Taking Aim At The Mayor

A unique dockside golf event took place at the Knowlton Marina and it gave everyone in Brome Lake who ever wanted to have a shot at Mayor Wisdom the perfect chance. Mayor Wisdom became a human floating target aboard a sailboat anchored off the docks and golfers could purchase a bucket of balls and tee up on the floating docks and take their best shot at Wisdom and try and get a hole in one!

Proceeds go to the Brome Lake volunteer firefighters. The marina has been running the tee-off event on Fridays and the special Thursday evening event featuring the mayor on the 30 foot sail boat saw record crowds. The Marina bar and terrasse were packed as people cheered the golfers on to victory!

While many golfers seemed to have had a few too many cold beverages which affected their swing and accuracy one fellow, Sebastien, who is pictured here obviousely had his game face on as he was able to land a direct hit to the sail boat! Of course Mr. Wisdom was able to dodge the ball but it sent a cheer up from the crowd when the ball made a loud "clank" as it struck the vessel!

Gerry Moar, who is the owner of the Marina plans to bring in even more interesting targets in the future as more and more people are coming for the lakeside driving range driving as far from Granby for the chance to belt a few balls into Brome Lake.
