Late in August, the University Golf Club played host to the inaugural Flora Aasen Memorial Alzheimer Pro-Am. Lower Mainland golfers will be familiar with the Aasen name through Flora's son, John, who has been Director of Teaching at University Golf Club for the past 11 years.

With John's contacts in the pro golf community, they were able to attract a good number of pros from around the province.  

During the cocktail hour, Brad Ewart, host of TV's "The Golf Show", put on a show displaying the trick shot expertise that had him traveling the world during  his professional playing days.

Top Professional Scores Place Players Prize T 1-68 Kyle German / Mark Cuipka $2,600 each T 2-69 Scott Rodgers / Dave Bolton / Mike Longridge $1,550 each

America West Airlines gave two trips for auction while Carter GM sponsored the hole-in-one prizes plus was a platinum sponsor. In all over $10,000 in amateur prizes were available.

The tournament was followed by steak and salmon BBQ, reception and live auction. 

One of the high points of the evening definitely was the musical stylings of Warren Stanyer, golf columnist, University Golf Club member and professional singer.

Overall, the event raised over $50,000 and on behalf of the Alzheimer Society, Rose-Marie Goodwin spoke glowingly of the Aasens' efforts in supporting their mandate, "The Alzheimer Society is proud to be the recipient of the proceeds of this tournament. It will be an annual tribute in support of all people affected by this deadly disease. The society is overwhelmed by its success in the first year. We look forward to working with this family for years to come to honour Flora's life."
