INAUGURAL
COMMUNITY INVITATIONAL
GOLF SHOOT-OUT
To recognize the many community golf groups who play on a regularly scheduled weekly basis at the Kings Point Executive golf course during each season, the management team at Kings Point inaugurated a tournament that took place February 28, 2009. Thirteen foursomes responded to invitations and signed up for a round of golf at the Kings Point Executive course and an awards luncheon afterwards. 44 men and eight women participated.
This year's men's winning team was from the Jamaica Bay community: Dick Franciosi,
Val Williams, Dick Newell, and Tom Diehl. The contest was very close. A second handicap hole was necessary to decide the winner. This created a very high level of excitement at the luncheon.
The women's winner was the team representing the Kings Point Ladies Golf Club: Gloria Carroll, Jan Greenglass, Frances Cohen and Fran Garnes.
Perpetual trophies for the best men's and women's teams were purchased. The
names of the winning community and the players were fixed to the trophy
which will reside in the winning team's clubhouse. This is a plan
similar to the "Claret Jug", which is won at the British Open. The winner
returns the trophy the following year to be passed on to the next winning team.
The tournament fostered a festive atmosphere. The players agreed that a
good time was had by all. All the players planned to participate next year.
The management is anxious to have more women participating.
