Seymour Golf & Country Club played host to an epic 81-hole golf game for a good cause June 29.
Seymour’s golf pro Dale Schienbein and Lenny Cyr teed off at 4:50 a.m. and hung up the clubs at 10:10 p.m., as part of a golf-a-thon to raise money in support for those living with ALS.
The philanthropic duo was putting on the ninth green (the first time around) when the sun crested over the North Shore Mountains for a banner day on the links. Here are some fun facts from the event:
Cyr shot rounds of 67-68-66-69-35, for an average of 67.5.
Schienbein had rounds of 75-72-77-76-38, for an average of 75.
Cyr had 21 birdies and one eagle. Schienbein had nine birdies and no eagles.
They made it through the day without losing a ball, but exhausted two power carts.
Total elapsed time of golf was just over 17 hours.
Cyr and Schienbein raised a record $27,046 for the ALS Society of B.C., with more than 161 pledges from Seymour members and staff, friends and fellow golf industry associates.
Over the past 11 years, Seymour Golf & Country Club has raised more than $238,000 for the B.C. ALS Society.
