The rain forced the play indoors for the annual Morrisburg Ladies Friendly on Tuesday, June 11.

While the play outdoors had to be cancelled, indoors the 53 participating women played some cards and then enjoyed a wonderful lunch.

“All in all, it turned out to be a nice day,” said Morrisburg ladies captina Monique Patenaude. “We had a chance to talk with ladies we had not seen since last year.”

Twelve golfers were in attendance from Cedar Glen, six from Iroquois, two from Summer Heights, nine from Rideau Glen and 22 from Morrisburg.

Regular Wednesday evening play on June 12 was sponsored by Cook’s Corner Debbie Dennis and saw 53 ladies playing a round.

Prizes were awarded for putting skills with Tabatha Casselman winning with the least at 11. Anne Winters and Barb McWhinnie won for the most putts, their totals not given.

Jennifer Adams dropped her shot closest to the pin on the par three 17th hole, while Shannon Casselman dropped the longest putt on the 18th hole at 25 feet.

There were a few strings attached for the ladies who participated in the weekly ladies night on Wednesday, June 6. In fact there were quite a few strings attached as each golfer was given a length of string to be used to improve their ball position.

The rules of the night allowed that the string would be used anywhere, to remove a ball from a hazard, perhaps a bunker, or out from behind a tree. Why it could even correct an incorrect putt.

Using their strings to their advantage to top the evening were Monique Patenaude with a 38 and Linda Barclay with 39 in A/B flight.

In class B/C, Gisele Hooles won with a 43, and Kitty Moore was just a string away with a 44.

The evening sponsor was the McIntosh Country Inn. 

Gord Dillabough shot a 34 to lead the men’s night field last Thursday, June 13. Donnie Mabo won B flight with a 39 while Allan Patterson was the top shooter in C with a 43. Net wins went to Kevin Duvall in A flight, Sam Harwood in B and Bob Youmelle in C.

Dropping their shots closest to the pins were John Hickman on the 14th and Mick Mabo on the 17th. 

The evening was sponsored by the Morrisburg Leader.

The weather took its toll on June 6 with just 32 golfers actually getting out to play. The night was sponsored by Jim Whelan/Sun Life Financial.

Top shooters were Lee Beaupre in A flight, Dave McClenagan in B and Bob Youmelle in C. Net winners were Steve Boucher in A, Andy Patenaude in B and Bob Desrosiers in C.

Closest to the pin  winners were Andy Patenaude on the par three fifth hole, and Tom Whelan on the par 3 seventh.

Coming up this Thursday, June 20, the men’s night sponsor is Gary’s Automotive.

In a rare day filled with sunshine, everyone was smiling as the 10 team Garry Shaver Memorial Blooperball tournament went to work, here Saturday, to raise $3,219 for the Dundas County Easter Seals council.

Organized by Barb Hodgson and Troy White with help from their friends, the day featured top notch action which was won by the Barn Muckers.

“We are fortunate to have people like Barb (Hodgson) and Troy (White) who put on events like this for us,” said Deanna MacKillican a member of the Dundas County Easter Seals council. “They really put a lot of work into this.”

MacKillican explained the $3,219 was raised through the tournament registrations, raffles and draws and will be used to assist families who have children registered with the Dundas County Council for Easter Seals.

The annual Garry Shaver Blooperball tournament is the second of three yearly events run by community volunteers in support of local Easter Seals children. Next up is the annual ball hockey organized by Brian and Tracey Shaver in Williamsburg in the fall.

MacKillican explained that numbers are down across the board. “We are down to just the three major fund raising events (the first is the Snowarama in February), we have just four council members on our board and we have probably less than 10 Easter Seals families registered with us.”

She says these are all numbers that the Dundas County Easter Seals Council would like to see increased.

For a number of years, the Council assisted some 16 to 17 registered Easter Seals families and MacKillican is unsure why fewer children are registered.

Easter Seals assists families in a number of ways including financial assistance of up to $3 000 per year, per child to help purchase essential mobility equipment such as wheelchair, walkers, ramps or lifts.

 Easter Seals also owns and operates two fully accessible summer camps and offers 10-day summer camp experiences. For children who either don’t want to or are unable to attend Easter Seals camp, financial assistance is available to attend another summer recreational activity of their choosing.

 Scholarships for young people with physical disabilities attending post secondary education are also available. 

Children/youth up to 19 years of age are eligible for services through Easter Seals.

MacKillican indicated the Council would also welcome some new members. With three of the four living in the Morrisburg area and the fourth from Kemptville, some representation from the north end of Dundas County (the Winchester and Chesterville) areas would be very beneficial.
