2nd ANNUAL SECTION MEDIA DAY A SUCCESS
Section Media Day Media Day winners Gregg Wong (retired) and Joe O’Brien from Minneapolis Golf Club
The Section hosted its annual media day Wednesday, April 23rd at Somerset Country Club with 18 members of the media joining our PGA Professionals in the second annual challenge Cup. The print/radio, led by Captain Dan "Common Man" Cole, won the team event 5 to 4 over the television/retired media team led by Ed Heil of StoryTeller Media and Communications to even the series at one.

In the individual team competition retired Pioneer Press writer Gregg Wong paired with Joe O’Brien of Minneapolis Golf Club to shot a 70 and win by a shot. Finishing second at 71 was the team of Pioneer Press writer Tad Reeve and Don Berry of Edinburgh USA Golf Club. Tied for third at 72 were the teams of KFAN-radio personality Dan Cole and Kathy Swanson of Minneapolis GC and last year’s winner Kare-11 television reporter Scott Seroka and Dan Simpson of Minneapolis GC.
