Another Successful Tournament.
The 6th Annual Bristol Sports Hall of Fame Golf Tournament was held on July 31, 2010 at Chippanee Golf Club in Bristol.
Through the generosity of the golfers and many sponsors, the proceeds of the tournament are used to support the Bristol Sports Hall of Fame “Jack Hines Scholar Athlete” Program which provides scholarship money for Bristol high school seniors.
Among the participants were hall of fame members, Jim Bates, Jr., Paul Castolene, Gail Ericson, Robert Freimuth, Dave Mills, Dave Raponey and Duke Snyder. They were joined by Bristol Mayor Art Ward, former Major Leaguer Dick McAuliffe, NBC news correspondent Tom Monahan, Avon HS Football Coach Brett Quinion and former BSHOF Executive Director Jack Hines.
The tournament was held under a scramble format with winners in both the gross and net categories. First place gross winners with a score of 54 were the team of Jeff and Noah Hedberg, Mike Longo and Neil Forte. Finishing four strokes behind the winning foursome was the team of Steve Brasile, Matt Lewis, John Chapman and Keith Salamon.
On the Net side, the winning foursome with a score of 45 was the team of Brian Farrell, Jr., Chris Sullivan, Sean McMahon and Gary Swanson. Finishing second two strokes behind was the team of Mike and Chris Nicastro, John Leone and Morrie Laviero.
Long Drive winners were Brian Farrell, Jr. in the Men’s division and Dick McAuliffe was our inaugural winner in the Men’s Senior Long Drive.
The Closest to the Pin was won by Tony Pannazzo 7’8”.
The event drew 88 golfers who also enjoyed lunch and dinner in addition to some great golf at Chippanee Golf Club.
