Team of Legion golfers from
Seaforth win provincial tournament
Jeff Heuchert
After having. come close in four previous
attempts, the Seaforth duo of Kevin Bennett
and Mike Marion finally won the Legion
provincial golf tournament.
Held at the Club de Golf Nation in Curran,
just outside of Ottawa over the Sept. 16-17
weekend, the tournament hosted roughly 150
golfers from Legion branches across the
province.
To qualify for the • provincials, Bennett and
Marion
Marion competed at the zone and district lev-
els, in June and July.
"Getting 'to the provincials is not tough for
us, it's getting out that's difficult. We were
always getting to the provincials and then
getting beat out by the. top three or four,"
recalls Marion, in a recent interview with
Marion at the Seaforth Golf and- Country
Club, where both men are active members.
During their down time, Bennett and
Marion took in some sights in Ottawa, includ-
ing the Parliament Buildings, embassies, and
the Rideau Canal.
"It was my first time being in Ottawa. It was
a very beautiful city," notes Bennett.
Both men agree that over the years the com-
petition has improved at the Legion golf tour-
naments.
They say it's because the Legion began
allowing younger golfers to join, after strug-
gling to fill teams, adding that, at one time
each team had four golfers.

"We're seeing these young guys hit it t (the
ball) a mile," says Marion, adding that stiffer
competition only makes for a better tourna-
ment.
"We just out jousted them this year," he
adds.
"You have to play good to ,win this," notes
Bennett. "This is not something that is -hand-
ed to you."
Marion says they feel . the reason
they won this year is because they
played a practice round prior to the
tournament, where they got a good
feel for the course.
"It was one of those courses where
you have to see it beforehand. It
made all of the difference in the
world," he adds.
While the victory was a first for
Marion, Bennett had tasted victory
once before, in 2001, when he won
the provincial tournament while
playing with Marion's son Chris.
"Since then, we've seen this as a
mission," says Bennett, adding that
they also had an additional motiva-
tion to winning this year.
Each year the tournament's win-
ners gets to host the following
year's event in their Legion
branch's hometown.
