Lyons golfers take Wayne ARC tourney

Nothing is more exciting to a golfer than to wake up on the day of a tournament and see the sun shining brightly and know that in a few hours you will be playing golf!

That is how it was for the 16th Annual Wayne ARC Golf Tournament on August 3. It was a beautiful day and 116 golfers participated in support of Wayne ARC's many programs and services for the developmentally disabled.

Everyone enjoyed a range of activities, including 18 holes of golf at Wayne Hills Country Club in Lyons, lunch, a cocktail party, a dinner buffet and an awards ceremony with lots of prizes and awards, donated by Wayne County businesses. The Golf Committee, co-chaired by Steve Felker and Tim Cappon, coordinated and solicited gifts for the tourney.

Pictured are First-place winners in the Scratch Division: Steve Tricarico, Dave Wagner, Tom Pullen and Bruce Wagner. Second place winners were George Evangelist, Jim Ruffalo, Ron Krueger, and Tony Patanzo.

Winners in the Handicap Division were Tim Cappon, John Cappon, Jack Herrema, and Dave Shoales; second place winners were Gary Schultz, Kevin Schultz, Darrin Cowles, and Chris Damick. Closest to the pin on #4 was awarded to David Saracino; Women's Longest Drive on #6 Deb Murphy; closest to the pin on #7 was Gary Reilly;

Men's Longest Drive - George Evangelist; Women's Longest Drive on #12 Lauren Felker; Most Accurate Drive - Ron Kreiling; Closest to the Pin on #15 - Bob Brisky; Men's Longest Drive on #16 - Steve Tricarico.

New to the Tourney this year was a putting contest sponsored by American Express Financial Advisors, Dawson Raymo, Ted O'Toole, Marc Kreuser and Jeff Arnold. The winner of the Putting Contest was Rocco Marcellino.

Also new to the tourney was a Hole-in-One Contest sponsored by Concord Ford, Lincoln, Mercury in Newark. A new Mercury Mystique was on the course just waiting to be won by a participant. Even though nobody made a hole-in-one, everyone left feeling like a winner and anxiously awaiting next year's event on June 28.
