34th Annual Education & Scholarship Golf Tournament - Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce

Thank you for your generous support of the 34^th Annual Greater Cape Ann Chamber Education & Scholarship Golf Tournament. Whether you participated as a player, volunteer, donor or sponsor, everyone had a role in making this year’s event our 34^th consecutive success!

Just over 100 players competed on the beautiful Bass Rocks Golf Club course on a sunny but blustery day. This year, to compensate for two holes closed for maintenance, a special putting contest was added (won by Kendall Daly) and enjoyed by all. The sale of mulligans was also a welcome addition that we plan to continue next year.

The team of Mike Tibert, Emily Jermyn, Kyle Gauthier, and Harrison Rogers fielded by Beauport Hospitality Group took First Place Low Net with a score of 47. The Timberline Enterprises team of Paul Xavier, Connor Weed, Mark Butenas, and John Paddol posted a score of 57 to win First Place Low Gross. Following closely behind was the Second Place Net (48) winning team from Cape Ann Motor Inn & Castle Manor Inn and Third Place Net (50) winning team from Building Center. See below for additional prize winners.

In case you missed it in our Soundings Newsletters, the links below contain the team photos and a few highlights from the day and the program. Please be sure to share these with your foursomes, as we only have emails from our main contacts.

In addition to a wonderful day of play, the most compelling reason for our Tournament is to support the Chamber’s Business Education Collaborative and the funding of six Annual Scholarships for graduates from our greater Cape Ann Schools. Through the generous support of our Sponsors and the careful selection by our Scholarship committee, we will award a total of $8000 to the following students on June 15^th at Small Business Persons of the Year Award Dinner at the Castle Manor Inn:

Greater Cape Ann Chamber Scholarship – Becket Spencer
Michael Costello Scholarship – Jack Delaney
Pat Roy Scholarship – Chloe de Gaspe Beaubien
Rudolph “Rudy” Macchi Scholarship – Seamus Buckley
Sylvester ‘Red’ Deering Scholarship – Allie Nicastro
Mr. & Mrs. L. Dexter Woodman Scholarship – Aria Caputo
