A very strong turn out by local golfers \u2014116 in all \u2014 and strong corporate support, made Youth Services\u2019 31st Annual Golf Tournament a rousing success, generated over $20,000 to help underwrite the agency\u2019s programs. The tournament was held at the Brattleboro Country Club on July 27, a warm 90 degree clear day. This was one of the highest turnouts since 2003, according to Russell Bradbury-Carlin, Youth Services executive director.<\/p>\n

The team of Paul LaCoste, Mike Pacheco, Spencer Clason and Todd Waterman from H&R Block\/Targett Ledgers won First Gross, with the Savings Bank of Walpole team of Steve Bianco, Gregg Tewksbury, Rick Wisell and Jason Kelley finishing First Net.<\/p>\n

The Brattleboro Subaru Ford team of John Mundorf, Kevin Curtis, Ed Winseck and Manny Metaxes took Second Gross with the Brattleboro Savings & Loan team of Hugh Barber, Bill Crowley, George Roberge and Tammy Bischoff taking Second Net.<\/p>\n

Allison Barber won the prize for the Women\u2019s Longest Drive. Tracy Sloan took Women\u2019s Closest to the Line with Kate McGinn winning the prize for Women\u2019s Closest to the Pin.<\/p>\n

In the Men\u2019s Division, John Mundorf took the prize for Men\u2019s Longest Drive. Dave Anderson took Men\u2019s Closest to the Line with Jason Canaday winning Men\u2019s Closest to Pin.<\/p>\n

Youth Services\u2019 Board member Rick Hashagen together with his grandson, Joshua Nordheim, ran a Putting Contest which raised $275 for the agency.\u00a0 The winner of the Putting Contest was Guy Lindholm.<\/p>\n

For the third year in a row, there was a silent auction and over 40 items and services were raffled thanks to the generosity of local businesses who has supported the fundraiser with gifts in kind.<\/p>\n

A special feature was the 4th year Helicopter Golf Ball Drop thanks to the Renaud Bros, Inc. helicopter, piloted by Mike Renaud and assisted by his wife, Shirley. Individuals did not need to be part of the tournament to buy golf balls, priced at $100 each, nor be present at the drop to win. Buckets of golf balls were dropped from 20 feet on the fairway at the Brattleboro Country Club, with the winner of the $3000 cash prize being Lynn Herzog of Brattleboro, VT.\u00a0 Bob Lyons of Newfane, VT, whose ball landed furthest from the pin won the 10-minute helicopter ride.<\/p>\n
