Thank you, Cooper Community, for another great tournament!
160 golfers and 30 volunteers came out to The Woodlands Country Club, Palmer Course, to support the school’s Dragon Booster Club on Monday, October 19, at the 33rd Annual John Cooper School Golf Tournament. A dinner was held after tournament play, and awards were given to the 1st Place Team on each rotation. Golfers also participated in a Putting and Chipping Contest and Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin competitions! The John Cooper School Alumni Association was proud to host 11 Cooper alumni as golfers or volunteers at this year’s event. Special thanks go out to our top sponsors, including Ace Sponsor, STRIKE, and tournament Co-Chairs Kristin Baadsgaard and Nacole Nath, and the rest of the tournament planning committee!
