FORE a Healthy Economy

This year’s Chamber golf tournament was held on Friday, August 19 at Alderbrook Golf & Yacht Club. A fine misttook the edge off the morning and golfers clambered into carts sponsored by Shelton Athletic Club, eager to hitthe greens as the shotgun sounded at 9:00 AM.

Relying on hospitality and showmanship, the hole sponsors provided on-course activities and specialty foods along the way. The Chamber extends its thanks to Arnold Smith Insurance, Bayshore Shell & U-Haul, Fred Meyer, Green Diamond Resource Company, Hawks View Insurance, Hood Canal Communications, John L. Scott Real Estate, Little Creek Casino Resort, Lucky Dog Casino, Mason Health, Mason PUD 3, Northwest Accounting Group, Our Community Credit Union, Peninsula Credit Union, Shelton Dental Excellence, The Salmon Center, The Shopper, and Wittenberg CPA, PS for their sponsorship.

At the turn, teams snapped photos thanks to Columbia Bank, enjoyed water courtesy of Bradley Air Company, and took a drive with a Ping Pong ball. There was plenty of action along the way, even as golfers avoided sand traps sponsored by Brady Trucking & Landscape Supply.

Lending a little help to the scores, players were able to purchase advantages like a licorice string, mulligans, and fairway tees. And, new this year, a stroke of sabotage was offered where each team had the chance to purchase one stroke another team prior to the start of play. Following a rapid pace of play, golfers gathered at the clubhouse for a reception courtesy of Berner Law Office, LLC. Players enjoyed a taco

and fajita bar and awaited the announcement of the day’s winners. First place went to Road Warriors Allan Eaton, Grant Dishon, Mike Eaton, and Bob Hurst; second place went to City of Shelton’s Brent Armstrong, Matt Deemer, Jared Schuffenhauer, and Robert Chavis; and third place went to Mark Nault, Randy Brown, Brad Bonser, and Earl Moran representing Our Community Credit UnionAll tournament awards were provided thanks to Our Community Credit Union.
