Golden Horseshoe chapter opens LO golf tournament season
The Golden Horseshoe Chapter held its second annual golf tournament on one of the hottest days of the year, June 24th.
The event is the first of eight golf tournaments organized by LO chapters this year. The LO golf season’s inaugural tournament was held at the Willow Valley Golf Course in Mount Hope. Nearly 140 golfers braved the heat that hovered around 30 degrees.
The winning foursome was the Silent Impressions, with team members, Lance Callbeck, Jamie Carmen, Geoff Milliar and Sean Barridge. Greg Asmussen from Envirobond won the longest drive competition and received a deluxe pool cleaner and a day to drive around in a BMW. Steve Macartney of Raintree Irrigation won the draw for $100 gift certificate from Landscape Safety.
Winner of the putting green challenge was Rui Carvalho from Cap Brick. He sunk three consecutive five-point holes to give him the maximum score of 15. Fellow golfers say he never made a good putt all day long on the golf course, but he made it happen when it really counted, resulting in him winning a Yamaha home theatre package sponsored by Hamilton Builders Supply.
Golden Horseshoe golf tournament organizers thank the sponsors for the generous donations that made the day a great success:
lunch sponsor, Permacon; dinner sponsor, Hamilton Sod – Greenhorizons Group; premium sponsors, Bobcat of Hamilton, Budd’s Automotive (Hamilton),Commander Industries, Landscape Ontario Green for Life, Lawlor Safety and Windmill Power Equipment; putting green sponsor, Hamilton Builders Supply; equipment sponsors, Grand River Brick and Stone and Eloquip/Sheehan’s Truck Centre; hole-in-one sponsors, Limestone Trail, Agraturf and Landscape Safety; hole sponsors, A.
