It was a beautiful day for Swedish golf at Rolling Hills Country Club with the Annual Ole Open Golf Tournament being held on July 22, 2023. There was a Viking ship load of lively golfers for this year’s event displaying a wide variety of Swedish golf swings that only Ole and Lena could appreciate. It was not a surprise that the Bengston team was on the leader board and looking for another victory lap on the Viking ship. However; the Backer team from Randolph made a timely finish to tie the Bengston team and ultimately won the tournament in a tie breaker by carrying Lena the longest around the course. Winning team members include Austin Backer, Quin Windeshausen, Sean Gansebom and Jordan Backer.
Swedish meatballs, rye bread and a delicious meal from the RHCC staff followed the tournament. As usual, gallons of Swedish coffee and other flavored drinks made the day complete best as anyone can remember.
