Rotary Club Of Edmonton Strathcona Golf Tourney and Barbecue
Our Rotary Club had our annual golf tournament on Friday August 24th.
We changed things up, and had a Texas Scramble at Coyote Crossing in Sherwood Park, played by 22 golfers. It was a taste of playing St. Andrews in Scotland on a summer day. The golf groups had a great time, spoiled by chasing a little white ball.
A fun Happy Hour and Putting Contest followed. Carin Van V was our putting contest hostess, again, doing a great job. The final 2 putters were Jim Peddie & Nicolle Germain. Jim clinched the putting contest, and donated all the proceeds to our charity of choice for the day , the Edmonton Food Bank.
The dinner for 40 friendly folks, was a lovely barbecue cuisine.
Ken & Eric Germain, the Blues Brothers, rolled out the program, highlighting the golf awards of the day.
- Longest Ladies Drive- Barb Craig
- Longest Men’s Drive- Stephan Jansen Van Vuuren
- Closest to the Pin- Carin Jansen Van Vuuren
- Longest Putt- Donna Hutton
The low score of the day was 36, par, by 2 teams. We cut cards for the gold medal, and the winning team was Dave Prince, Con Basaraba, Don Hughes, and Judy Brown. Special mention to our silver medalists, Donna Hutton, Gary Froleich, Dennis Freeman and Ellen Weber.
Best joke of the day was by Ken. Something about a hole in Juan (one). Thanks for everyone who made it out, and made it a special day!
Cheers,
Eric & Ken
