The tournament was held at the Riverside Gold Course in Mason. Sixteen teams participated in the event, which began at 10 a.m. and lasted throughout the day.
Teams were comprised of four players, and team captains were responsible for keeping score. The tournament began with a continental breakfast provided by McDonald’s and team selections. A Calcutta auction followed, which was hosted by volunteer auctioneer, R.F. Stein. Foodland, Jim Sayre, Tudors, Subway and the Mason Wal-Mart provided additional food for the event.
Hilda Austin, chamber executive director, described this year’s tournament as a success.
“We had a good turnout, great food and wonderful weather,” she said.
The winning teams received both Club House credit as well as a percentage of Calcutta money, with first place taking 40 percent, second place 30 percent and third place 20 percent. The final 10 percent of the money went to the chamber. Taking home first prize honors in this year’s tournament was the team of Mario Liberatore, Ron Harris, Allen Bell and Larry Wills. Winning second place was the team of Curtis Roush, Madison Sayre, David Shinn and Steve Clark, while the team of Brent Woomer, Paul Kawada, Rick Tolliver and Randy Tolliver took third place.
Forty door prizes, which were donated by local businesses, were distributed following the tournament’s conclusion. Prizes included golf umbrellas, a free 8x10 portrait, golf balls, wine and cheese backpack, Marshall jacket, golf gift basket, Cedar Point tickets, Lake Erie Island Cruise tickets, gift certificates, hanging baskets, wrench set, tickets to The Beach Waterpark and more. Tournament skill prizes also were awarded for the longest drive, closest to pin, closest to pin second shot and longest putt. In addition, a drawing was held to win two tickets of $300 value to the Greenbrier’s PGA event.
The chamber’s next event will be their monthly luncheon, slated for noon Tuesday, July 27 at the Marshall Mid-Ohio Valley Center.
