Judique's Celtic Music Golf Classic a Success
It was a bright
and perfect morning for an early round of golf. The golfers
enjoyed a lobster and crab dinner and a ceilidh the night
before with entertainment by Howie MacDonald, Dave MacIsaac,
Andrea Beaton, Glenn Graham, Kim Gillis, and Kolten
MacDonell.
Celtic Music
Golf Classic supports the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre
in Judique, and this year saw the eighth of these annual
events. Guests from as far away as Florida and came to play
golf and lend support to the fund-raising efforts.
Honourary
Chair and CBC host Linden MacIntyre performed as Master of
Ceremonies was, and tournament sponsor Tom Rankin presented
awards to First Place Winners from the Top Flite team,
Dennis Surette, Rick Gaudet, Andrew Sherman, and Pat Logan.,
with a score of 59, won by retrogression after bogeying the
last hole.
Second place was
Warren Associates team of Garth Warren, Dean Resendes, John
Martin, and Fraser Keyes who also had a score of 59, but
birdied the last hole.
Third place was
the Arc team #1 of Simon Drouin, Mark Parl, Scott Townsend
and Jim Sweeney with a score of 60, and par on the last two
holes.
The
Closest-to-the-Hole prize of a $500 Travel voucher and a
chance at a million-dollar hole in one went to Peter Clow.
The
Closest-to-the-Hole Top Flite Callaway package went to Joel
Shannon, the Straightest Drive Top Flite Callaway package
went to Lars MacDonald, the Closest-to-the-Lassie Top Flite
Callaway package went to Mick Fitt, and the Drive- ‘er-to-the-Fiddle
prize went to Mark Pearl.
The tournament
ended with four winners taking a shot at the million-dollar
hole-in-one sponsored by Lars MacDonald. On the eighteenth
green Peter Clow, Jim MacDonald, Wells Woodill, Jim Fulmore,
and Ian Neville braced themselves for the high-stakes shot
while the audience watched from the hole. But despite the
high hopes and good wishes, and a couple of good shots,
there was no new millionaire walking down the green.
The hole-in-one
prizes, a 2006 Ford Fusion sponsored by Canso Ford, and the
two $25,000 ones, did not go, and many golfers began making
plans for returning next year to try their luck again.
