T.I. Hosts 10th Annual Golf Tournament


Team Aarluk - Darcey Morin, Chris Grosset,
Michelle Turpin and Hunter Tootoo
"If he's got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don't hire him." Those wise words were shared by Lou Holtz, a now retired football coach from Notre Dame...Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Ok, I digress. However, fortunately for the golf nuts at the Consilium, Aarluk and Stonecircle office, most have never heard of the revered coach and it's OK if you want to bring your golf clubs wherever you go, such as golf tournaments.

On June 29, Tungasuvvingat Inuit (T.I.) held its 10th annual golf tournament. In attendance were Michelle Turpin and Chris Grosset from Consilium and Aarluk as well as Kory Goulais from Stonecircle. Ironically, this year, although each comes from the same office they did not play on the same team.

Kory committed to the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) team long before the tournament team for Aarluk was created. Despite seeing ill effects of his decision leading up to the tournament, Kory remained true to his initial team selection. Hunter Tootoo joined the Aarluk team for a second year in a row. With Kory defecting to team MNO, Aarluk needed a fourth player. After pulling a few strings last minute, Aarluk was able to pull in a “ringer” named Darcy Morin. Those who are very familiar with the charity golf tournament tour will know who he is.

The tournament took place at the beautiful Anderson Links golf course, on a very hot and windy Friday afternoon. In the MNO vs. Aarluk competition, Aarluk came out the victors with a 6 under par for the tournament. Team MNO finished with a 3 over par and probably about 37 lost balls. The eventual tournament winners (two teams) finished with a score of 10 under par each. This was most satisfying to Kory because if he doesn’t win he doesn’t want to know the people who do!

All in all a beautiful day of marketing, err, golf.
