The Clyde Flinn Memorial Golf Tournament is named after a former Ottawa Paramedic who lost his battle with cancer in 1992. The Clyde Flinn Memorial Golf Tournament is very popular amongst paramedics and draws participants from all over Ontario and Quebec. “It is always an overwhelming success,” reports Advanced Care Paramedic Rodney Hamberger. “Our paramedics love volunteering for a good cause like this and it isn’t unusual for this tournament to raise over $3000 for local charities”. This year’s tournament will be held at The Greensmere Golf and County Club (near Carp) on Monday August 21st, 2006. It is slated to commence with a shotgun start at 09:00.
