6th ANNUAL 
NFPA GOLF TOURNAMENT

Held Sunday, 23 September 2007, in Plymouth, MA on behalf of The Brendan Grant Foundation


Plymouth, MA:  The 6th Annual NFPA Golf Tournament was held on Sunday, 23 September, at the Southers Marsh Golf Course  in Plymouth, Massachusetts, located on the beautiful south shore of metropolitan Boston not far from Cape Cod Bay.  

 The 18 holes of golf began at 1:00 pm sharp with a shotgun start, and special thanks are due to Dave Tourigny Sr. and his family for all their effort organizing this event.  This year's event was under absolutely pristine autumn weather and provided a fun and relaxing day of golf for all of our dedicated golfers.  Southers Marsh is a magnificently designed course, with cranberry bogs artfully woven through the various links (click here for a link to the golf club's website).  

Nine foursomes competed for cash prizes.  As it turns out, the impressive returning foursome of Brian Bishop, Bill Gibson, Scott Hanson and Bruce Mullin produced the best score of the day with a combined score of 5 under par.  The Winnett party came in second place with a combined score of 4 under par.  Third was the Carli/Perkins foursome coming in at an even par.  Additional contests included the closest to the pin at four separate holes won by the Dawn Cedrone, Bill Gibson, Barb Miller, and Mike Grant.  The longest drive was won by Lorraine Carli for the women and Bob Winnett for the men.  The course certainly has its share of challenges, with plenty of golf balls finding their way into the cranberry bogs.  The results are as follows:

 The weather was great all day, with plenty of sunshine and not too hot.  After completing the course, everyone was able to relax and enjoy a barbeque dinner, along with a raffle.  Special thanks go out to those who helped with the raffle, most notably George and Barbara Miller (Titleist golf balls), Tom Norton (golf balls and tees), Lorraine and Jay Carli (golf shirts), Rita Fahy (Bluetooth headset), John Dicocco (New England Golf Guides), and multiple anonymous contributions.  In addition, all participants received a new golf shirt as a way of saying thanks for their support.  It was a fun day of golf for all involved, and the proceeds from this successful event go to benefit the various on-going initiatives of The Brendan Grant Foundation.
