The weatherman didn’t get the memo! But that didn’t dampen the success of the 24th Annual OCUF Golf Classic.
Golfers began their round accompanied by rain in the morning but the skies cleared in the afternoon. Spirits remained high all day. It was tough to put a damper on this fun event which helps raise funds for the Co-operative Youth Leadership Program.
Those non-golfers who elected to tour Royal Botanical Gardens and participate in a floral arranging workshop stayed dry, although a few will wear more comfortable walking shoes next time! The arrangements that came back were very impressive. One commented “it is amazing what you can do with simply white flowers and greenery.” A number of the golfers experienced some greenery too, the type that was well off the fairways!
We were all left to wonder what Libro CEO Stephen Bolton was doing with the Meridian sign. Contrary to the rumours, no ransom note was ever found.
A very special thank you to all the participants and to our many valued sponsors who continue to believe in OCUF and the good work we do with credit unions across Ontario that make such a big difference in their local communities.
A shout out to our volunteers who made the day run ever so smoothly. Tina and Sam (pictured under the umbrella) and Mark Ventry from ON Co-op managed registration and assisted with the prize draws. OCUF Board members Scott Windsor and Deanna Basso were your roving photographers and social media gurus. Special kudos to Devon Rowan who worked for many weeks to ensure the success of the 24th Annual OCUF Golf Tournament & Botanical Tour.

Calling all golfers and horticulturalists! Mark June 8th on your calendar for our annual fundraiser! Royal Ontario and Royal Botanical…
This event has a reputation for excellence in quality of venues and experience for our guests. We hope you will join us this year.
For the golfers we return to the Royal Ontario Golf Club in Hornby ON (north of Oavkille at 6378 Trafalgar). Ted Baker created one of Kaneff Golf’s most challenging tracks. The layout unfolds over an old equestrian centre that has a dramatic hilly terrain, dotted with 
wetlands in lower lying areas of the Sixteen Mile Creek river basin. Each and every hole features a unique challenge that will test your game. Make sure you are decisive and hit your shots with authority!
For those who have a passion for all things green, join the tour of Royal Botanical Gardens, enjoy lunch, and participate in the floral arranging class in the afternoon before returning to the golf course for happy hour.
You don’t want to miss this event. .
