Lingan's Ryan Boutilier strung together under par rounds of 66 and 71 to capture his first Central Building Supplies Home Builders Championship.   Battling a strong field and extremely hot conditions Boutilier was able to extend his first round lead of 2 strokes into a commanding 5 shot advantage and close with a home hole birdie to defeat Lingan's Junior Club Champion Brett McKinnon by 4.  Boutilier dedicated his victory to long time Lingan member and past president Maurice Gouthro who passed away earlier this year.

TWO COURSES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

Lingan has the distinction of offering its members play at two championship courses for the price of an adult or couples' membership fee. In 2009, Lingan partnered with Bell Bay Golf Club to allow Lingan members full playing privileges on both courses. Again in 2010, Lingan members will have unlimited golfing at Bell Bay and access to Bell Bay invitational tournaments at the members' rate. (Some restrictions may apply to tournament play).
