     Dave Porter, Kirt Stockley, Scott Dewitt and Corey Campbell led the tournament wire-to-wire and comfortably finished with the best gross score. Ethan Annis, Mark Chevalier, Scott McKusick and Danny White had the best overall net score, with Fred Andrews, Dana Fadley, Ashley Jackins and Wayne Strout not far behind.
    Ten players from the field qualified for a $50,000 shootout sponsored by Solutions Consulting. A few players came close to holing out from 150 yards, but no one was able to cash in.
    Pine Tree Hospice’s next major fundraiser will be the always-popular Sound Bites event, an evening featuring wonderful food and music. Sound Bites will be held in the Foxcroft Academy gymnasium on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 7-9 pm.
