2008 Coach Harry Groves Memorial Golf Tournament

Time is running short for this year's tournament. Get the word out to anyone who comes to mind. Remember, golfing ability is not high on the list of requirements. Even my name is on the Stanley Cup, er, the Memorial Trophy. Last year a sprinter from Zimbabwe participated without ever holding a golf club before. (Munya Maraire) He was the recipient of two glorious prizes: furthest traveled and worst shot. Costs are up this year, so $150 dollars is required for the greens fees, cart, lunch, beverages on the course and post tourney awards ceremony. Anyone wishing to join Clark and Coach's foursome can still bid until 5/18/08. Nothing like paying extra for more abuse! The Elks Club is again privileged to host our appearance. http://www.golflink.com/Golf-Courses/course.asp?course=948345

The Hampton Inn has a special rate for us ($89 at last check). http://hamptoninn1.hilton.com/en_US/hp/index.do Just use the special code PST when booking a room at 814-231-1590. The Friday night get-together starts at 7:30PM at the meeting room next to the main lobby. Pizza, beer, soda, water and various snacks are available for the low, low price of $10, even for recent graduates without jobs.

Kudos go to Clark Haley, who always puts in the work to keep this tradition going. And don't forget Harry Smith, who was volunteered this year to assume the duties.
