The first Memorial University Scholarship Golf Tournament, held on
Sept.
21, was a success, raising over $19,000 for Memorial's general scholarship
fund. This inaugural tournament was held at a new and exciting golf course
located at the Wilds at Salmonier River. The golfing event was part
of the university's anniversaries celebrations program — the 50th
anniversary
of the creation of Memorial University as a degree-granting institution
in 1949, and the 75th anniversary of the founding of Memorial College in
1925. The tournament was designed for corporations,
companies,
agencies, and other groups and individuals to participate in a scramble
golf format over 18 holes.
President Arthur May, and Dr. Kevin Keough, vice-president
(research
and international relations), came up with the idea for the
tournament.
George Bradbury, vice-president, Bank of Nova Scotia (Newfoundland and
Labrador) chaired the event and assisted on the event organizing committee
which was comprised of: Sherilyn Beaton, Gerard Hayes, Carson Leonard,
Dr. Bill Redden (chair), Kevin Smith, Harold Squires, and Charles Williams
(Bank of Nova Scotia). The tournament attracted the support
of 28 participating teams, as well as many prize sponsors.
