18th annual Bavarian Hops Golf Classic nets over $3,000 for local charities
(August 27, 2025) The weather was beautiful as the Ocean Pines Golf Club hosted the Ernie Stiles Memorial Bavarian Hops Golf Classic Friday evening, August 22nd.
A total of 72 participants came out for the 18th annual event, which was founded by the late Ernie Stiles in the early 2000s as a way to go out for 9 holes, have some fun, and support good causes.
Ernie’s son Colby hosted the first hole cheer to raise a drink to the sky, while Darin and Terri Stuiber hosted a “Shot Ski” party at the 7th hole to raise additional money for his charities.
More than $3,000 was raised through the event to benefit Diakonia and the Worcester County Humane Society, with each organization slated to receive over $1,500 from the Ocean Pines Golf Members Council.
Dave McGregor won the Bavarian Hops Match Hat for closest to the pin on the 7th hole at 20.5 inches.
Peggy & Joe Tomarelli, Ed Kessler, and Tracy Jones won the 50/50 as a group and graciously donated it back to the charities.
The Ocean Pines Golf Club thanked Event Chairs Patty Curtin and Don McMullen, as well as the Pro Shop and Clubhouse staff, for another successful event.
