Lisa Muise Makes history as two-time winner of Preston Cup

Monday December 10th - Ottawa

Lisa Muise made history at the 2012 edition of the Slammer Tour’s Slammies awards on Friday when she was voted Slammer of the Year by her peers for a second year. She previously won the award in 2008.

“Lisa is the first repeat winner of the Preston Cup for being Slammer of the Year,” said Andy Rajhathy, vice president of Executive Golf, the group that conducts the tour. “She loves the game and that enthusiasm comes through every time she’s playing or helping to organize and run events.” 

 

In total, 26 Slammies were presented during the ceremony, which was held in the clubhouse at Falcon Ridge Golf Course.

 

Two of the evening’s many highlights were Rick Turner winning the Ottawa Sun Rookie of the Year award and Steve Swanson capturing the BG Golf-O-Max Most Improved Slammer trophy.

 

The Make A Wish Foundation charity was also a big winner at the Slammies.

 

Executive Golf purchased a spot at the foundation’s 2012 100 Holes for Hope event for $1,500 and overall EG passed along a check for $5,206, the bulk of which came from the Slammer Tour through contributions made by Slammers every time they three-putted in 2012.

 

Slammer Tour Commish, Jamie Ryan, couldn't attend the Slammies for the first time in Slammer Tour history, but had a chance to Skype in after the Preston Cup was awarded.

 

After the awards were handed out, Ryan Skyped with fellow Slammers for another 90 minutes.

 

“The evening ran smoothly with some comedy being provided by veteran Slammer Tour members as they presented the awards to their fellow golf-mates,” said Rajhathy. “We shared a few videos that have been captured over the years, which also contributed to some nice memories and laughs.”

Final 2012 Slammer Tour Results

The Slammer Tour concluded it's 2012 season yesterday at the Canadian Golf & Country Club. 50 Slammers participated in the final event of the season after a dramatic "November Run for #1" which contained a playoff like format to get into the top four to control their own destiny at the final event. 

The 2012 season contained 271 regular Slammer Tour events, the annual Ryder Cup style Commish's Cup, season long Tour Championships, Slammers vs golf course challenges and plenty more.

 

Throughout the season, every time a Slammer three-putts he/she contributes fifty cents to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Eastern Ontario. The season long total through the Slammer Tour is $4,172. We combine this with our Executive Golf events and the Ottawa Sun Scramble and present the total contribution at the year-end awards ceremony, the Slammies, which takes place on Friday December 7th at Falcon Ridge Golf Club.

Team Falcon Ridge takes the 2012 Commish’s Cup at Casselview Golf & Country Club
First-ever guest team to take the cup in tournament’s six year history

July 17, 2012 – Casselman, Ontario. 10 teams of 12 golfers attacked Casselview Golf & Country Club’s freshly cut and rolled greens in a quest to dethrone the 2010-2011 champions, Slammer Team East, but in the end, captain Gabe Louli (Ticklar) and Team Falcon Ridge came out on top with 53 points, five more than runners-up Slammer Team South.

This was Team Falcon Ridge’s second attempt to secure the cup, after placing 3^rd in 2011. Members/pairings for Team Falcon Ridge are – with their Slammer nicknames in brackets, where applicable: Gabe Louli (Ticklar) & Al Ganier; Ryan Spratt & Farzin Hanifi (SpinMaster); Bob Davis & Phil Dugan; John Burke & Mike Pilon; Dave Turnbull & Stephen Brown; Jerry Stewart (Chilly) & Rick Lefvere.

Conducted by Executive Golf, The Commish's Cup is The Slammer Tour’s most significant team event of the season with players from both inside and outside of The Slammer Tour itself. The event is always held in mid-July at Casselview Golf & Country Club. It’s a match-play competition consisting of a two-person scramble, followed by a two-person best ball, and two singles’ matches. Each partner team had the chance to generate as many as 14 points and overall results are combined 12-person team totals: two for the partner scramble; four for the partner best ball; and two for both single’s matches (total of four per player).

“All teams had combined scoring averages of 85 or more in order to be eligible”, said Jamie Ryan, Executive Golf president. “This levels the playing field and keeps the event open for players of all skill levels.” And even with the recent drought, Casselview was in great shape, according to Ryan: “As always, Casselview’s large greens were impeccable and the ball was rolling beautifully.”

Notably, Slammer Team Central’s scoring average was the highest – coming into the event – and although they were expected to come in dead last, they tied for fourth. According to Central’s Captain Terry Benson (T-Bone), “I think we shocked those who thought they’d have a cakewalk with us because our secret weapon is tons of match-play experience. We know this game.”

