The FordDirect Cares Charity Golf Outing on Sept. 9 was a success, as clear weather prevailed and a beautiful setting at the Inn at St. John's in Plymouth, Mich. set the stage for more than 155 golfers and 14 event sponsors. While the final tally is still being calculated, the outing is expected to have generated more than $29,000 total that will be split between the two charity beneficiaries, The Drew Crew and Teen HYPE.

The FordDirect finance foursome was on the money, winning the award for best team at 17 under par. Team members were Nick Jason, Zach Lemerand, Ron Lenders, and Joseph Robach.
