Successful day celebrating the CTMA’s 26^th Annual Golf Tournament

June 4 2024 marked the Canadian Tooling & Machining Association’s (CTMA) 26th Annual Shotgun Golf Tournament,  held at Pine Knot Golf & Country Club in Dorchester.
Once again sold-out with more than 132 golfers who enjoyed 18 holes, networking, contests, raffle prizes, and of course, a delicious steak dinner and special presentations.

Special Presentations & Giveaways
The CTMA presented John Lammers from Anchor Danly with a special shoutout to mark his retirement in June.

“I’d just like to say how much I have enjoyed working and spending time with John over these many years, and a big thank you for his support of CTMA events and programs throughout his career,” said Robert Cattle, CTMA’s executive director. “I wish him well as he moves on and a new chapter in his life begins.”
Anchor Danly has been a member for the CTMA for more than 35 years, and John has been part of that for more than 25 years!
“John’s dedication and contribution to the CTMA has made a lasting impact and I would like to personally thank him for all his help with the golf tournament since it’s inception more than 25 years ago,” said Julie McFarlane, CTMA office manager. “As he retires from the industry, I wish him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter. I hope it is filled with joy, relaxation, and some wonderful adventures!”

The CTMA also presented Cowan Insurance Group with their new member plaque. Welcome to the CTMA!

“The annual CTMA golf tournament is now a fixture in many people’s schedules, where they circle the first Tuesday of June in their calendar each year, so they don’t miss it, said Cattle. “It is impressive to see that this event is sold out every year and that participants enjoy a fantastic day of golf, get to network with their peers, have a great dinner, hopefully win some prizes, and be on the road by 6 p.m. I am already looking forward to next year’s tournament!”
