Dear Editor,
On behalf of Alice Jennings and the entire Jennings family I am pleased to report the 7th Annual David Jennings Memorial Canadian Hosers Themed Tournament on May 31st was an over -the-top-success. Seventy-three participants, most of who dressed like real hosers, honoured a great individual, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Ironically, Dave hated the game and thought anyone who played was a bit odd, if not a hoser perhaps.
In addition to celebrating Dave’s memory, the tournament provides a wonderful means for a broad crosssection of friends and strangers to get together for a great time, some spirited competition, and to raise monies for the development of junior golf on the island. Over the years Alice/the family have raised many thousands of dollars, all of which helps our golfing youth. What an honourable bonus.
As always, Alice went above and beyond in her spirited and giving way to ensure the event was perfect in every way, including a first this year with entertainment from one of Bowen’s newest and best upcoming musical groups, Grandpa’s Missing, a trio of golfers consisting of Peter Clarke, Ralph Keefer and Peter MacLean, who obviously entertain as well as golf. There was not a dry Depends in the audience.
We thank all those who supported this highly popular event, all of whom look forward to the 8th Annual Dave Jennings Memorial Golf Tournament next year.
Bruce Russell
