The Longest Day of Golf, sponsored by The Southwest Chronic Disease Support Group took place this past Tuesday June 21 at the Rock Creek Golf and Country Club at Shaunavon.

Four golfers worked to gather pledges and golfed a total of 51 holes throughout the day from 9 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.

Vic Ross of Shaunavon was one of the golfers who took part.

"It's their major fundraiser for this very worthy cause and we're happy to do it. And it was terrific weather, maybe  better than most, and by all accounts it was successful."

Other golfers taking part included Rick Nicholson, Darrell Amon and Michael Thienes.

The Southwest Chronic Disease Support Group gives financial assistance to seriously ill people throughout the southwest.

The total raised this year was approximately $5800.
