Panorama Boys Shine at State Pee Wee again!

The 45th Annual Larry Crawford State Pee Wee Golf Championship was contested at the Grinnell Golf and Country Club on Monday, June 30th. The boys from Panorama shined again!

Will Babcock was crowned State Champion in the 8-year old division. This is Will's 3rd title as he was champion at age 5 in 2005 and age 7 in 2007. He finished runner-up in 2006 in the 6-year old class. Trevor Babcock earned a medal for his top 10 finish in the 10-year old division.

Kolby Shackelford placed 3rd in the 6-year old division in his first appearance at the state tournament.

Legendary hall of fame broadcaster "Frosty" Mitchell was on hand and broadcasting the championship on KGRN radio. He also awarded the boys their medals and trophies. Over 120 Pee Wee golfers [ages 12 and under] from across the state were participating in Iowa's largest and oldest Pee Wee Championship.
