The 14th annual Blue and White Golf Classic was held at the Bath Golf Club on June 12.
Over 180 sponsors and 200 golfers contributed $41,000 to the Morse High School Scholarship fund in the name of this year’s 50th Morse High School reunion class, the Class of 1965. This included $11,000 toward the Elford “Brud” Stover Scholarship, awarded for the first time this year to a Morse High School graduate.
Opening festivities around the first tee included the recognition of this year’s Morse scholarship recipients, the playing of “The Blue and the White” and the National Anthem by the Morse High School band, and the naming of this year’s Honorary Chairpersons of the Blue and White Golf Committee, Dave Bourque, Dan Donovan and Skip Stinson. Bourque, former longtime sports editor of The Times Record, and Donovan, were named posthumously. They were recognized for their support of both the Bath area community and Morse High School in their lifetimes.
Stinson, also a strong supporter of Bath and Morse, is the current president of the Morse High School Scholarship Fund trustees and chair of the Bath Lodge of Elks Babine Scholarship Fund.

Top Gross Score — Tom Perry, Jim Comeau, Kent Higgins, Ed McLaughlin and Jason Marco.
Second place — Todd Marco, Rick Marco, Mark Harrington, Mike Andrew and Gaius Hennin.
