Rain or Shine... We Golf
In spite of early morning rain and wind we had 74 dedicated golfers come out to play in our 35th annual Golf 4 Kids tournament at the beautiful North Ridge Country Club. After getting through registration and purchasing the necessities of the game (mulligans and cigars) the attendees were treated to a delightful lunch sponsored by Rotarian Ted White.
Tee off was at noon and with the stalwart players dressed for the weather, they boarded their golf carts and set out to play the game. Norm Marshall and Bob Daly kept the players warm and cozy with a good supply of hot coffee and libations. As the day progressed the rain stopped and we actually saw some sun peeking through the clouds at times. It was a little chilly with the wind gusts, but when we spoke to the players who stopped by the “Buddhist Monk Fun Hole”, manned by Heidi Hershenhouse, Heidi’s mom, George Overose, and Clayton Lee, everyone said they were having a great time & lots of fun.
It was reported that someone actually came close to the hole-in-one at the 11th hole, but not to worry, the beautiful new Acura supplied by Niello Auto Group was returned to the dealer. According to Norm, “the ball did not roll as far as one might like, but the usual sandbaggers managed to keep their score low and win for another year”.
After the day of golf, a delicious dinner was served and the raffle drawings were held in the ballroom of the Country Club. We want to thank everyone who contributed to the great raffle prizes that were donated. Also thank you to the friendly and accommodating staff at the North Ridge Country Club.
