Rotary Group Fellowship
 
A group of Rotarians enjoyed a beautiful day at The Ferns golf course on Monday August 28. Thank you to John Thompson for organizing and picking a beautiful warm sunny day for the event, at a very challenging course. The group enjoyed food and refreshments at Pike Lake following the golf. Thank you to Brenda and John for hosting. John gave the group a pontoon cruise ride on Pike Lake. It was a great way to relax after a round of golf.
 
Mac was playing from the blues and he learned very quickly to keep the ball straight.
 
Congratulations to Alex, a first time golfer! He picked a great course to start his golfing career.
 
The course was in a beautiful setting with lots of mature trees. So mature that our Rotary club is considering doing a fundraiser to support the purchase of several chainsaws the maintenance crew could make use of! lol..
 
 
 
 
Great form Todd!
 
We seemed to loose Kelly often into the bushes! But as we would find out he was collecting balls to give for charity.
 
What a great way to end the day!
Thanks John for the boat tour.
