PRCUA 59th NATIONAL GOLF TOURNAMENT RESULTS

(Photos) On Saturday, July 16th, Society #1031 hosted the 59th Annual PRCUA Golf Tournament at Briar Leaf Golf Course in La Porte, Indiana. The weekend began Friday night with a hospitality room at the hotel. PRCUA members were treated to food and drinks, as well as chances to win a decorative butterfly, Miller Lite chair and 2 Calloway golf clubs.

Folks who were not at the hospitality room, were hopefully at the Club enjoying sausage sandwiches and live entertainment, along with our friendly atmosphere. Saturday began at the Club with our Society offering free hot dogs and brats, along with chips, to golfers before heading out to the course. At the course, everyone was given a gift bag with a towel, golf ball, golf tag, and our Society Cookbook.

During the golfing, it was hot! Thanks to all of our wonderful donations, we were able to keep everyone hydrated by providing them with bottles of ice cold water all day long. 100 golfers tackled dry conditions but overall, everyone played well.

On Saturday night, a wonderful Mass was celebrated at the hotel. Very special thanks go to Father Ian Williams and to Arlene Phillips for planning this event. The awards ceremony was held at the host hotel, The Best Western and Conference Center in La Porte. Everyone was treated to some free water and soda, a wonderful assortment of finger foods, and every golfer selected a prize for participating in our event.

Music was provided by Soundsations and they entertained everyone for the rest of the night. Res. V.P. Anna Sokolowski and chairpersons, Rick and Lori Lambert, presented the special golf prizes and announced the winners of each flight. Winners will receive a golf pullover at a later date.

Then the volunteers of the La Porte Society were recognized and passed off the traveling golf banner to Society #718 from Detroit, MI, who will host next year's tourney. On Sunday, golfers were treated to breakfast before traveling home. Special thanks go to Club President Don Sawyer, Sr. and his committee for putting together the delicious buffet breakfast.

Thanks go to all our sponsors who donated items for the tourney and everyone who helped at the Club, hotel, and golf course. Special thanks go to Jay Williams and Briar Leaf staff for making the weekend a success. I would also like to thank PRCUA President Joe Drobot for taking the time to talk with us. It really meant a lot. Thanks go to Anna Sokolowski for all of her help. It was greatly appreciated.

To my volunteers, Pappy, Mammy, Jimmy Jr., Michelle, Chili Bean, Jeff, Mikey, Don Clark, JLO, Scotty, Dee, Bobby, Rich, Norm, Marta, Sue, Caz, Zane Bo, and all our Club members, THANK YOU! Finally, I would like to thank my oldest son Cory, who played this year and nearly beat me, and my co-chair and beautiful wife, Lori. Woo-hoo, we did it! Thanks to all who came to La Porte and helped us put on an awesome tournament; I cannot wait to do it again.
