Balls were numbered and sold for a sawbuck. Whichever ball landed closest to the hole at Stony Creek Golf Course was the winner. The ball dropper was Adam Woodworth, president of the Oak Lawn Rotary Club and executive director of the Children's Museum. This year, there were two holes in one.

Proceeds from ball sales are going toward various Rotary community service projects, the main project being a new handicapped accessible playground for the Oak Lawn Park District.
This story has been updated with new information about the Oak Lawn Rotary's project for the park district. Patch originally reported that proceeds from the ball drop were going to Rotary's Interact Teen Club.

As I recall from last year, this is a fundraiser. Golf balls are sold and the people who have their ball number closest to the hole win a prize. The club raises money for various needs like homeless shelters, scholarships, and Park Lawn.