Five guest teams brought their own teams and competed in 2012. Slammer Tour members battled each other in the weeks leading up to the event to earn a spot on the team by achieving a top rank within their region, or were acquired as a captain’s picks.

Attention Sports & Business Editors – For Immediate Release

Golf “Opener” a little late this year?
Early but short spring grants mid-summer conditions for annual Executive Golf Opener at Loch March

May 12, 2011 – Ottawa, Ontario. The outdoor golf season is already well underway, even though Executive Golf, a local golf promotion company (executivegolf.ca) held its official opening tournament at Loch March today. With sunny skies and a temperature of 25 degrees, 150 players were treated to a picture perfect day at one of the region’s top courses.

“Scheduling big tournaments is always a little nerve-racking”, said EG vice president, Andy Rajhathy. “I guess the worst case scenario is cold, wet and windy – or maybe a tornado – but we really lucked out this time. All you can do is schedule it and hope Mother Nature is in a good mood on the day of your event.”

Ironically, the tournament is intended as the official launch to the outdoor season; however, Executive Golf – who also conducts The Slammer Tour match-play golf league – held its first official event of 2012 back on March 17^th at Prescott Golf Club.

The EG Opener presented players with their choice of social or competitive golf format, a buffet dinner and a plethora of skill-based and random prize draws for goodies courtesy of two-dozen sponsors.

“This tournament directly supports our mission to promote the game to golfers of all levels,” said Jamie Ryan, EG president. “We have beginners who just want to have fun, and real competitors who are out to win – and they’re all carefully intertwined at the event to keep things balanced.

In addition to the sponsor prizes, another big winner is the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Eastern Ontario, who received $1,135.00 from this event alone – in addition to the season running contribution so far of $831 via The Slammer Tour. Slammer Tour members donate 50 cents for each three-putt on tour and this, combined with all EG events, resulted in a $7,500 donation in 2011.

2012 EG Opener Prize Winners

• Scramble Format Low Score: Eric Daigle Roger Hudson (Five-Under Par)
• Longest Drive (Ladies): Cathy Lumsden
• Longest Drive (Men): Vishal Patel
• Closest-To-The-Pin (Ladies): Cheryl Hill
• Closest-To-The-Pin (Men): Jason Snelgrove
• $5,000 Hole-In-One: n/a
• Closest-To-The-Bud Light Six-Packs: Laurie Howland, Ron Allenby and Terry Moore

Executive Golf is a golf club that allows its members to play 40+ Ottawa-Gatineau courses and conducts year-round social and competitive events, including The Slammer Tour, a variety of leagues and golf get-aways and the Ottawa Sun Scramble. In 2012, Evolution Golf of Brockville, Ontario, has partnered with Executive Golf in an effort to promote the Canadian Tour’s Great Waterway Classic event at Smuggler’s Glen Golf Course – and to be the official ticket distributors. David Dargie of Evolution Golf participated in the event and made a presentation on the importance of supporting Canadian Golf.

The response was so amazing for Executive Golf’s il Primo Ristorante Golf Getaway to Binghamton and Syracuse in April that EG has updated the trip’s transportation plans.

“The getaway sold out fast, so we’ve added a second bus,” said EG organizers. “There are now 40 more spots for players - members and non-members - who can join us from April 13-15 to play two rounds at the Conklin Players Club and a third on Timber Banks, which was designed by Jack Nicklaus.”

Ottawa Sun Scramble bigger, better

Top field split into Open, A; D division also added

Monday, January 23, 2012, By Tim Baines, Ottawa Sun

It's hard to believe, but the Ottawa Sun Scramble City Champinship Week is moving on up again.
The region's biggest golf event has grown from two single-round events in 2005 to a major week-long festival of golf with 648 spots for competitors, in 11 partner events.

And you don't have to be a pro to play. Different divisions allow for golfers to compete alongside others who score similarly. 

Direct tournament registration opens March 1, but competitors who made the cut in 2011 (in any division) can register immediately at ottawasunscramble.com. The 2012 tournament offers two new classes at both ends of the spectrum: the GolfWorks A and D Division City Championships.

"The Ottawa-Gatineau golf market is huge," said tournament director and president of Executive Golf, Jamie Ryan. "We want to give everyone an opportunity to experience competition at their own level and that's why we continue to refine the divisions, to keep it as competitive as possible." 

