More than $50,000 raised at
second annual golf tournament
By EMILY HANSON
Though he played foot-
ball as . a record-setting
quarterback for the Miami
Hurricanes from 1951-1953
and coached football at the
high school and college
level from 1956-1992, Don
James showed off his golf-
ing skills at the Alderbrook
Golf Course this week.
James served as the ce-
lebrity golfer of the second
annual Love In the Name
of Christ (Love INC) Golf
Tournament on Monday.
Prior to the tournament,
James answered questions
regarding his support of
Love INC, his thoughts on
Mason County, golfing with
his wife Carrol and foot-
ball.
"Since I retired in '93,
we've done a lot of tourna-
ments," James said. "I get
invited to just about every
one. Coming in last year,
I didn't know everything
(Love INC was) doing. Now,
if I dropped all of my chari-
ties, I'd keep this one, if
they kept inviting me back."
Love INC of Mason
County is a 501(c)(3) non-
profit that mobilizes local
churches to assist those in
need. A phone center takes
the calls of potential cli-
ents whose needs are then
verified. After verfication,
Love INC assists its clients
to the best of its ability to
meet those needs.
James said he and his
wife were touched by Ma-
son County last year and
were glad to be back this
year.
"We're hoping this will
be the Don James annual
tournament," Golf Steering
Committee Chairman Bill
Kendrick said.
James spoke about the
Husky Stadium renova-
tions and stated he was
happy to see the work be-
gin. He spoke about the
state of the stadium when
he was head coach:
"If you sat in our west
end zone, I don't know how
you could see the games,"
James said. ',The tunnel
was caving in and Carrol
took the elevator to the
press box every game; I
wasn't sure she'd make it."
Carrol James said the
elevator would rock back
and forth during the verti-
cal journey.
Don James spoke about
the new coaches at UW
and about the state of the
football program at Wash-
ington State University as
well.
"I like the new coaches
(at UW) and we'll see a lot
of home games," James
said. "WSU has a pretty
good coach who can move
the ball and he's got some
good quarterbacks. If he
can get some protection,
they'll do fine."
Just before the tourna-
ment began, Carrol James
said she loves golfing with
her husband.
"He'll pick up right away

Golf Tournament.
on what I'm doing wrong,"
she said. "My game im-
proves from playing with
him."
She and her husband
were so impressed by Love
INC last year that they've
spread the word about the
organization.
"Every time we go some
place, we tell everybody
about this place and this
tournament," she said.
Don James and his wife
golfed with Drew MacE-
wen and Rob Snyder and
tied for second place in the
non-hadicap division with a
combined score of 61. The
other second place team
consisted of Bert Fisher,
Joe Roberts0n, Gary Bur-
leson and Mark Eichhorn.
The winning non-hadicap
division team was Mike
Silvey, Frank Bartenetti,
James Tibbetts and Mark
Olson with a score of 56.
In the handicap division,
Jack Deiglmeier, Jay Deigl-
meier, Keri Deiglmeier and
Jerry Clausen tied for first
place with the E1 Sarape
Team (names not available)
and the team that consisted
of Jeff McHargue, Rebecca
Jonas, Pete Skogstad and
Jill Skogstad. Each of the
three teams finished with a
score of 50.
The KP winner on hole
No. 6 was Riley Lewis for
the men with a distance of
10 feet, 7 inches whiIe Pam
Ward won for the women
with a distance of 3 feet, 5
inches.
The KP winner for hole
No. 12 for the men was
from the E1 Sarape team
with a distance of 9 feet, 6
inches and for the women
was Cathy Moxley with a
distance of 13 feet, 9 inches.
Clausen won the KP
on hole No. 6 for the men
with a distance of 7 feet: 10
inches while Asue Barnes
won for the women with a
distance of 19 feet, 6 inches.
The long drive winner
for hole No. 11 was Rick
Endicott for the men while
Keri Deig!meier Segale won
for the women.
The closest to the line
on hole No. 15 winner was
Silvey for the men and Kim
Pokela for the women.
Finally, the long putt
winner for the men was
Tom Swift with a putt of 18
feet, 3 inches and Moxley
with a putt of 6 feet for the
women.
"The tournament went
well, the dinner was full
and everybody seemed to
have a good time," Kend-
rick said. "Everything went
very smoothly for us."
Final numbers for how
much was raised were not
available by Tuesday. Golf
Steering Committee mem-
ber Virginia McCarty esti-
mated the gross total, be-
fore subtracting expenses,
at $55,000.
"What I thought was
great was that we were still
able to raise money from
people out of the area who
really believe in what we
do and want to see Mason
County helped," McCarty
said.
Most of the money do-
nated to Love INC came
from the Seattle area, a fact
that McCarty attributed to
Kendrick's connections in
Seattle.
"It really warmed my
heart to see the Seattle peo-
ple help out," she said. "The
total is about where it was
last year."
From the funds raised
at last year's tournament,
Love INC was able to help
430 adults and 335 children
in the Mason County'com-
munity, Kendrick said.
"It was a great day, the
weather cooperated and we
had a full course of golfers,"
McCarty said.
