RIGHT ON COURSE IN 2019

Thanks to our generous sponsors, golfers, donors and volunteers, the 4th annual JoAnn McGovern
Memorial Golf Tournament was a huge success. Not only did our golfers enjoy a great day on the
north course at Silverado, the McGovern Family Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Foundation raised
more than $40,000 for pancreatic cancer awareness, treatment and research. The Foundation this
year is sharing proceeds with two impressive groups working diligently to improve the lives and
lifespans of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and
the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

This book of memories is one way to say thank you for helping us in this vital cause and to invite
you to join us again for the 5th Annual Tournament on JULY 31, 2020 at Silverado Resort.

REMEMBERING Casey, Jessica, Annie, Tom, Hailey Ciemins, Kelsey, Brett,
Ryan, Patti, Erin, Jon and Jack McGovern
Our Mom loved an adventure and especially nature. Our Mom truly
loved and felt connected to nature. Her particular favorite was any Ryan, Hailey Ciemins, Kelsey, Erin, Annie and Jack
natural stream that was finding its way down a hill or mountain. We
would literally stop the car on many occasions to get out and investigate
when we would see one. Earlier this summer we were hiking in McCall,
Idaho and my 8-year-old daughter Kelsey was asking about her. We
talked about how much my Mom would have loved all the streams
coming down the various areas of the hike we were on. Kelsey decided
to collect a handful of rocks out of the mountain streams to save so she
could put them at her late Grandma’s grave upon our return. I thought
“wow, what a thoughtful gesture from a little girl missing her Grandma.”
Our Mom is still dearly missed by all of us and we appreciate your
participation in this event in her honor. Thank you. –Brett
Joey filled our lives with fun and laughter! That is what I remember most
when I think about Mom and one of the many reasons why we all miss
her so much. I remember the day I had to take my high school placement
exam. We were moving from Thousand Oaks to Bakersfield, so Joey and
I had to make the road trip a few weeks before the move to take the test.
I was 14 at the time, and I think Joey could tell I was nervous about the test,
the move, making new friends and starting at a new school. We were
driving down the grapevine towards Bakersfield and the mountains
were covered in beautiful wildflowers. Being in nature, and especially
wildflowers, were some of Joey’s favorites! She pulled over and told me
that it was time to have some fun! She handed me the keys to the car
and taught me how to drive that day on dirt roads outside of Bakersfield
surrounded by the wildflowers. We had a blast together that day, which
was to be expected when you got to spend time with Joey. –Casey
When I was 11, I hit the golf shot of my young life. A 3-wood shot
that landed only a foot from the hole. As I walked to the green with
anticipation to make my birdie putt, I saw my Mom skipping across
the green. She scooped the ball up and skipped off with it. I remember
feeling unamused, but I can still remember her laughing. She just was
having a great time being out on the golf course with her family. -Jon

COURSE GETS
PROFESSIONAL

GRADE

Just days removed from
hosting the PGA’s Safeway
Open, the North Course at
Napa’s Silverado Resort was
still in pristine condition
for the JoAnn McGovern
Memorial Golf Tournament.
Overseen by World Golf
Hall of Fame member
Johnny Miller, the course
was perfect, with long,
manicured fairways and
fast, challenging greens.

Mark Malmberg tees off in front of the
Safeway Open stadium seating.

Brian Louie, Emily Hayes, Tom McGovern, Scott Lidberg, Lorrie McClaskey and James Pulsipher “Playing with Pops” was
back this year! Once again a
highlight of the tournament.
All for a great cause, teams
anted up to tee off with Tom
McGovern. The reward: If
Pops hit the best shot, the
team could use it. If he didn’t,
the team walked away with
opportunity drawing tickets.
