Water Quality Open 2006

We were back at Quarry Oaks again this year, located along the banks of the Platte River, for the 2006 Water Quality Open. NEBCO, owner of the course, agreed to provide a sponsorship, marketing assistance, teams, and other help for the next three years in exchange for us holding the tourney at their facility. This arrangement worked very well for us this year and I expect that will continue for the next two. Quarry Oaks employs a number of conservation practices and exemplifies how to fit a recreational amenity into the existing natural landscape, rather than tearing up the landscape to fit the development. The Water Quality Open allows us to educate attendees on water resources issues while having a great time. We always say that it’s so much fun, you won’t know you’re learning. Over 136 players made up 34 teams this year making for a competitive, yet enjoyable atmosphere. We had 8 demos and as many trivia signs on various holes. We also added some awards for those who participated in the educational activities and we threw in some twists with requirements to use a rope–handled putter and a second–hand driver on special holes. Overall we had a lot of great comments on the educational displays and contiue to get great support from all of our partners and donors.
