| Our 1st annual “Through the Eyes
of a Child” Golf Outing was blessed with a perfect day from
the weather gods! The morning sun was rising in the East and displayed
a beautiful view of the course, the trees and greens were shimmering
with bits of moisture, while the manicured tees and holes were anxiously
awaiting the arrival of golfers.
Devil’s Ridge Golf Club and their employees were readily
awaiting our arrival. After the golfers registered, some started
the day practicing their shots on the open range, while others joined
Christie and Kathie Beale for the beginning round of the putting
contest. At 9:00 a.m., they all arrived at their carts with their
clubs waiting patiently.
Terry Duvall monitored the second green for our Hole-In-One Cash
prize of $10,000.00, while no one won the money, Jim Millar came
the closest by six feet.
Christie and Kathie Beale then hosted the Vegas Hole on the 4th
green, but no one was lucky enough to land their ball within the
seven foot circle around the hole.
John Armstrong and I were off to host the second Vegas Hole on
the 16th green. While we were on our way, we manage to stop and
take some pictures of the teams, greens and surrounding scenery,
and we came across a snapping turtle hitching a ride on one of the
carts.
Scott Carzoli was the biggest winner of the day winning the Putting
and Closest to the Pin contests all while having a stiff and sore
neck. I hope Scott was able to ease his pain when he won an hour
massage, donated by Dimitriou Chiropratic Clinic and Regina Paige,
then he can enjoy another round of golf donated by Brentwood Golf
& Country Club in White Lake. Scott also was the lucky drawing
winner of the Golf Towel Underwear.
