The fourth annual The Laughing Pirates Invitational held its final round on Wednesday, February 25th at the Mystic Dunes Golf Club in Orlando, FL. This year’s winner is a familiar name for the series. Tim Guertin, brother of last year’s winner Rich Guertin, finished the final round several strokes ahead of the field, winning the coveted air freshener/deodorizer trophy and bragging rights for the next year.
Tim showed good consistency over the three days of the series, and mastered the final course – Mystic Dunes. He outclassed the field that suffered both off the tee, helping entertain the local alligators populating the many water hazards, and struggling around the cup, specially on the tough, multi-level greens at Mystic Dunes.
Tim had clear plans for his prize trophy, and will be installing his Laughing Pirate in the Porta-Potti head area in the center console of his Tidewater. The Master of Mystic also calls Mystic Island, NJ his home port, where he reports seeing very few, if any, alligators.

Making your Mark – Maker’s Mark is the official beverage of The Laughing Pirates Invitational Golf Outing. Participant Tom Guertin reports he is looking forward to the fifth.
