The 5th annual Superintendents Revenge, presented by VEGA Americas, brought Halloween costumes, outrageous course challenges, and plenty of laughs to The Grizzly on October 31. From the heckling on Hole 2 to the “Lawn & Murder” scene on Hole 18, our grounds crew made sure this was a round golfers wouldn’t soon forget.
This year’s theme, Fore the Dogs, gave all that fun a special purpose: supporting the Humane Association of Warren County (HAWC).
Big Hearts, Happy Tails
Together, we raised $2,742 for HAWC!
- $2,000 from raffle ticket sales and event proceeds.
- $242 in Bark Box donations toward Poe’s ACL surgery.
- $500 contributed by Recreation Management Services.
And there’s especially good news for Poe: our golfers’ generosity helped HAWC reach its fundraising goal, and Poe will be getting his surgery! Thank you for helping this sweet boy get back on his paws.
Throughout the course and clubhouse, golfers also met the faces of adoptable dogs through signs linked to their adoption pages—giving some very good dogs a little extra help finding their people.

Thank You for Bringing the Fun
A huge thank-you to our golfers, grounds crew, golf operations team, volunteers, and HAWC partners for making this such a special day. Thank you to VEGA Americas, R.E. Middleton Construction, and everyone whose generosity helped bring The Super Revenge to life.
Our crew brought the mischief. You brought the costumes, the laughs, and the heart. We couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate our biggest event of the season.
This one was Fore the Dogs—and one for the books!
