We had wonderful weather for our 2023 LVA Golf Tournament which took place on Saturday September 9th at Deerhurst Lakeside Golf Course. As in the past, it was a 9-hole best ball tournament which allowed golfers of all abilities to participate. We had a great turnout with 9 teams (a sell out again this year).
The focus of the tournament was “fun” so although scores were turned in, it was for bragging rights only. Congratulations goes to Team 3 with a score of 29 – Gord and Heidi Card, John and Jane MacLennan. Coming in with a score of 30 was the second place Team 4 – Marshall and Tanja Platt, Curtis Platt and Eden Ritchie.
At the social, we also recognized the following players who won:
The Putting Contest was once again a fun event. This year we had two putting areas set up. This year’s winner of the Putting Contest was Ormond Chalmers with 6 balls through the holes. Ormond managed to squeeze out Marshall Platt and Mike Schmidt right at the end of the contest.
Following the golf, the golfers and their guests/spouses gathered on the Eclipse Terrance for a Mediterranean Display (pita points, hummus and baba ghanoush), a vegetable tray, 3 kinds of pizzas, and drinks. The terrace was a great place to socialize and from the comments we received a fun time was had by all. Each couple/individual left with a gift (the LVA portion of the 50/50 contest is used to fund the gifts so thank you to the "putters"). There was also a draw for two sweatshirts donated by Ruthven Marine (thank you to the Schmidts) along with several other draw prizes.
We could not put on a golf tournament without our LVA volunteers. A huge "thank you" to:
Finally, thank you to those who participated in the golf and social.
We hope to see you again next year!
