To raise money for the organization, the Canora detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) held a golf tournament on July 15 at the Canora Golf and Country Club.
The Thunderbolt Golf Tournament attracted 58 golfers and made a profit of $1,540, according to Cst. Brad Rumbolt, the event organizer. The event also included supper after the competition and nine prizes that were won in different categories.
The winner of the Top Team Award was Curtis Baillie’s team, who received a plastic golf club and a $25 gift certificate for Nehaj Building Centre.
The man and woman with the longest drives were Aaron Herrises and Lisa Derkatch. Herrises was awarded with an inflatable boat, and Derkatch received a water fountain.
Curtis Ballie and Vicki Stevenson had the longest putts, and Ballie received a shop vac while Stevenson won an inflatable tube. Stevenson also won for being closest to the hole, and was awarded with a golf bag cart.
The winner of the Rum Run was Laird G. of Veregin, who received a bottle of spiced rum.
The two people who had the shortest drives, Matt Nehaj and Andrea Cumby, were each awarded a container of protein powder.
Rumbolt would like to thank everyone who supported the tournament in any way, as well as the various sponsors who made the event a success.
