New Gloucester, ME – More than seventy golfers enjoyed an 18-hole tour of the Falmouth Country Club on Monday while raising funds to support the US Biathlon Team, as well as NENSA (New England Nordic Ski Association).
Golfers at this third annual US Biathlon Golf Fundraiser enjoyed an 18-hole scramble competition on a breezy, but otherwise spectacular early fall day.
Lowell Bailey (Lake Placid, NY) and Walt Shepard (Brunswick, ME) represented the US Biathlon Team. Bailey teamed up with US Biathlon Chairman Larry Pugh, USBA Athlete Representative Chad Salmela, and Owen Wells of the Libra Foundation to take third in the net score category. The team of Dana Bullen, Mike Roy, Ed Ervin, and USBA Board member Bill Alfond took top honors in that category.
The top team on the links in the gross score category included (ex-professional golfer) Mary Ann Levins, her daughter (and promising biathlete) Keely Levins, Roger Hill, and USBA Executive Director Max Cobb. Cobb deferred credit for the team’s success to the Levin’s family. “It was great fun out there today, but Marianne and Keely deserve most of the credit. Marianne had a big eagle on a par four hole while Keely, who is a top high golfer in Vermont, added some excellent shots which helped our score.â€
