​GOLF TOURNEY NETS TEN THOUSAND FOR SIERRA COUNTY STUDENTS

10/6/2015

0 Comments

 

 
  About ten thousand dollars was raised for the Sierra Schools Foundation at the 5th Annual Swinging for the Schools Golf Tournament Saturday at Plumas Pines Golf Resort near Graeagle.
  SSF president Megan Meschery said, “It was a gorgeous day, with the rain breaking through only in the early evening after dinner.” She said that participants and organizers alike reported that everyone had a great time for a great cause. 
  Winners in the various levels of competition were as follows:
  1st Place Men: Jaquez foursome, and 1st Place Women's: Grandi foursome
  2nd Place Men: Grant foursome, and 2nd Place Women's: Brady foursome
  3rd Place Men: Donnelly foursome, and 3rd Place Women's: Olivieri foursome
  Closest to the Pin Men: Taylor Mieras
  Closest to the Pin Women: Kasey Marin
  Longest Drive Men: Taylor Mieras
  Longest Drive Women: Dawna Mantei
  For this year’s Fashionista Award the Grandi foursome took first place with its handmade tutus and blue ribbons to promote the fight against colon cancer. The Walker foursome was a close second with its Hawaiian theme complete with a sharkmobile and a marlin moto.
  The special Alumni Award went to the Travis Cone foursome with every player a graduate from Loyalton High School: Travis Cone, Jeff Brooks, Aaron Adams and Paul Salas. Duncan Cameron's alumni team also had a great showing and gave the Cone foursome a run for its money.
  Meschery said that “The Sierra Schools Foundation greatly appreciates Duncan Cameron, welder extraordinaire, for creating and donating all of the beautiful medals this year. Many thanks also go to Sheri and Paul Roen for cooking up a wonderful post-golf meal. We really appreciate the community effort to make this big day happen.”
  PGA Professional Robert Garrigus and his wife Ami, who is a 1997 graduate of Loyalton High School, again sponsored the tournament with generous gifts of TaylorMade clubs and equipment valued in thousands of dollars.
  Other major sponsors were West Orthodontics of Truckee and Plumas Pines Golf Resort.
