ANNUAL GOLF OUTING RESULTS

WHAT A DAY!  The Rotary Club of Canton had Chamber of Commerce weather for their 2015 golf outing on Friday, August 21.  It’s hard to say anyone was a loser between the great Old Carolina BBQ lunch and the fun that was had on the Tam O’Shanter Dales course.  However, there were winners, and those winners deserve recognition.  After the dust settled and all 75 golfers were accounted for, we had a winner:  In first place, the team led by Canton Rotarians Drew Pelger and Chris Burt, along with Derek Gordon and Roger Evans.  In second place was the team of Jeff Scott, Frank Leopold, Joe Gazzo and Mike Gazzo.  In third place was the team of Mike Rogers, Paul Klotz, Mark Klein and Steve Berry.  Closest to the pin was won by Nick Perini on hole #3 and by Vincenzo Gazzo on hole #14.  Long putt was won by F. Prasnal on the 18^th hole.  Men’s long drive was won by Derek Gordon on hole #4 and Andy Bourquin on hole #12.  Women’s long drive was won by Sarah Stromme on hole #7 and hole #16.  Finally, Derek Gordon was the winner of the putting contest.  If you see a young man cruising around Canton in a BMW convertible with a big smile on his face, it’s likely Derek.  A big thank you to Cain BMW for donating the car for a weekend.

 

In addition to all the wonderful memories that were created during the outing, we managed to raise more than $2,000 for the Club.  Much of this money was raised through the generosity of our hole sponsors.  Thank you for all your support! 

 

In closing, I realize there was a loser at this year’s golf outing, and that loser is salad.  Rotarians don’t eat salad or at least don’t eat salad at golf outings.  Every year we try to tweak the amount of food we order so we have a little bit left but not so much that we are wasteful.

 

Next year we will be ordering more banana pudding and less salad!

See you on the golf course.
