Sandra Schmirler A Huge Hit
Hello. My apologies for not writing yesterday. I got invited by Bob and Mary Wands of the Taylor Group to the Sandra Schmirler Foundation Golf Tournament at Thornhill Golf and Country Club in Toronto.
What a great day! Great people and excellent weather are a tremendous combination. I was fortunate to play with Wayne, Greg and our celebrity, 2008 world champion lead Ben Hebert of Team Martin. After a relatively slow start, we finished at -12 for the day, good enough for first place. Compared to the laughs we had (Ben, you're a riot!), the win was gravy.
Yesterday convinced me more than ever that curlers are in it for the love of the game. And the celebrities are at the Sandra Schmirler for the love of her and her legacy. To have Ben and Marc Kennedy (Team Martin second) come from Alberta, and Jennifer Jones, Cathy Overton-Clapham and Kerry Burtnyk from Manitoba says a lot. You're all to be commended.
On a personal note, I won a closest to the pin on #12 which resulted in each of us in the group receiving a set of clubs. It was a nice feeling to hit a shot like that in front of two other groups.
It was also nice to see Peter Corner, Glenn Howard, Mike and Beth Harris, Stephanie Leachmann, Brian Lipskie, John McPherson and Stephen Blythe again.
Thanks again everyone for a great day!
Regards,
Steve
