GNCC Snowshoe Charity Golf
Tournament Crowns New Champions
Snowshoe, WV (9/16/2008)
- The sixth-annual Can-Am Grand National
Cross Country Series Charity Golf Tournament delivered
the usual array of skilled and unskilled golf
talent along with a nice pile of donations for
the Rider Down Foundation, a non-profit organization
that raises funds for injured bike and ATV racers.
Snowshoe Mountain Resort hosted the tournament
on their challenging 18-hole Raven course the
Friday before the weekend's GNCC race. Team KTM,
consisting of mechanics Don Macan, Chad Henderson,
Paul Nixon and David "Hollywood" Cripe,
romped home as champions of the scramble. For
their efforts, the team collected four Ogio Golf
Bags, and their names will be attached to the
GNCC Golf Tournament traveling trophy.
In addition, a few holes were designated to
test skills. Closest to the Hole competitions
were topped by Topper Morain (Hole 3), Jason Hooper
(Hole 6), Steve Toth (Hole 12) and Amy Andrews
(Hole 14). Elliot Skaggs, Team Yamaha mechanic
for eight-time GNCC Champion Bill Ballance, won
the longest drive contest at Hole 5.
In all, over 40 golfers participated despite
threats of rain throughout the day. In addition,
GNCC sponsors pitched in $250 sponsorships for
each hole on the course, with 100 percent of the
funds donated to the Rider Down Foundation. The
sponsored holes generated approximately $4000
for the Foundation. For more information on the
