August 1987, William Penn Life, Page 3 Golf From Page 1 the Presidential Inn in Southgate. There, old acquaintances were renewed and new ones formed as everyone relaxed from the day’s journey or swapped golf stories. For many the hospitality room was a prelude to the even greater hospitality served that night at the William Penn Social Club. The Club was filled to capacity with William Penn golfers and members who gathered to sample some of the Club’s delicious Hungarian cuisine and enjoy the music of a live Hungarian band. Steve and Julia Danko, along with other members of Branch 18 and the Club staff, worked hard to ensure everyone enjoyed their evening at the Club. By 7:00 a.m. Saturday, some golfers were already on the driving range warming up for the day’s round. At 8:00, National President Stephen G. Danko hit the ceremonial first drive to officially open play. As each foursome hit their tee shots from number one hole, their strokes were being taped foi a video to be shown at the banquet later that evening. The atmosphere at the banquet was in keeping with the rest of the weekend. In other words, it was hot. Nevertheless, the nearly 200 dinner guests exhibited seemingly boundless amounts of good cheer as they gathered at the Portside Inn. National Secretary E. E. Vargo opened the official program by thanking those who helped make the tournament a success. He extended special thanks to the members of Branch 18 who pulled together many of the last minute details, and local golf pro Jake Pilot for keeping score at the golf course. National President Danko, making his first address to the membership as president, said this year’s tournament reflected the capabilities of our branches. "The final preparations made are indicative of the fact that our members can do the job. . . We have capable people at our branches and we will let them do the work,” he said. Mr. Vargo then introduced Steve Pastor of St. Louis, Mo. At 15, Steve was the youngest golfer at this year’s tournament. He received a gift of golf balls and much applause for his round of 87. The evening closed with the traditional auction raffle for a complete set of golf clubs and golf bag. The lighthearted tension built as the original field of 14 contestants was continually narrowed. In the end, it was Barbara Furedy of Pittsburgh who walked away with the $ 1,000 set of clubs. For Mrs. Furedy, winning the clubs was an ironic twist to what happened earlier in the day. Mrs. Furedy, who does not golf, wanted to drive the golf cart for a friend of hers who was playing in the tournament. Club officials would not allow Mrs. Furedy to drive the cart on the course unless she was carrying her own golf clubs. After renting clubs from the pro shop for $7, Mrs. Furedy was allowed on the course. The course for next year’s tournament will be selected soon by the Board of Directors. Both Cleveland and Columbus have made requests to host the event. Fourth Annual Notional Golf Tournament _____Officio!
