WHEN Scott Beyer lost his brave battle with cancer in April this year, he left behind two young children and his wife Corinne.
Scott was just 31 years old and was a talented golfer, a member of Ocean Grove’s Senior Pennant team and was a past junior and senior club champion.
Ocean Grove Golf Club decided it was not going to forget Scott and held the inaugural Scott Beyer Memorial Shield late last month. The event also incorporated the occasion as a fund-raiser for Scott’s charity – Relay For Life.
The club wanted to raise $5000, but ended up collecting $7068.
John Filia won the shield and Dean Gills won the social journey.
Club captain Alistair Bird and Alistair Grant organised the day and did a superb job.
