What's new for 2020? The Atlas Cross Sport.

I was born and raised right here in Noblesville. I grew up in a home without domestic violence or assault – it wasn’t something I saw, or even heard about. But when I was introduced to Prevail of Central Indiana, I was shocked by the number of individuals who are affected by domestic violence. In 2018 alone, Prevail helped more than 4,000 clients in Hamilton County. (Nearly 80 percent of clients are women and children.) Domestic violence and abuse are hard topics to discuss, so you don’t often hear about them. But at Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville, we’re breaking the taboo and raising awareness for Prevail, an organization that helps families in Hamilton County. – Mike Bragg, GM of Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville

To help Hamilton County families affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse, you can donate the following items: • Art supplies (for children to journal and All Atlas Cross Sport models come with a touchscreen infotainment display express their emotions) with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Navigation is optional, • Bottled water (8 oz. bottles, preferably) • Individually packaged snacks as is a reconfigurable digital gauge display and SiriusXM satellite radio.

With a birdie-eagle finish . . . Noblesville's Mike O'Toole wins Indiana PGA Senior Open The Indiana PGA season has barely begun, but it is likely there won’t be a better finish to a tournament than the one Mike O’Toole had on Thursday. The Noblesville golfer was down by a couple shots with a few holes to go at the Indiana PGA Senior Open, which finished up Thursday at Purgatory Golf Club. O’Toole then surged to the top of the leaderboard with a birdie on the 17th hole and an eagle on 18, giving him his first-ever Senior Open championship. O’Toole finished with a two-day score of 71-66=137, seven under par for the event. He estimated it was the first tour- nament he had won in a few years, and it was certainly a great way to get back in the winner’s circle. O’Toole finished three shots ahead of Indianapolis’ Mi- chael Williams, who carded a 69-71=140 for the event. “I hit the ball extremely well off the tees and gave myself a lot of good oppor- tunities,” said O’Toole. “I had two three- putts on par fives that ended up being pars. Everything seemed to go my way. I got a couple of good breaks on the bun- kers and different things. Just a wonderful day of golf.” O’Toole was three under par after the 16th hole, then made his charge with the birdie on 17, his fourth of the day. He then came to 18 with a plan, and everything came through, as he got on the green in two shots and made a 20-foot putt for the eagle.
