The fourth annual Jim Tanner Caddy Classic was played on Tuesday July 6, 2010 with temperatures reaching 102. We had 72 players in the morning and 92 in the afternoon. Although the heat was a factor for some, a few performed exceptionally well. The afternoon foursome of Peter O’Neill, Les Kennedy, Jr., Steve O’Brien, and Bob Pommenville scored a gross 61 or 8 under par. Kevin Fortin noted that Les Sr. had accomplished that score on his own ball with a double bogey on the sixth. That course record stands today. (www.jimtannercaddyclassic.com)

Peter O’Neill scored an individual low gross of 66. Bob Kando scored a personal best with a 73. Jim Quinn played his first JT Classic recording a 78, another personal record after driving from his home in New Jersey the day earlier.

The featured foursome for the day included Jim Tanner, Norm Lutz, Stan Abrams and Stan Baluik.

Terrence O’Neill was introduced as the first Jim Tanner Scholar. Terry will be attending URI in the fall. Also receiving Burke Fund Scholarships were Michael S. Capineri, who just finished his freshman year at Boston College and Julia G. Spencer. Julia will be attending the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst. The three scholars work at Pawtucket Country Club.

The common threads among the participants in the Jim Tanner Caddy Classic are caddying and playing at Pawtucket Country Club. Many consider Jim Tanner a mentor and all consider JT a good friend. Jim recently was inducted into the Professional Caddy Hall of Fame recognizing over 60 years of service at Pawtucket Country Club. Other members of the PCA Hall include Gene Sarazen, Francis Ouimet, Eddie Lowery, Harvey Pennick, and Mike “Fluff” Cowan. (www.pcaworldwide.com)

Special thanks to all our contributors that helped us raise $9,000 for the Jim Tanner Scholarship this year.
