2007 Habitec Toledo Open Pro Am
September 23, 2007
On September 23, Habitec Security hosted the second annual Jim Smythe Memorial Toledo Open Pro-Am. Jim Smythe, the founder of Habitec, fought his battle with leukemia with courage and grace but lost his fight on June 17, 2006. After being diagnosed with Leukemia, Jim received blood products weekly. To raise awareness for the never-ending need of blood, the Toledo Open planning committee designated that the Red Cross Blood Services would be the beneficiaries. The funds will be used to purchase a new blood mobile for the Toledo community.
The Jim Smythe Memorial Pro-Am preceded the Habitec Security Toledo Open, a PGA sanctioned event. Jim Smythe was instrumental in reviving the Toledo Open in 2001. Two of the winners in the past five years are currently on the PGA Tour, including the 2003 winner John Mills.
This year’s event featured 130 PGA Pro’s playing for a purse of $25,000. The 2007 winner of the Habitec Toledo Open was Anthony Zummo of Mayfield Heights, OH. Mr. Zummo shot 9 under for the 36 hole tournament.
About Habitec Security
Today, it is one of the nation’s largest residential and commercial security companies. In Toledo, Habitec has the only locally owned and operated UL listed and FM approved command center. By operating our own command center we dictate the level of training and service our technicians and operators must maintain. The best detection devices in the world are of little use if the monitoring equipment and personnel aren’t maintained by quality people.
Habitec Security prides itself in the premier service that they offer to their clients. Habitec’s business philosophy and professional approach to the security industry resulted in the remarkable customer retention of 95% over a ten year period, mainly because of customers moving. This is one of the reasons that Habitec has recently opened full service branches in the Columbus and Northern Michigan markets.
