Brockville, gathered together a small
group of local golfers to organize a char-
ity golf tournament to benefit Alt(;
Industries in Dashwood.
In 2000, I joined the Golf Committee
and each year thereafter, Bob would tell
the story of that very first golf
tournament.
"1t rained "
"It rained hard... all day."
"144 golfers signed up for that first
tournament„
"No one golfed"
Some played cards in the lith, some
went host'
...but all returned for dinner, she said
adding no one asked for their money
hack.
Bob was the chairperson of the Golf
Committee from 199:3 until his death in
2004. "At that time we changed the
tournament name to honour this tine
gentleman and carried on without hint.
A plaque honouring his contributions,
is displayed for all eyes to see in the
Administration wing of Community
Living South 11uron, in Dashwood;'
Shaw saki.
She said Bob became interested in
golf at any early age. "Ile once told Intl'
that he used to walk to a local golf
course and hunt for golf balls. One day
when he was about 1:3, a lady spotted
hien and asked if he would be interested
in caddying for her. She told him what
time to sleet her at the golf course.
What he didn't tell her was that he lived
a great distance from the course and
would need to start off before daybreak.
It was several weeks before she found
this out and then ever after she picked
hint up at his home. Years later, when
she replaced her golf (.1111)5, She gave
her will, wooden shafted set to Bob. Ilk
first set. 1 lis love for golf never waned
and some in this room can attest to
being impressed by his swing when he
was long into his till's So, to all who have
ever been over heard asking the (lues
tion, "who is Bob Williams?': now von
know."
