Golfers teed off at Timber Banks in Baldwinsville on June 24th to raise money for local charities
For the first time ever, Big I CNY held a 9-Hole Golf Social for new-to-the sport and recreational golfers. Six teams braved the sideways rain to play golf, help each other learn the game, and have fun.
More than 120 golfers participated in the 18-hole tournament. The rain dried up and the sun came out for a warm day of play. Golfers enjoyed several contests to show off their skills:
Mike Woodham won Closest to the Pin at 4' 1 1/4"
Kasey Vaughan had the Longest Drive for the women
Zak Ottman took the Longest Drive for men
David Wicker won the 50/50 Tee Shot
Paul Staring, Bill Gallagher, Josh Watkins, and Dan Connors placed second with a score of 61 (11 under par).
The first place team is Matt Briggs, Zak Ottman, Brett Bushinger, and Annalaura Werner with a score of 56 (16 under par).
Golfers enjoyed lunch, a social reception, and a chicken and steak dinner. Proceeds from the tournament and the raffles benefit local charities. Big I CNY wants to support your favorite charities.
Please email Allison Just at ajust@biginy.org with the name of your favorite local charity to be considered.
