Men's Invitational attracts people from afar
Shaun Gregory
Huron Expositor
The gloomy forecast
could not stop the Men's
Invitational from its rit-
ual tournament at the
Seaforth Golf & Country
Club Last Saturday.
With overcasts on Sep-
tember 10, still nearly 70
golfers toughed out the
not -so sunny weather
and played 18 holes.
Carolanne Doig, also
known as C.A. for short
said she could not
believe the golfers were
done at 4 p.m.
"We used to wait if the
golfers were going to fin-
ish by dark," stated Doig to
the participants after their
dinner in the clubhouse.
Out of the large turnout
of golfers, the most nota-
ble were the four from
Bermuda. Doig added that
this has been a tradition
for the last four decades.
As well about eight golfers
from Ottawa Ont. com-
peted in the contest.
The prizes and winner's
trophies were stationed
waiting for the victors to
claim. Doig said the
awards and plaques are
the same from when they
first started the tourna-
ments several years back.
"Over the years, we have
never retired the trophies,
we always build a new base
on them, she said. "Even-
tually they are going to be
taller than the Stanley Cup:'
"It's kind of fun to see
the names on there of
people that are no longer
with us."

Ron Morin walked away with the Low Net Shorty Trophy. He said it has been about eight year since he had
ast played the Men's Invitational. "I forgot how special this tournament is and we'll be back next year," Morin
commented.
Kevin Bennet from Harpurhey shot a 59 to be the Commercial Hotel Trophy winner for low -gross over for the
second year in a row. "He joked with the crowd during his winning speech that "this is starting to be a habit, I
don't know, but you guys (need to) start practicing next year because I'm coming for the triple -crown."
