Elks Lodge No. 1355 hosted the golf tournament in July at the Boiling Springs Golf Course. The event is a fundraiser for the lodge's annual rodeo, Elks Rodeo Chairman Neal Day said.

One of the volunteers stripped naked as part of a putting green challenge, though she was not asked to do so, Day said. He said the woman was recruited to help at the last minute after a longtime volunteer couldn't attend.

“Obviously, we didn't know what was going to happen,” said Day, who was not at the tournament.

“This is obviously not a normal occurrence. We've never had this happen.”

City leaders are upset, Woodward City Manager Alan Riffel said.

“I was offended,” Riffel said. “The city commissioners were offended. The community was offended. That has been conveyed to the golf course operator and to the Elks.”

The city of Woodward took over the golf course in October, Riffel said. Repairs were made to the course, which reopened in April.
