The Lucknow Sentinel, 2014-08-20, Page 7Wednesday, August 20, 2014 • Lucknow Sentinel 7 Take a Swing at CHIP AND A PUTT Blackhorse Men's Golf Results a Guinness Book of World Record )Raise Funds and Awareness for Cystonosis Submitted The 2nd Annual Swing Shoot & Liv Golf Classic hosted by the Saugeen Shores Winterhawks in support of the Liv -A -Little Foundation is taking place September 20, 2014. As an added feature to the tour- nament we are looking to build a team or multiple teams to compete in a sanctionedGuinness World Record attempt for Fastest Round of Golf. How it works Each golfer is assigned a specific location on the course (tee, fairway, green, etc.) In a "relay" style, the ball is hit from the tee to the green as quickly as possible. When the golfer on the green holes out, the golfer on the next hole tees off. "Remember that is a timed event, not scored, said Chad Little, Liv -A -Little Board Chair. "You need to com- plete the hole as fast as possible:' As part of this fundraising event golfers will have the opportunity to take their shot at being a part of his- tory, which could land them in the Guinness Book of World Records. All while raising money and aware- ness for a good cause. "We are very excited that Guinness has approved our claim, said Chad Little. "We wanted to bring a new exciting event to the tournament." "This will be a tough challenge as the current world record is only 15 minutes to complete all 18 holes. We can't wait to see if this community can pull it off." Event Details The event will kick off a 9 a.m. sharp Saturday September 20, 2014 at the Saugeen Golf Club in Port Elgin, Ontario with the clock starting at 9:45 a.m. As part of the event golf- ers will be treated to a com- plimentary continental breakfast during the morn- ing overview, including rules and hole placement. Golfers can sign-up as an individual, group or team. The group sign-up allows for a golfers to partner up and put their stake on a specific hole. After the world record attempt the Swing, Shoot and Liv Golf Classic will kick-off with a BBQ lunch provided by the Wismer House beginning at noon. The tournament will com- mence with a 1 p.m. shot gun start.

Cystonosis is a rare, inherited disease charac- terized by the abnormal accumulation of the amino acid cystine. The build-up of cystine in the cells eventually destroys all major organs of the body. Currently there is no cure, only a time demand- ing, around the clock treatment. This rare meta- bolic disease afflicts 75 children and young adults in Canada, and only 2,000 worldwide. Liv -A -Little Foundation Mission Liv -A -Little is commit- ted to supporting the advancement of treat- ments and ultimately a cure for cystinosis, by educating, promoting and funding progress. For more information contact Chad Littlechadlit- tle@livalittlefoundation.com We hope you will join us on our journey to help cure cysti- nosis and raise awareness. Bruce Skinn The Wingham Golf & Curling Club enjoyed a busy couple of weeks highlighted by two hole in ones and terrific turnout for the homecoming golf tournament. On Friday, August 1, 2014, the Wingham Golf Course was privileged to be part of the fantastic, well-run homecoming weekend. The organizers and all of the volunteers did a stellar job of putting all the many events and activities together for the entire weekend. The 146 golfers with the help from the weatherman could not have asked for a better day to play golf. The first flight winners were repeat champs from 2004. The team of Adam Skillen, Brendon McGee, Steve sillcock and Ryan Deyell took home the first place trophies. The sec- ond flight winners were the Stewart botys, Kurt and Cole, and the Riley brothers, Jare and Joel, who finished with a score of 59 to post 11 under par. One of the many high- lights of the day was Any Williams' ace on the sev- enth hole. Andy's four hybrid shot was perfect and the goup on the eigth tee were excited watching the ball find the hole. On Thursday, July 31, the kids hit the links as part of the homecoming events. The 25 children with help from several volunteers played a nine hole scramble followed by burgers and prizes in the dining lounge. Tim Currie and Greg Blackwell did a great job of putting the golf tournamentrs together and should be congratulated for a fantas- tic job. The maintenance crew Bruce, Dave, Bob and Brad had the course in superbe shape, which also helped in making the event successful. In regular league play, the Tuesday ladies again had to wait for the morning rain to stop before play. Aantje Rob- inson was winner of the lungest putt. On Wednesday, August 5 the senior men had 29 golf- ers on a cool sunny morning. Bruce Boyd had a solid round of 36 to lead the way.
