Despite a rainy morning, the October 1 OTF Golf Tournament at NCR Country Club in Dayton was a great success. Thirty-six teams participated in the Annual Golf Tournament that raises money for turfgrass research and scholarships in Ohio.
“OTF is very thankful for NCR Country Club for hosting this year’s tournament. This was an excellent opportunity for Ohio’s turfgrass managers to play another fantastic course. Superintendent Jim Campion and his staff had the course in great shape,” praised Mark Jordan, Golf Tournament Committee Chair.
With a team score of 60 in the scramble format tournament, the first place Century Equipment team of Joe Enciso, Jason Straka, Tom Topp and Mark Yoder received pro-shop gift certificates for $150 each. Second place went to the Northwestern Ohio GCSA team of Tim Glorioso, Chris Heinrichs, Don Lawrence and Tim Suter with a score of 60 – each received a $100 pro-shop gift certificate. Finishing third, also shooting a 60, was the LESCO/John Deere Landscapes team of Gregg Guynan, Joe Kaczmarek, Kelly Reid and John Wynn. Each player received a $50 pro shop gift certificate.
Gift certificates were also presented to the following skills contest winners:
Closest to the Pin #8 – Scott Papania
Closest to the Pin #17 – Tim Kelley
Straightest Drive #12 – Kelly Reid
Longest Drive #1 – Kelly Reid
Longest Putt #3 – Ed Grenert
Longest Putt #16 – Joe Kaczmarek
Seventeen golfers won the “Bet-the-Circle” contest which paid each golfer $20. Twenty-eight of the thirty-six teams participated in the “Skins” game – and the lone skins winner was the Miami Valley GCSA team of Todd Dodge, Harry Murray, Glen Pottenger and Charlie Tadge.
“We want to thank all the participants, sponsors, and NCR Country Club and its staff for making this such an enjoyable fundraising event” added Jordan. The OTF golf committee of Breck Brown, Todd Dodge, Paul Hoarston, Glen Pottenger, Randy Shaver and Dan Walter are already planning the 2008 tournament and will announce the date and location soon.
