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.
