A beautiful, chilly morning welcomed golfers to the 2009 Catfish Classic. Over 80 people participated in the 5th annual golf tournament which rose close to $60,000 for the Jim “Catfish” Hunter Chapter of The ALS Association.
The TPC Wakefield Plantation Golf Course in Raleigh welcomed golfers from throughout the state. After a quick bite to eat and a few practice swings at the driving range, golfers hopped in their golf carts and began the event. After their round of golf, participants were treated to a catered lunch, a silent auction, which offered an opportunity to bid on World Series tickets, and a presentation about ALS and the Catfish Chapter. That Catfish Chapter welcomed Dr. Bedlack from the Duke ALS Clinic and Larry Kincaid, a Person with ALS, to share their experiences with the disease.
A very special thanks to the Catfish Classic Planning Committee: Wes Hare, Ken Penkowski, Cameron Macon, Terry Beal, Jill Rusinko, and Jake Fehling for planning such a wonderful event. Their commitment to the Chapter is greatly appreciated.
