The Pontiac Elks Golf Course is awesome. At 6300 yards it's probably the longest course for seniors around. Dennis, George, Bobby, Don, & "Doc" were all in the Money.There was a scare though, when they couldn't find Bobby. A few minutes later he emerged from the rough and he explained he went to visit the Wizard. Now I wonder, "Why doesn't our Lodge have a Wizard? We have a Pianist!"2009 IEA State Golf TournamentThe 2009 Elks State Golf Tournament was held on July 17, 18, & 19 in Lincoln, IL.Centralia Lodge # 493 had 8 members playing in the seniors division on Friday; Dean Bain, Dennis Finley, George Gray, Tom Gray, Bob Logullo, Don Rightnowar, Lloyd Wert, & Ed Williams.
