One such tournament, the Bernhardt Insurance Golf Classic, has its fourth annual edition July 14 at Conestoga Country Club. All proceeds from the event are directed to Camp McGovern, the Ontario Summer Camp for Big and Little Brothers north of Orangeville. The first three years have resulted in $60,000 being directed for the camp, which allows many Little Brothers the opportunity to enjoy a camping experience they otherwise would never "It‘s just a great tournament," a prominent Waterloo golfer echoed at last year‘s event.

It‘s the same, as stated, with virtually every tournament on the "From the outset, we were determined to deliver a firstâ€"class, fun event," said Bernhardt Insurance Golf Classic chairman John Thompson. "We‘ve devalop:d':flhuummmm golfer, of their skill or financial status, the ability to enjoy a highâ€"profile tournament and all that goes with it at an extremely reasonable cost." The Bernhardt Classic is uniquely set up in that golfers make a direct $150 tax deductible donation to Camp McGovern.

"Our committee has an excellent blend, everyone involved really has a solid reason for being there," said Thompson. "Some are involved for the love of the sport or the desire to give something back to the community, while others represent the Big Brother interests for Camp McGovern." Playing no small role in the Classic is the tournaâ€" ment sponsor, Bill Bernhardt of Bernhardt Insurâ€" ance Service. When the seeds of the tournament were planted four years ago, Bernhardt stepped out of the pack to back the event with a fiveâ€"year comâ€" mitment. "Bill really believes in our event, especially the support it brings to the Big Brother organization, and to have that aspect of the event taken care of, really takes a load of our committee so we can focus on other aspects," said Thompson. Far from a passive sponsor, Bernhardt is actively ily and staff also play a big role on tournament day. The Waterloo Chronicle is coâ€"sponsor for the event, and it says here Thompson is spot on when brings. I, like most of the others committee members, have been in it for the long haul, and working with so many motivated, caring people is one of my perâ€" sonal and professional joys. Whether it‘s the fabuâ€" lous work being done to scoop prizes, lasso celebrities, look after the food and fun, plan the logistics, or oversee the entire shooting match, it‘s a class act working together for a great cause. Golfers come to tournaments for competition, for fun, for good times, and to leave their "other world" behind for a day. The people behind the scenes who make that happen, in the dozens of charity events like the Bernhardt Classic, wouldn‘t have it any Maue, and the final session will offer personal video taping. In addition, all participants will receive a videop.chpoflllh.omnpedhhflntd} ence and review. Cost of the program is $214 includâ€" ingnflumandflnda-islimiï¬edtothoï¬mm signâ€"ups.
