On May 18, 2009, about 140 avid golfers of all experience levels participated in the 22nd Annual Seagull Golf Classic Tournament in sunny Southern California. The tournament took place on the picturesque Old Ranch Country Club golf course in Seal Beach. WFB&M volunteers manned the course, providing drinks, contests and prizes. A hearty box lunch was generously provided to all of the golfers by sponsor Lockton Insurance Brokers, LLC. After a full day of golfing, the event culminated with family and friends gathering for a dinner and auction. The low gross first place winners of the tournament, and recipients of the perpetual Bocci memorial trophy, were Rad Bowman, Jesse Machado, Cole David and Jon Eric Hernandez, who traveled across the ocean from Catalina Island to participate in the event. Winners of the low net first place trophies were Gene Hatz, Jeff Hatz, Jason Hatz and Todd Landreth.

The Seagull tournament is held annually to raise money for the research, treatment, and prevention of juvenile diabetes. The event began twenty-two years ago as a casual gathering organized by partners Ron Bevins, Mike McCall, and their softball team, the Seagulls. Over the years, the proceeds from the tournament have benefited the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Children's Hospital of Orange County.

WFB&M would like to thank everyone for their continued support and participation in this tournament. We look forward to meeting again in 2010 for another great event!
