LeDoux Memorial Golf Tourney a Success

The 4th Annual Chris LeDoux Spurs and Spikes Memorial Golf Tournament, founded by Jerrie Bennett, Pam Kinchen, and LeDoux’s wife Peggy, raised over $30,000 for the Chris LeDoux Memorial Foundation. Held at the Powder Horn Golf Club in Sheriden, WY, 36 teams participated in the two-day event that included a practice round, BBQ, auction and live entertainment. RCA Records artist and longtime golfer Jake Owen made the trip to Wyoming to place in the tournament.

All of the money raised goes directly to the Chris LeDoux Memorial Foundation which goes to benefit various charities that were important to the LeDoux family such as the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund.

Tom Balding, a local bit and spur craftsman, created the first place trophies for the tournament. Each year Balding designs an original pair of silver spurs with the tournament name on each spur and the competition heats up quickly with a chance to take home one of these prized handmade silver spurs.
