On September 5, 2017, Carman Golf and Curling Club hosted the 2017 Ye Olde Rusty Classic. One hundred and forty golfers enjoyed the “breezy” weather, good golf and great food. As usual, old friends were reunited and new friends were created. The tournament featured two “hole-in-one’’ contests for a lease on a new car from Carman Ford and $5000 in merchandise from Janzen Pontiac in Carman. The Carman Veterinary Clinic donated $100 for “closest to the pin on old #2 hole.” ¡
