Yesterday, Saturday August 9, the Gilbert Plains Legion Branch #98, put on their annual golf tournament. Once again, we had the privilege of sponsoring a hole in one on Hole #4 worth $10000. And what a day it was!!! The day started out a bit drab and dreary with clouds overhead and the threat of rain. And then the sky cleared up and we had a beautiful summer day and perfect for golf. Sunny, not too hot, and just a slight breeze.
There is no possible way I can say enough about the people who put in the time and effort to bring this all together! But if you are looking for a perfect day of fun and golf, well, this amazing group of people certainly gave you what you were looking for!!! The planning, prizes, organization, and oh yes, the absolutely outstanding steak supper!!! I really don't think anyone could have asked for a better, or more fun filled day!!
Unfortunately, we did not get to award the big check for the hole in one. However, Allan Sanko certainly did his best. His tee shot hit the green and rolled just past the hole, missing it by less than an inch. Maybe next year Allan.
To everyone from the legion, and all the volunteers, that gave their all to bring off this great event, thank you just doesn't seem enough, but you all have our thanks!!
Congratulations to our local legion, and to all the people who participated. Definitely looking forward to next year!!!
Thank you everyone!!!
