News & Notes

Golfers capture Skin at District’s Literacy Golf outing in Auburn

         Golfers did our club proud at the annual District Literacy Golf Tournament Friday, June 6.

         Dave Cutten, John Paddock, Tom Seeley were joined by Rich Avery, Executive Director of the Hiawatha Seaway Council and prospective F-M Rotarian at the annual tournament, held this year at Lakeview Golf & Country Club in Auburn.   

         Thanks to a true team effort, our club finished just one stroke off the lead, with a final score of 67.  The trophy will pass through Skaneateles, however as our Rotary Brethren from the Evening Club finished atop the leaderboard with a score of 66.  Taking home the prestigious Trophy were evening Club Rotarians Todd May, Timer Whittingham, Steve Swartz & Robin Jowaisas.

         The day was not a complete loss for our fearsome foursome, however.  Our team captured a skin for the best score on one of the holes (your author has sadly, forgotten which hole).  For those not familiar with golf terms, a skin is where a predetermined amount is awarded for the best score on a particular hole.  For our efforts, the team was awarded $60. 

         All proceeds from the event go toward Rotary District 7150 Literacy Committees efforts to bring awareness to, and addressing, the adult literacy problems in our communities.
