You couldn’t have asked for better weather to hold a golf tournament. In fact, several participants of the Second Annual Marilyn Koroluk Memorial Golf Tournament remarked that it was Marilyn’s favourite kind of weather, hot and sunny and it made for a great afternoon out on the course at Whitetail Crossing in Mundare.

Cliff Moroziuk said when he was teaching in Lamont, he would always get his hair zone by Marilyn. There were a great many others at the tournament who knew Marilyn, Perry and their daughters. It was like a family atmosphere and Perry said it was great to see so many people having fun.

The tournament has also assisted youth in the community of Lamont as last year they helps to support the Lamont Curling Club’s junior curling program. Perry said they have a few ideas for this year’s proceeds, but they are just exploring possible options at this point in time.
