The 2024 Squash Ontario charity golf classic was held on Thursday 6th June at Pheasant Run Golf Club.
Despite the weather forecast predicting some showers, we were treated to nothing but glorious sunshine all day.
After signing in, purchasing raffle and putting contest tickets and checking out the new Squash Ontario mini court which was set up and shown off publicly for the first time, the scramble started at 1pm.
Once everyone had finished 18 holes, well deserved drinks were had at the 19th before a BBQ buffet dinner, the prize giving to the winners, drawing of the raffle and thankyou speeches from Lynsey Yates (SO Executive Director) and Dan Van Morsel (SO President) emphasizing the importance of the event and thanking everyone for their continued support of Squash Ontario.
Finally, finishing off the day there was a 2-way playoff in the 50/50 putting competition which came down to sudden death, with Doug Robinson squeezing past Kimesh Chetty.
The winners were:
Men's Foursome - Kimesh Chetty, James Van Steveren, Tony Chetty (missing is Yeshale Chetty)
Mixed Foursome - Chris Smith, Steph Edmison, Becka Hazell, Aaron Parker
Women's Foursome - Monica Harry, Grace Tanaka, Mona Panchal, Sandy Gregus
Contest Winners - Longest Drive Martin Heath, Longest Drive Steph Edmision, Closest to the Pin #1 Pat Van Gelder, Closest to the Pin #2 John Hall
