sion champion of the Portage County Se-nior Amateur, traveled with Mary Kay Ku-nar to Pinehurst-Southern Pines (N.C.) to play in the 54th annual Elks National Tournament.

Open to all Elks members, the three-day, 54-hole event has three divisions: Open, Senior and Ladies.

Meanwhile, Kunar enjoyed playing with the lady members.

Bobbs played with Elks members from New Jersey, Connecticut, Kentucky and Florida, but competed with golfers from across the nation.LEAGUE UPDATE

SPECIAL TO THE RECORD-COURIER

The proverbial line, that the rain didn’t damper the spirits, applied to the re-cent Pfeiffer Scramble at Oak Knolls

Golf Club. It wasn’t just raining, it was a down-pour as golfers took to the fairways to play for great causes, including the successful Kent Roosevelt High School DECA program and the Rough Riders’ golf program. Golfers took cover on the Oak Knolls patio prior to com-peting. Many Kent Roosevelt alumni and for-mer Kent Roosevelt DECA and varsity golf-ers returned to play and support the outing that was originally started by Dick Pfeiffer and continued by the Pfeiffer family includ-ing. Pictured above are (from left to right)former Kent Roosevelt golfers Evan Ferra-ra (College of Wooster), Mike Kenney (Ohio University) and Aurora’s Tyler McHugh (Kent State University).
