Lee Morgan, Tim Hill, Johnny Bentley and Kurt Duryea combined to shoot an 18 under par 53 which tied them with the foursome of Bill Trammell, Terry Adams, Bobby Russell, and Eddie Robertson in the Bain Hammett charity golf tournament at the Cherokee County Country Club (Centre, Al).

Morgan, Hill, Bentley and Duryea claimed the top prize thanks to an birdie (18th), birdie (17th), eagle (16th) finish on the scorecard playoff regression. Russell, Robertson, Adams and Trammell carded birdies on the final three holes.

Both teams topped a talented field that included teams from Birmingham, Anniston and Rome.

Bain was a very active, happy and healthy 4 year old little boy until December 2, 2012. On the night of 12-1-12 Bain had a stomach virus. He only threw up 2 times and his mother thought he was over the worst. The morning of 12-2-12 they went in to check on him for the second time, because he hadn’t gotten up yet and he was seizing and unresponsive. He was carried to Floyd Medical Center in Rome, GA. He had a CAT Scan that showed several areas of swelling in his brain. They had him airlifted to Egleston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta where he was put in PICU. He had to be put into a medically induced coma so his brain would stop seizing. He stayed there for 3 weeks. He was then sent to Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Atlanta for rehab therapy. He had to relearn to do everything starting with sitting up. He was there for 5 ½ weeks. He was then sent to Out Patient Rehab across the road from Scottish Rite for 7 weeks. He still has to have “hands on” when he walks, he’s still not talking, has anywhere from 10-30 seizures a day and is still in outpatient rehab. The golf tournament aided efforts to raise $13,000 in honor of Bain for his new seizure alert service dog to help alert ahead of time so his parents can complete simple daily tasks with ease.
