TOURNAMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Another successful event in 2007! We were blessed with great weather and a full field
of 136 players.
The 2007 Jeff Berberich Memorial Golf Invitational
kicked off Friday afternoon with the Montego Bay
/ Jeff Berberich Shootout.
This year 22 players
signed up for a chance to be the shoot out champ.
The weather was warm and sunny, the players started
on the Good #1 Course and the play was intense.
The winner in the “A” division was Pete Berberich
and the runner up was David Lynn [Photo] The winner
in the “B’ division was David Trepanier and runner
up was Brian Roberts.
After the shootout,
many of the golfers, friends and family gathered
at the Montego Bay Restaurant for the annual pairing’s
party. Much discussion, catching up on events in
our lives and conversations regarding the tournament
took place. The food was outstanding and our thanks
to Roy Centani, our shootout sponsor.
Saturday morning
dawned with much warmth and sunshine and an excited
field of 136 golfers were anxious to get going!
The day’s round was highlighted with one
team shooting an excellent round of 54 for the lead
in the tournament.
Saturday evening we all gathered
for our annual putting contest, which included pizza
from Hungry Howies, beer from Budweiser, and soft
drink from Coca Cola.
The putting champion
was Mike Reese after a put off on Sunday evening. The putting event was once again hosted
by Ron Bigus, his wife Sue, and brother George.
They also contributed the $250.00 cash prize.
Thanks
to Ron, Susan, and George along with Andy Marshall
from Hungry Howies, Sid Taylor from Budweiser, and
David Lizarralde from Coca Cola.
Sunday morning
we attended mass in honor of Jeff at St. Bernadette’s
Church.
The day was starting out beautiful and only
got better as we began the final round of golf at
noon. Again, 136 players anxiously awaited the start
and all had hopes of being crowned the champion
and the bragging rights that go with it.
The eventful
champions wound up being the team of Tom Crusey,
Chirs Crusey, Mike Smolen, and Jerry Hofer.
After golf, we all gathered for the steak cook out
and awarding the prizes and the grand raffle. The
food prepared by Paul Sylvester and his staff was
outstanding and everyone seemed to enjoy the dinner
and music provided by David Kerr!
After dinner,
the champions received their trophies and champion
caps.
Once again, no one got a hole
in one, so the new Toyota and the E-Z Go Golf Cart
went unclaimed.
After the awards ceremony, the staff at
Guardian Ad Litem presented a hand made quilt made
by many of the children in the program to Chuck
and Judy Berberich.
