The 19th Annual Golf for Goodworks Tournament returned to the Turning Stone Resort’s Shenendoah Golf Course for 2026. Shenendoah offers 18 holes of PGA-level golf in a picturesque nature setting. The course complies with stringent Audubon International standards for environmental protection and preservation. Designed, constructed and maintained to TOUR standards at more than 7,000 yards, the course offers conditions normally reserved for Tour professionals.
NEAFA would like to congratulate Diamond V’s team of Mark Anderson, Zach Anderson, John Myers, and Brad Saunders on their first-place win (-11). Second Place went to Co-Operative Feed Dealers team of Eric Reid, Jeff Matuszczak, Josh Lincoln, and Marc Latini (-10), while third place went to Julie Bowman, Tim Mays, Ronald Bowman, and RJ Bowman Myers (-10). Zach Smithler was the closest to the pin at 5’, 2”, and RJ Bowman held the longest drive. The highest score (aka the Most Honest Team) went to Global Agri-Trade Corp.’s Barry Baetz, Dave Brown, Mike Liddle, and Stanley Szumigala (+11). Thank you to all who participated this year.
