When Your CEO’s Golf Ball Has Other Plans… ⛳💥😂

You know it’s a successful charity golf tournament when even the CEO becomes part of the entertainment.

Just for grins at the Lutheran Homes of South Carolina Foundation Charity Golf Tournament, our CEO Frank Shepke stepped up for a big drive… only to discover his golf ball had been swapped with an exploding golf ball! The reaction was priceless — and honestly, it’s always good to hear CEOs laugh that hard. The laughter is also from Ernest Beck, our Lutheran Homes of South Carolina Foundation CEO.

More importantly, the day helped raise funds to support residents at Franke at Seaside and the compassionate care provided for Lutheran Hospice patients.

Good people. Great cause. Explosive golf skills. 💙💚
