4th Annual David de Eyre Classic – Another Great Success
With sunny skies and warm temperatures, golfers took to the course with great enthusiasm for the Boating Ontario Dealer’s 4th Annual David de Eyre Classic golf tournament that was held on Thursday September 8, 2011 at Horseshoe Resorts – Valley Course.
This tournament brings friends, family and several boat dealers together to have some fun on the golf course, network with industry co-workers and to remember the late David de Eyre. To add even more fun for everyone this year, not all contests were focused towards the better players on the course. We realize that not all that attend are golfers so putting a contest in place that brings the comeraudery to a new level is ideal and it allows the opportunity for non-golfers to be entered into winning a very nice prize.
“Due to the late start of the boating season, we didn’t have as many participants as we would have liked to but all in all everyone that did participate had a fantastic time. I am quite sure that several will be bringing new-comers with them again next year to increase our golfer numbers. This tournament really is about networking and not just about the game of golf” stated Jack Pady, Boating Ontario Dealer Chair.
