Huron Expositor, 1999-05-05, Page 181I -THE HURON EXPOSITOR, May 5, 1 tl,! Sports Spring Scramble a successful tournament Four guys and a tourney. What a great example of community co-operation that makes everyone a winner. The Spring Scramble that took place on Saturday was organized by Marc Robinet, Doug Fry. Brian Nigh and Cam Doig. It was great to see the way the fellows worked together to make this relatively new tournament a great success for all involved. The event, which raises money for the Seaforth and District Food Bank, has become the kick- off event for the area's golf season. Great co-operation from various businesses in the area and avid participation from the golfers themselves has made this event the tournament of choice in early May. It was, for the first time, the perfect day for the tourney. Instead of the usual toques and turtlenecks. the smell of sunscreen lingered in the air as golfers prepared for their round of golf. The format was a three-man scramble with two teams playing together to create good fun and rivalry. Forty-two teams took part with a total of 126 By Corolonne Doig golfers. Many of the players were from Seaforth but there were other former members and Seaforth residents, as well as guests from farther afield. Following a burger lunch. the 18 holes of golf were played before enjoying a great dinner and visiting the prize table. Everyone received something from the prize table and, of course, the big winner is the food bank which benefits from the tourney's profits. This year, a portion of the profit will be given to the Bob Phillips family. A tie for first place at nine under par was broken with a shoot out on the 9th hole. Kevin Benne¢t's team defeated Chris Marion's team in the shoot out to claim the championship and have their names inscribed • on the tournament plaque. There were prizes for closest to the holes and longest dove, in addition to the prize table. Dick Burgess and his daughter, Jessica, took pictures of each group so that they would have an official memento of a great day for a great cause. The Ladies Night opening was held on Thursday with about 30 ladies taking part in a nine hole scramble followed by a potluck dinner. Sharon Stephan, Ruth Snell, Mary Moffatt and Barb Norman made up the Winning team. On Friday the golf course sponsored a Junior Golf Clinic on the PA Day.
