On May 11, 2011, the
Connecticut State Elks held their 12th annual golf tournament. We
had 123 golfers participate in this year’s event and enjoy the
dinner that followed at Southington Lodge #1669.
This year we again had a
tie for 1st place; New Haven Lodge #25 and Windsor Lodge #2060. For
the second year in a row Windsor Lodge takes second place with New
Haven Lodge winning by matching cards. Both Lodges were tied
at 12 under par after play at the Hawk’s Landing Country Club.
I would like to thank PSP
Tim Angell for donating a Bullseye putter that he made, Tom Gangi
for the donation of a wedge and Paul Salisbury for donating golf
balls. All of these prizes were greatly appreciated.
This year we were able to
raise over $4,700 for the States Major Project, the Connecticut’s
Children’s Medical Center. Great job to those who helped make this
possible.
