A Day of Golf, Gratitude and Giving

On Friday, September 11, 2026, golfers, sponsors, volunteers and friends of the Missouri 10-33 Benevolent Fund came together at Columbia Country Club in Columbia, Missouri, for the 26th Annual Missouri 10-33 Benevolent Fund Open Golf Tournament.

 

With morning and afternoon flights, the course was filled throughout the day with great golf, friendly competition, laughter and, most importantly, people united behind one very important purpose: supporting the families of Missouri public servants who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

 

More Than a Golf Tournament

For 26 years, the Missouri 10-33 Benevolent Fund has stood beside Missouri families during some of the most difficult days of their lives. The Fund provides immediate financial assistance following the line-of-duty death of a Missouri public servant.

 

Our tournaments are about much more than golf. Every team registration, sponsorship, donation, raffle ticket and volunteer hour helps us continue that promise to Missouri families.

 

One Purpose. One Promise. Missouri 10-33.

 

Thank You to Columbia Country Club

A tournament of this size simply does not happen without a tremendous amount of cooperation and preparation.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Columbia Country Club for hosting the 2026 Missouri 10-33 Open and helping us make the day a success.

 

A special thank-you goes to: Brett Bieske, PGA/CMAA – General Manager, Zach Herzog – Head Golf Professional, Eric Vander Linden – 1st Assistant Golf Professional, Robin Giorgione - Food & Beverage Manager

 

From preparing the course and coordinating carts to meals, beverages, scoring and all of the details behind the scenes, the Columbia Country Club staff helped make our golfers and guests feel welcome throughout the day.

 

It Takes a Team Before the Golfers Ever Tee Off

 

Long before the first golf ball was hit, volunteers and supporters were working behind the scenes—organizing teams, preparing signs, gathering prizes, assembling materials, setting up registration and making sure hundreds of details came together.

 

We especially want to recognize the people who gave their time to help us prepare and set up the tournament:

Congratulations to Our 2026 Open Champions!

 

There was plenty of friendly competition on the course. Congratulations to all of our flight winners and contest winners. And most of our teams took off before we could get some pictures of the winners – something about an MU/KU game got people off the course and into a different frame of mind.
