The weather cooperated, providing a nice, sunny day for the 20th annual Kevin Lord Memorial Golf Tournament, held at Bear Creek Golf & Country Club on Saturday, May 30.
The annual tournament raises funds for several local charities.
“It’s a memorial tournament,” explained organizer Al Lord. “We’ve been doing this for 20 years. It’s in memory of my son Kevin who was a New Tecumseth resident and passed away at the young age of 20.”
Kevin was a hockey and ball hockey player who represented Canada in the ball hockey junior championship in Slovakia.
Each year, the tournament raises funds for Matthews House Hospice, the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada, and Campfire Circle camp for children with cancer or a serious illness.
“We have 152 golfers out here today,” Al said. “We usually average around that number, but it varies from year to year. Anything over 140 is a good number. We’re having a special raffle for Maple Leaf tickets – it’s a special raffle for Stevenson Hospital. We support several charities including several local charities.”
The tournament used a four-man scramble format to keep everyone busy on the greens and ensure that all the teams kept moving throughout the 27-hole course.
With the nice weather, the golfers were enthusiastic about getting out on the course to hit some balls.
The event began with over 100 golf carts being led out onto the course to start the day.
