22nd Annual Golf Classic - Par for the Course

On September 20, under sunny skies, 55 golfers teed off for a great afternoon of golf during our 22^nd Annual Golf Classic. This was the best turn-out in memory, with 14 teams representing a cross section of local businesses.

Congratulations to the Emerald Management team of Reggie Grant, Neil Carroll, Kyle Shangraw and Kurt Shangraw who won 1^st place with lowest gross score. Also, congratulations to President Jason Beever and wife Linda whose team won 1^st place with lowest net score.

Participants had opportunities to win hole-in-one prizes on several par 3 holes, including a truck, a Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide, and a flat screen TV, among other items. Sadly, we were not able to give away any of these great prizes. Maybe next year!! Thanks to Lee Dodge of Westbrook for sponsoring the truck and Back In Motion Physical Therapy of Gorham for sponsoring the other hole prizes.

A huge thanks to our Platinum Sponsors: Century 21 First Choice, Desmond & Rand PA/Stroudwater Title Services and Emerald Management Corp. Big thanks are also due to our Gold sponsors and all the wonderful folks who sponsored holes this year. Most sponsors were listed in the program (see picture below). A complete list will be shared on our web page and FaceBook page when it is available.
