Pork Chop Open

2021 OPC Pork Chop Open

Keeping up with its annual tradition of hitting the links supporting Ohio’s pork industry, the Ohio Pork Council hosted the 2021 Pork Chop Open on Friday, June 18 at the Windy Knoll Golf Club in Springfield, Ohio.

After the COVID-19 pandemic sent OPC’s annual event to a different location in 2020, the Pork Chop Open returned to Windy Knoll this year, where they welcomed 28 teams to the 18-hole course for a golf scramble.

Each year, funds raised at the Pork Chop Open support various collegiate scholarships while also supporting Friends of Pork, the Ohio Pork Council’s PAC fund.

Twenty-three sponsors donated towards the golf outing, and more than 110 golfers participated, representing numerous organizations across the industry.

Following the round of golf, a delicious pork chop lunch with baked beans, cheesy potatoes, and a cookie was served to all participants by Kenny and Janet Stiverson.

While the winning team received a cash prize, the Ohio Pork Council also passed out prizes to the golfer with the longest drive of the day, as well as the golfer who landed their shot closest to the selected prize holes. Congratulations again to our winners!
