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 Rider Down Foundation, visit www.riderdown.org.
