Its Sunday afternoon, it's 2pm, its hot and its humid! What do Rotarians like to do? Why golf, that’s what. And so ,12 Rotarians and their guests (4) showed up for a fun golf tournament at the Sackville Golf and Country Club. The event was organized by Wynn with assistance from Dianne (golf club relations).
Pictured are some of the members getting instructions on the rules of the tournament.
Wynn formed 4 teams of 4 who were challenged with naming their team. The results were:
Meldrum Misfits Rotary Woods
Wynn Meldrum Frank Oulton
Sharon Meldrum Dianne Oulton
Wendy Meldrum Darrell Harvey
Bill Evans Marguerite Harvey
Winners Without a Y Adams Family
John Murchie George Woodburn
Gemey Kelly June Woodburn
Patricia Belliveau Wayne Harper
Edna Boland Sandy Harper
Clearly a lot of time was taken in the name choices. The afternoon was perfect for golfing with little breeze and a lot of sun. All participants survived with no injuries. Sadly no one got a hole in one. Closest to the pins of #5 and #7 were Frank and Dianne on #5 and Wynn and Marguerite on #7.
The shot of the day belonged to Dianne as she chipped in for and Eagle on the last hole. The euphoria was short lived as hubby Frank suggested that she buy everyone in the club house a drink. She did!
Longest drive winners were Gemey Kelly for the ladies and Frank Oulton for the men.
The final test was for the straightest drives with Sharon leading the ladies and Frank taking the men’s prize.
In the end, the Rotary Woods won the day with a 38 followed closely by the Meldrum Misfits with a 39. The Adams Family ended up with a 40, while the Winners Without a Y shot a 41. A couple of birdies and anyone could have won.
Wynn assured everyone that they would get a prize and they did. Below is some of the highlights of the prize distribution.

Its Sunday afternoon, it's 4pm, its hot and its humid! What do Rotarians like to do? Why volunteer. David McKellar and Susan Fisher who came in only to pick up the pizzas and salads. A big Thanks you!
