Around 100 amateur golfers and full-time fans of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command and its outgoing commanding general joined Maj. Gen. John R. O’Connor for a memorable “farewell golf scramble” held June 8 at the Woodlawn Golf Course on Ramstein Air Force Base.

Although the majority of participants were Soldiers from the 21st TSC, Family members, Department of Defense Civilians and personnel from Installation Management Europe Directorate of Emergency Services among others joined in the fun.

The tournament was hosted by the Rheinland-Pfalz Sergeant Morales Club.

“The golf scramble was a tremendous success,” said Sergeant 1st Class Marcus Mitchell, president of the Rhineland-Pfalz chapter of the club. “Not only did everyone have a terrific time, but the proceeds will go to our Sergeant Morales Club to help fund a scholarship that we will award next school year.”
A variety of area sponsors, members of regional SMC chapters and well-wishers helped facilitate the event.
