Guess what they did at the Lebanon Country Club on 'Mike Swisher Day'? Played golf and had fun.

 Not necessarily in that order.

 On Friday at LCC, Swisher and hundreds of his closest friends celebrated a professional golf career chocked full of humor, touched lives and fond memories. Swisher, Lebanon Country Club's colorful head pro for the past 42 years, will retire at the end of the 2010 calendar year.

 An early afternoon shotgun start on the golf course was followed by an early evening testimonial dinner feting Swisher and his accomplishments. Among those attending were former and present players Stu Ingraham, Greg Lesher, Tom Lape, Chris Gebhard, Brian Auman, Joe Faller and Lara Peffley, all of whom Swisher took under his tutorial wing at one time or another.

 Swisher himself chose not to play golf, instead parking himself in a golf cart at the ninth green in order to greet those who had come to honor him.

 The event also raised $2,200 for the Mike Swisher Scholarship Fund.

 "I thought I would ride around and kabitz with every group," said Swisher, in typical dry 'Swish' style. "When I learned they were going to do this my first reaction was 'Why?' and 'Don't do it'. I just want to go out quietly. But as usual, they didn't listen. I'm honored and humbled by it all.

 "It's just nice to see all these people," he added.

 It is a trivia question in the making. 'Who won the Sullivan in Mike Swisher's last year as the head pro at the Lebanon Country Club?'

 The answer: Dan Bown and Brian Auman

 On Saturday on LCC's 6,562-yard par-72 layout, Brown and Auman claimed the championship of an elongated 65th annual W.B. Sullivan better-ball-of-partners golf tournament with a one-up 22nd hole victory over Maryland's Larry Storck-Micky Abrams. The Lebanon Countians won it with a par on the 398-yard, par-four Number Four - the third hole of the day and the fourth playoff hole - after the championship match had been suspended by darkness on Sunday, July 25th.

 With their second title, Brown and Auman became the first Lebanon County team to win the prestigious Sullivan in eight years.

 "It's really weird," said Auman. "You don't know how to feel. It's different. Maybe it just didn't sink in yet.

 "We (he and Swisher) hugged and whispered a few things back and forth to each other that were special," Auman added. "I can't speak enough about that guy. That's just the way it is. He treats everyone the same. And he'll do anything to make you play better."
