MEN'S NIGHT SHOTGUN
What a great afternoon for the men's night shotgun. Under hot and humid conditions 120 members and guest participated in the first mens night shotgun event of the year. Even a few rain drops didn't dampen the mood.
The Cracked Canoe team was stationed on the first tee with cold samples for all to enjoy.For the first time ever, Whitevale Golf Club ran a guest giveaway hole in one contest. The contest was simple, each guest who participated in the event was eligible to save $1,000 on initiation if they join. If a guest hit the green on #14 their name was placed into a draw to win a free associate membership and if they actually got a hole in one the won a full Equity Membership.
Well, no one had an ace but 7 guests did hit the green and Mr. Joe Macima, who was a guest of Boxcar Hulme, won the free associate membership for the rest of the year. From this picture we're not sure who is more excited Joe or Boxcar.
That wasn't all the excitement. Bernie Docking donated a very large bottle of Crown Royal that was raffled off with all proceeds being donated to the Longest Day. The bottle was won by Jody Bevan and as you can see we think it was emptied before he left the building. Member Glenn Mackie doesn't look very impressed and Jody wasn't sharing the bottle.
The group of Kevin Huestis and Mark Brown with their guest came away as the eventual winners but I think it's safe to say that everyone we participated had a great time.
Thanks to all who participated. Blair and the greens crew who had the course in great shape, Tony and the pro shop staff for running the event and of course Shawn and Andrew for putting on such a great meal. The stuffed pork chop was one of the best meals of the year.
Of course these events just don't happen with the support of our sponsors. A HUGE thank you to members Peter Elsenaar and Randy Chew for sponsoring the night.
THE NEXT MEN,S NIGHT SHOTGUN IS AUGUST 18th and we're looking for sponsors. If you are interested, please speak with Tony.
