Morrisons Cove Rotary Club & Dragon Pride Foundation Raise Funds for Cove With Annual Golf Outing

The Sixth Annual Morrisons Cove Rotary Club and Dragon Pride Foundation Golf Outing was held on Friday, June 23, at Iron Masters Country Club. This winning partnership raised a profit of over $10,000 this year thanks to a long list of sponsors, golfers, and many volunteers.

The golf outing was a four-person scramble format. Brent Baker Painting was the winning team with a score of 60 after a card off with Ray Camp VFW who also scored 60 and earned second place. Webber Associates took third place. 

The Webber Associates team brought forth an unscheduled challenge when team member Mark Barnhart of NPC offered to donate $1,000 if Derek Martin could sink a 4 1/2 foot putt on the putting green at the end of the tournament. Martin, who reportedly "didn't make a putt the whole tournament," came through under pressure and sank the putt.

The outing's top three teams include:

• First Place Brent Baker Painting: Mason Baker, Brent Baker, Jack Howsare, Darin Decker

• Second Place Ray Camp VFW: Mark Nycum, Mark Nelson, Doug Warmath

• Third Place Webber Associates: Don Knisely, Mark Emigh, Mark Barnhart, Derek Martin

Skills game winners included the following:

• Hole 3 Closest to Pin = Joel Green

• Hole 8 Longest Drive = Mason Baker (Mason donated back his $50 prize)

• Hole 11 Longest Putt = Dan Hoover

• Hole 16 Closest to Pin = Darin Decker

• Hole 17 Longest Drive = Joe Maschue

50/50 winner was John Huber with a prize of $375.

Burger King of Roaring Spring was the Outing Sponsor. Money raised from the golf outing will be used to support youth programs in the Morrisons Cove including the Dragon Pride Foundation Backpack. For more information on the golf outing, email the Morrisons Cove Rotary Club at [email protected]
