It was a beautiful day last Saturday to be on the greens
at Point Sebago in Casco, where 25 teams of both men and women played a
game of golf and enjoyed a barbeque while soaking in the sun, all
to support a local fundraiser. This is the fourth year in row that Windham
athletic director Rich Drummond has put together this tournament for
the district. The tournament celebrates the athletic department in RSU14.
In years past as many as 32 teams have participated (36 teams is considered a full field), it has always had a great turn out. Local people and businesses have helped to sponsor the tournament in many ways. Some businesses donate monies towards the event while others help with prize donations that are then raffled off. These prizes range from apparel with Windham Eagle embroidered on them, Nike apparel, framed sports photography, sporting event tickets, and trophies to take home. Teams that come back year after year and new participants in this event, all look forward to a day of golf, sharing some laughs, enjoying bantering conversation with other teams, and making new acquaintances. This year’s events brought about a team that included Boston Celtic legend Dave Cowen who has retired to our local area. Everyone including Cowen is just out to enjoy the day, enjoy the great game of golf all for a good cause.
