryan Balakas

Second: Margie Kerr, Steve Kerr, Tim Kerr, Eric Helmstaedter

Third: Connor Houtsma, William Houtsma, Michael Nasrallah and James

Women’s Long Drive: Erin Kerr Houtsma
Men’s Long Drive: Adam Bickford

In a win closer than Seersucker stripes, Doug Helmstaeder and his band of Creek ringers brought home the Scottie and eternal respect from all who know TKO, the 5th Major.

Yes, my team tied for second, one stroke back, powered by Margie Kerr's versatility, Eric Helmstaeder's power and Steve Kerr's strategy/accuracy. I can't help thinking if I had contributed more than my sunny outlook, we could have won.

Connor Houtsma, 16 year old, Regis High School phenom powered his team to a tie for second with his cousin Will.

Few contestants were more fired up than James Houtsma who won the closest to the pin and the new Bugatti.

The merch was a hit, may we do a follow up order.

Challenging; Raccoon Creek Golf Course is the nicest non private course in the State.

We were blessed with a mid-seventies, sunny outing, cool evening for stories around the fire with a Colorado mountain sunset backdrop, epic.
It had an old school TKO feel; maybe we will see you at TKO XLV.

Forty-one previous TKOs without a rainout, I suppose it was inevitable that it would happen.

Raccoon Creek has agreed to give a rain check for all 144 competitors.

Tournament director, Liz Kerr, will email the person that signed your group in and Raccoon Creek will have a list at the course of all rain check beneficiaries. Details will be included in the email.

Although there were some promising scores posted, we didn't finish. Prize values will double for TKO 43 and the winner's trophy "Scottie" will spend the year with Liz Kerr. It is no less work/expense to host a rainout tournament, special thanks to the Raccoon Creek staff and thank you, all, for understanding.

Any/all photos from TKO are welcome.
