GALT Events Ken Smith Memorial Golf Tournament 2011

Ken Smith Memorial Goft Tournament

May 17, 2011
Presontwood Country Club
Plano, TX

GALT's newest Board Member, Fred Busche, is very active in the community as a soccer referee. He and his fellow referees started a charity golf tournament a few years ago after their friend and mentor, Ken Smith, died unexpectedly at a relatively young age. The Ken Smith Memorial Scramble provides the necessary resources to fully fund a Scholarship program for soccer referees.

Fred and his wife, Diane - adopters of GALT's very first greyhound, Apollo (a/k/a Magellan), as well as 4 other GALT dogs (Scotty, Baby, Destiny, and Lucille) -- were kind enough to pay a hole sponsorship fee on GALT's behalf for this year's Ken Smith Memorial Scramble, held at Prestonwood Country Club's Hills course in Plano on Tuesday, May 17th. GALT had a premier location on the 10th hole and passed out snacks, koozies and GALT brochures as each golf group made the turn. It was a super event for spreading awareness about the joys of greyhound adoption. Many thanks to Fred and Diane, in addition to our GALT volunteers who brought dogs to the event:

• Ellie and Stew Brenner - Rolex and Flux Capacitor
• Barbara Christian - Hondo and Julie
• Melody McLaughlin - Sandy and Russell
• John and Susie McQuade - Patti Blu and Misty Rose
