The weather was perfect and course was in great shape as 120 golfers
from as far away as California, Arizona, Texas and Minnesota enjoyed a
day of golf and fun at the Beckett Ridge Country Club in West Chester,
Ohio. The event chairman, John Siegel, was pleased to announced that the
1st Annual Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation (JTHF) Fall Classic Golf
Outing raised over $40,000. The final number will be published
within a couple of weeks once all the funds are properly recorded. The
proceeds of the Golf Outing will be donated to the Jeffrey Thomas Hayden
Scholarship Fund to benefit families with children that have been
affected by this horrible disease. Special thanks to Joan Baldasare and
all of the volunteers that worked so hard to make the event go so
smoothly.
The day was filled with excitement as Mark Huber recorded a
hole-in-one on #6 to win a set of Ping Drivers and bag. Congratulations
go out to our skill contest winners. Duanne Lorenz won the longest drive
contest and Winslow Garnier and Gene Kalhorn each won closest to the pin
contests on holes #10 and 16 respectively. Each were rewarded with some
prizes and gift certificates that were donated by Dicks Sporting Goods.
Mike Nieberding was the grand prize raffle winner and took home a
very nice set of golf clubs courtesy of Nike Golf. Special thanks go out
to Yelton’s Fine Jewelery and Eastgate Pools and Spa’s for providing
items that were awarded in our very successful raffle.
The Dixie Food Service team, lead by John Sigel, won first place with
a score of 55. Needless to say they used their fair share of Mulligans.
West Chester’s Worst Golfers, lead by Tom Hayden, recorded a 94 to claim
the “Most Honest Score” award.
