MANSFIELD ET PONTEFRACT July 27, 2019
More than sixty golfers took to the links at Club de Golf Pontefract for the . . .
annual Pontiac Classic Golf Tournament on July 27.
Each foursome tried to come in with the lowest 18-hole score in a four-ball scramble format.
In the end, the team of Stephane Paré, Eric Jolin, Daniel Romain and Serge Duvall brought home the A division title with a final score of 61 – or 11 under par.
The tournament is a mainstay at the Club de Golf Pontefract where club owner Guy Ladouceur says people come from all over just for the tournament.
He said people from as far afield as Toronto and Montreal make the trek for the Pontiac Classic.
While it was a hot day on the course, a slight breeze did its best to keep the golfers cool, but made for perfect golf weather with calm conditions.
Although there is no main prize, participants throw their hats in the ring for a chance to secure bragging rights for a full calendar year.
When the golfers finished their rounds, they made their way to the air-conditioned club house for a dinner and a draw for door prizes.
The winner of the B division was the team of Martin Danis, Nicolas Jolin, Louis Jolin and Ben Mercure.
In the mixed division, the team of Don Garvey, Rachel Garvey, Diane Smith and Doug Rose took home the top prize.
