The first Annual Ontario Sailing Golf Classic presented by VELUX 5 Oceans took place on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at the Piper's Heath Golf Course in Milton.  Over 100 participants enjoyed a fun day on the golf course to help support high performance athletes through the Hans Fogh Fund.

 

Participants were treated to a barbeque lunch, a putting competition, and 18 holes of golf.  Dinner was followed by a raffle, silent and live auctions and the presentation of many prizes for Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, Club Challenge, Most Honest Foursome, and Best Foursome.  Although nobody took home the Harley Davidson for a hole-in-one, it didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the participants.

The highlight of the night was a live auction opportunity to win a trip for two to Charleston, South Carolina.  This all-inclusive getaway included premier accommodations at the Charleston Place Hotel and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board the 'Spirit of Carolina' and watch the Eco 60 sailboats launch into the final leg of the VELUX 5 Oceans' race in May 2011.  Spa treatments, tours, and excellent dining experiences rounded out his great trip and Tom Bolland from the Barrie Yacht Club walked away with the prize.

 

In addition to this fabulous Charleston trip, former Olympians Hans Fogh, Bernard Luttmer, and Terry McLaughlin each offered a day of coaching to the highest bidder and three lucky recipients walked away with these prizes.
