Oil Patch Bits: Petroleum Club golf tournament hits a hole in one

The 2009 Petroleum Club of Anchorage golf tournament took place July 16-17 at the Moose Run and Anchorage golf courses. This year the tournament partnered with The First Tee of Alaska and featured a pro-golf auction at the kickoff party. The First Tee program provides young people of all backgrounds an opportunity to develop life enhancing values such as confidence, perseverance and judgment through golf and character development. The program has had more than 200 youth participants and has introduced the game of golf to 400-plus students via The First Tee national school program. The program introduces The First Tee’s nine core values into a physical education curriculum in elementary schools using the game of golf as its platform. The auction featured Bryan Anderson, Brandon Dubinsky, Rich Lundahl, Rob Nelson, Scott Taylor and club champion Billy Bomar.