The 2011 championships saw a major upset when, after winning seven straight Open titles, Allen McGee and Kyle Koski were knocked off their perch by newcomers Curtis Dancy and Robert Mustard who won by four strokes. 

Both teams intend to return.

Courses and dates announced for 2012 Ottawa Sun Scramble

Ottawa-Gatineau’s largest golf tournament
11 city championships at nine courses over seven days in August
 

January 24, 2012 – Ottawa, Ontario. The biggest golf event in the region, Ottawa Sun Scramble City Championship Week, has grown from just two single-round events in 2005 to a major weeklong festival of golf with an expected 700 competitors in 11 partner events targeting every type of golfer, from beginner to professional.

Direct tournament registration opens March 1, 2012; however, competitors who made the cut in 2011 (in any division) can register as of today at ottawasunscramble.com.

The 2012 tournament offers two new classes at both ends of the spectrum: the GolfWorks A and D Division City Championships. “The Ottawa-Gatineau golf market is huge”, said tournament director and president of Executive Golf, Jamie Ryan. “We want to give everyone an opportunity to experience competition at their own level and that’s why we continue to refine the divisions, to keep it as competitive as possible. Everyone who enters will have a chance to win their division”.

The 2011 championships saw a major upset when after winning six straight Open titles, Allen McGee and Kyle Koski finally met their match with newcomers Curtis Dancy and Robert Mustard who won by four strokes after round two at Eagle Creek. 2012 promises to be tense as both teams intend to return.

“Robert and I will most definitely be back to defend the title,” said Dancy. “Last year was our first time in the tournament and we had an absolute blast. Our goal is to better our winning score. It seems like a longshot as we both played near perfect golf, but it's another year and anything can happen.”

McGee was more to the point, and slightly less humble: “We will be there and we will not lose!”
 

Ryan explained the decision for splitting up the upper field into Open and A divisions: “We want all divisions to be as competitive as possible and since we’re seeing more professionals enter the tournament, the need to create another class has become apparent. The Flagstick Open is now only for pros and amateurs with handicap factors of 3.9 or less or scoring averages of 77 or less. The new GolfWorks A Division is for amateurs with handicap factors between 4.0 and 9.9 or scoring averages between 78 and 84.”

“We are excited about becoming the title sponsor of the Open Division,” said Jeff Bauder, president and publisher of Flagstick Golf Magazine. “It’s no secret that this has become one of the most talked about events on the calendar and the Open Division delivers a lot of drama. Flagstick will be able to add even more hype through our many promotional avenues and we can't wait to help elevate this event to an even higher level through this new partnership.”

The rationale for a D Division (100+ scoring average) has also become clear, especially considering the vast majority of public golfers are not A or even B-classers. “Competition is relative. All competitors now have a legitimate chance to win their division,” said Ryan.
The tournament was first launched in 2005 with an Open and Senior event at Eagle Creek Golf Club, but now offers 10 two-round partner divisions plus the Régimbal Media Challenge and three qualifying events.

The event is conducted by local golf promotion company, Executive Golf (executivegolf.ca), and is a scramble format where both players take a shot and the best of the two is used, from the tee box, on the fairway, in the rough, in bunkers, hazards and on the green.

All divisions are two-round events with a cut after the first (excluding the Media Challenge) and teams that make the cut play for their respective city title on either Championship Saturday at Club de Golf Outaouais (Promomedia B, Absolute Comedy C, D and Ladies C) or Championship Sunday at Eagle Creek Golf Club (Flagstick Open, Ladies, Ladies B, Investors Group Senior, Junior Open and the GolfWorks A). 

Executive Golf provides over $30,000 in EG Memberships (any competitor who makes the cut receives a $285 membership to Executive Golf), along with more than $15,000 in sponsor prizing for the top finishers and contest winners. There are cash prizes for the top professionals.
 

Also returning for 2012 is the “Bud Light Million Dollar Ace” where competitors and members of the public have a chance to be drawn to shoot for the loot during Royal Oak Kick-Off Day at Falcon Ridge Golf Course on August 3rd. This pre-tournament event includes a skills and tricks clinic, Slammer Tour match-play events, the Media Challenge, an outdoor golf show and a host of contests and other events. Kick-Off Day is free for the public to attend.

The tournament organizers are pleased to welcome the following new courses and sponsors to 2012 Ottawa Sun Scramble City Championship Week: eQuinelle Golf Club, Dragonfly Golf Links, Pine View, GolfWorks Canada, Flagstick Golf Magazine, Investors Group and Absolute Comedy.
