The KDCF will join the Missouri Dental Foundation for a golf tournament at the Heart of America Dental Symposium at LedgeStone Championship Golf Course. Described by Golf Digest as "a masterpiece of mountain golf architecture," LedgeStone is an 18-hole championship course, offering the kind of golfing experience where "players don't want the round to end." LedgeStone's spectacular scenery and panoramic vistas of the hilly terrain, serene ponds, and lush forests bordering the Zoysia fairways and greens are enough to inspire anyone, golfer or not! Just be sure that your golf bag includes your driver, putters, and camera! The tournament will take place June 27, 2008. We hope to see you there.
