Leading the field with a score of 58, was the team sponsored by Skyy Spirits. (L-R) Mike McNally (Republic National Distributing Co.), John Linette ( Republic National Distributing Co.), Lauren Henderson (Skyy Spirits), Mike Goss (Republic National Distributing Co.). A highlight of the 2008 Metro DC WAABI Tournament was the $100,000 prize offered for a hole in one on hole #7. The contest, sponsored by Diageo, has been a feature of the DC WAABI tournament for several years, especially since the prize was won by a lucky golfer in 2005!
Metro DC WAABI will use the money raised at the tournament to support Sky Ranch Foundation, The Seed Foundation and the House of Ruth.
