On March 21, 2009 BSCLA hosted the annual Golf Tournament to raise funds for scholarships to be awarded to local high school students.  

A group of dedicated volunteers arrived at the golf course before the break of dawn to begin preparations for what promised to be an exciting day.  Players from the ten teams began to arrive at Baytree National Golf Links to register around 7:15 a.m. for an 8 a.m. shot-gun start.  The weather was beautiful as the teams lined up to begin 18 holes of golf. 

Overall, the tournament raised $2161 towards the scholarship fund.  The GPS Team sponsored a hole for $215, and Peak Contracting sponsored a hole for $200.  Many local businesses donated prizes for this event. 

The first place team consisted of Will Leonard, Callahan, Allamon, and Holmes.  Coming in second was the team of Polniak, Fleming, and English.  Finally, the third place team included Mike Woolley, Woolley, Tim LaMunyon, and Follick.  Ray Polniak won the Men's Closest to the Pin and Lynn Pemberton was the Women's Closest to the Pin winner.  James Roberts won the Men's Longest Drive and Michele Lawrence won the Women's Longest Drive.  Congratulations to all the winners!!

During the tournament BSCLA announced the winners of the Hotel Raffle.  Kim Holt won the two night stay at the Radisson in Cocoa Beach, and Ken Bisnath won the two night stay at the Doubletree in Cocoa Beach.  Wil Leonard's lucky ticket number 203166 was drawn for the 50/50 winner, and he walked away with $75.  The group also had several silent auction items, which contributed $390 towards the overall funds raised during this event.
