It's hard to believe it's the "Ides of July".
It almost feels like the summer is still to come.
In July we have the Ladies Invitational coming up
next week and Couples Night is July 25th. Then believe it or not we'll be
gearing up for the Canadian Tour event in August.
We just want to remind you all that if you would
like to volunteer, host a player, caddy, play in the pro-am, or sponsor a part
of the Seaforth Country Classic you just go on line to the Country Classic
website and follow the prompts.
There is a Caddy Training Session on Monday July
27th at 7 p.m. and a volunteer session on Saturday August 15th.
It's going to be a great week and we have some
great things going on, for example:
Monday is the qualifier for four
spots in the event. Elite golfers - professional or amateur can enter and
lay their game on the line for a chance to play in the week long event.
Monday afternoon is practice
time for the pros.
Tuesday is Pro Am Day - there is
an 8 a.m. shotgun start and a 1:15 shot gun start. The entry fee is
$300.00 per person and this includes 18 holes of golf with your pro, two meals,
live entertainment sponsored by Seaforth Insurance Brokers, and a gift package
worth over $250.00! The Pro Am is almost full so please enter as soon as
possible. It is a walking pro am so keep that in mind as you may have to
bring along a friend to caddy. That evening we will draw the winner of the
two tickets to the 2010 Masters. Make sure you get your Early Bird Ticket
before August 20th. Only $20.00 - it gets you in all week and gets you
into the draw!
Wednesday is a practice day for
the pros and there is a Wee Break Junior Golf session at the range at 11 a.m.
for all young golfers. We are still looking for a sponsor for that event
so if you know any companies with a tight budget, this may be a great way to
promote themselves.
Wednesday evening professionals
and interested golfers are invited to hear author, Bob Skura, in the clubhouse
at 7 p.m. Bob's book, "How Great Golfers Think" focuses on the mental aspects of
golf and anyone serious about their game will enjoy Bob's session.
Thursday -Sunday is tournament
time. Golfers tee off early in the morning and golf continues all
day. There is a cut on Friday night when the tournament field is reduced
by half.
Thursday - Sunday each evening
there is live entertainment in the hospitality tent and you don't have to be a
golf fan to enjoy the music and fun. Qwatro is sponsoring Kim Souch on
Thursday night, Marcia and Fred Leitch from ReMax Land Exchange and Letich
Langlois Lawyers are sponsoring her on Friday night, and Carl Bolton
Seeds is sponsoring Kim on Saturday night. We are still looking for a
sponsor on Sunday night for Yaeger.
Also Sunday right after golf
there will be closing ceremonies and the presentation of the trophy to the
winner of the event. Don Martin will be piping the winner onto the 18th
putting green immediately after the winner is confirmed.
During the week long golf and
festivities we will be raising money for our charity the Gateway Rural Health
Research Institute. Half of the ticket money goes to the charity but an
additional benefit will happen every time a pro gets an eagle on # 4 Wes Spence
Accounting will donate $25.00 to the charity up to $500.00 We have a
couple of other holes where eagles will be the goal so if there's anyone else
out there who would like to take up Wes' challenge for the cause then let us
know.
Remember that players hosts and
volunteers are invited the Appreciation Party on September 19th and that all
volunteers receive a complimentary round of golf from Seaforth Golf Club.
If you cannot take the time to
volunteer or host someone, please purchase a ticket and come out and watch some
great golf! These are truly the stars of the future in your own back
yard!
CA, Cam, Todd & everyone at Seaforth Golf Club
