| Despite the inclement weather, 68 hearty golfers made it 
												out to the 6th Annual Harvard Orthopaedic Golf Outing held at the Sandy 
												Burr Country Club on May 28th, 2004. The monsoon-like conditions in the 
												morning could not dampen the spirits of these orthopaedic surgeons, who 
												on this day gave up the knife for a golf club. By the 2nd hole, the 
												conditions were near perfect, with the sun shining high and bright.  However, nobody was safe on this day--least of all an 
												unwitting largemouth bass, which was taken out by a smouldering 30-yard 
												fish-bound drive by Samantha Spencer. Sam would eventually win the 
												Barry Simmons Award for the most outrageous moment of the day.
 Some of the other award winners of the day included Dave 
												Cashen (longest drive, men), Susie Stewart (longest drive, women), Karl 
												Schultz (closest to pin) and Sean Rassman (most dangerous golfer). The 
												winning team of Lars Richardson, Steve Matheos, John Bonnell and Mark 
												Price shot a low score of 11 under par. Joe Czarnecki, Bob O'Toole, Sean Rassman, Renn Crichlow 
												and Lauren Ellis did a wonderful job organizing this year's outing. Our 
												tradition of camaraderie outside of the hospital continues to grow, and 
												we look forward to next year's event.
