On June 29, 2015, The Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce held its annual Dr. Cary Harbrecht Memorial Summer Scramble and Golden Heroes Classic Golf Tournaments.

This was the 16th year that the Chamber held the tournament in remembrance of Dr. Cary Harbrecht, who became a member of the Wilson County Chamber of Commerce in 1972. Dr. Harbrecht served on the Chamber Board of Directors and as Membership Vice Chair from 1984-1985, served on the General Service Committee, and was founder and chairman of the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber Golf Tournament. Dr. Harbrecht passed away approximately two weeks prior to the first annual tournament. Following his passing, the Chamber Board passed a resolution, in his memory, to name the tournament “The Dr. Cary Harbrecht Memorial Golf Tournament”.

As always, time on the green was well spent, just as Dr. Harbrecht would have wished.

The winners of this year’s Golden Heroes Classic were Gary Poling, TJ Mikoletic, Dan McChurch, and Tim Ray and the winners of the Dr. Cary Harbrecht Memorial Summer Scramble were Ray Edwards, Rob Browning, Eric Thompson, and Mark Purvis.

The Chamber would like to extend a big thanks to all tournament sponsors, all tournament participants, to Five Oaks Golf & Country Club for offering a great venue for the tournament, and to anyone else who played a role in making such a great day possible.
