GT Classic Golf Tournament a success
Community members came out to show support and “putt for a purpose” on Sunday, Sept. 13 at Shorewood Country Club. The event was titled the GT Classic Golf Tournament. In addition to some friendly competition, good food and great prizes, participants helped raise money for Dunkirk resident Gary Tripp and Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Not long before the tournament, Tripp learned he had stage four inoperable cancer. His family and friends banded together to provide support and the GT Classic Golf Tournament was born of their efforts. The event was open to the public and the format was a four-person scramble. In all, 128 golfers participated on what turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day. A group comprised of Russ Conti, Gary McBride and Robert Clark won the event. Kevin Kaszuba was selected for the special $2,500 putt at the end. According to Tripp’s cousin and friend, Mike Flitt, “He barely missed the putt to the left of the holes.
