The Citizen, 2002-07-31, Page 9Players, teams wanted
for Assoc. golf challenge
With golf season well under way,
The Lung Association. Huron-Perth
invites enthusiastic golfers to plan
now for The Lung Association Dawn
to Dusk Golf Challenge which will
take place Monday, Sept. 30 at the
Stratford Country Club.
Unlike previous golf marathon
events, the format of the 2002 Dawn
To Dusk Golf Challenge focuses on
chipping, driving and putting from 8
a.m. to 6 p.m. rather than on the total
number of holes played.
Participants can sign up to play as
individuals or, new this year, sign up
with friends and co-workers as a
team. Businesses who enter a team
offer their participating employees .a
great day of team-building and
camaraderie while helping raise
funds to fight lung disease.
Those who enter a team will have
one team member on the course at
all times.
Team members can choose to play
for two hours, three hours or any
length of time the team decides each
person will play. For example, a
four-person team could have each
golfer play for two and .a half hours
while a team with two members
would see each golfer on the course
for five hours. The team format will
appeal to those who enjoy golfing
but aren't interested in playing ten
hours 'of golf themselves.
The Stratford Country Club has
been reserved for the exclusive use
of Dawn To Dusk Golf Challenge
participants and the day will include
breakfast, lunch, snacks and post-
event reception for all those who
have participated, throughout, the
day. Carts and balls are provided.
There are prizes for on-Course
games and all participants are
eligible for draw prizes featuring
travel getaways, golf items and
more.
Top .fundraisers will also receive a
priZe.
The minimum pledge level is
$1,000 per team. Depending' on the
number of golfers per team, each
team member could be responsible
for collecting as little, as $200 or
$250 in pledges.
While The Lung Association aims
to provide Dawn To Dusk Golf
Challenge participants with the
perfect day on the course, its
objective is to raise funds to help the
one in five Ontarians living with
some kind of breathing problem.
Monies raised through this pledge'-
baSed fundraising event will support
vital medical research as well as
Lung Association heaItl! initiativrc
such as the Asthma Action Program
and the new BreathWorks program.
To register for The Lung
Association Dawn To Dusk Golf
Challenge call the Huron-Perth
Community Office at 519-271-

The batter lets this one go as the ball drops onto the plate
for a strike in this game during the Blyth Storm's slowpitch
tournament. It was a warm weekend at Blyth's ball
diamonds for players competing in the tournament, the
proceeds of which benefitted the Heart and Soul campaign
as well as helping to fund the team's trip to play in
Saskatchewan. In this contest Team Blue took on the 007
Agents. (Vicky Bremner photo) PeeWees lose
Donating to the arena
Fran Cook of the Heart and Soul fundraising committee accepted, a $1,000 cheque from the
Blyth Storm men's slo-pitch team, a portion of the monies which were raised during last
weekend's tournament. The rest of the money will go towards the team's trip to Yorkton,
Saskatchewan next week for the Canadian slo-pitch championship. Making the presentation
were Calvin Kerr, left, and Mike McDonald. (Janice Becker photo)
it was another loss for the
Brussels U-11 squad when they met
Elma 1, July 23.
Elma scored early, slipping the
ball through the defence and beating
netminder Andrew Lindsay.
Brussels quickly tied the. game
when Randy Zwep kicked one into
the corner of the net.
However, the offense could not
keep up with the strong attack from
the home team and Brussels found
themselves down 4-2 by half time
after Brian Burgess netted one on a
deflection off the goalie and the post.
David Grobbink showed a lot of
hustle and a good pass play was
made by Chris Becker, to Zwep then
.ilownlield to Elli Schimanski,
Robert Cronin and Gavin Bowers.
Vanessa Ropp, Thomas Johnston
arid Cronin played well on defence,
pushing away attackers.
Elma tallied two more goals in the
second half in spite of strong efforts
in- front of goalie Grobbink by
Matthew Cardiff. Annamieka
Kerkhof, Ropp, Johnston and
Becker.
Brussels continued to make
attempts on their opponents' net but
were unable to break through.
The year-end tournament is being
held in Gowanstown, Aug. 10.
