The 2023 KBA Golf Classic was a smashing success thanks to our sponsors and all of the participants. Sand Creek Station in Newton was the site of this annual event, and the course was in perfect condition, with near-perfect weather. This tournament is now a fundraiser for the Kansas Bankers Educational Foundation (KBEF), and we are happy to report that over $15,000 was raised! A special thank you to all of our sponsors, especially Security First Title, for the wonderful breakfast and excellent barbecue lunch.
