Another beautiful day on the links!
2005 MIM Scholarship Golf Outing Highlights

The weather couldn't have been better for the enthusiastic golfers who participated in the Annual Masonry Institute of Michigan Golf Outing at the Dunham Hills Golf Course, in Hartland, Michigan. Everyone who came out to play in support of MIM's Scholarship Foundation enjoyed a spectacular day!

John Nardone (Best Block), Kathy Brzys (ESSROC) and Mike Rupp (Rupp Masonry) chat about an exciting day ahead.

Larry Durkin (Durkin & Company Contractors) explains to his group that hole 10 is a dogleg left.

Taking a break from selling 50/50 are John Nardone (Best Block) and Kathy Brzys (Essroc). John, Kathy, and MIM’s Kelly Walker combined sold $1658 in 50/50 tickets…the highest pot in MIM history! Thanks to everyone and a very special thanks to Bill Moler from Nawkaw Corporation who had the winning ticket and donated all the money back to the MIM Scholarship Foundation. Way to go, Bill!

Larry Durkin (Durkin & Company Contractors) says, “It’s Limbo Time! How low can you go!?”

Ron Martinuzzi (Motor City Masonry), Jim “Rock” Weinrauch (National Block) and Thom Magna (Best Block) take a moment to smile.

Tony Rea (National Block), “Jimmy D” DiGiovanni (Gibraltar National/Spec Mix) and Gurinder Girn (Lafarge North America) are ready to take on Dunham Hills and score below par.

What a group!

Rick Boris (Colonial Brick – a General Shale Company) prepares to swing while his team backs up out of range.

Larry Durkin (Durkin & Company Contractors) had time to spare before the fairway cleared and decided to do the Hokey Pokey: Stick your left arm in…stick your left arm out…”

“Hit it that way…no..that way…” was heard from John Connolly (Connolly Masonry), John Griffiths (Euro Masonry), Bill Barker (St. Marys Cement).

Patiently waiting for the ball to drop….out of the tree!

MIM’s CPA, Larry Shoemaker tries to dig himself out of this one. He must’ve done well since his team had the mystery score and each person in the foursome won $25! Good job!
