The 2001 Charity Golf Classic was held at the Carstairs Community Golf Course August 13, 2001. As the tournament started, scorching temperatures greeted the 31 teams that participated. Half way through, mother nature put on a spectacular light show and thunder storm. The rain delay gave many participants a chance to quench their thirsts and swap tales.

Following golf, a western barbeque and charity fundraiser were held at the Davis-Rairdan Embryo Transplant Centre. After a fabulous meal, mother nature once again provided some interesting and tense moments. The charity fundraiser was a resounding success. In the end over $20,000 was raised for the foundation to support youth and agriculture and provided a wonderful day to golf with friendly competition for those celebrating Scott Rairdan's memory.

A big thanks goes to all participants, the sponsors, fundraiser and prize donors, and all bidders and buyers. Also, thanks to Frank Mapletoft for taking the photos. We are greatful that you choose to support this important event.
