WPA golfers have some fun in the sun

The weather could have hardly been more perfect for the 32nd Annual WPA Golf Tournament held July 18 at Quicksilver Golf Club in Midway, Pa. Yes, it did get a bit warm after a while, but no one was complaining, remembering the heavy rains that drenched last year's event.

The tournament was just one part of a fun-filled fraternal weekend. Dozens of non-golfing members and guests joined our golfers the previous evening for the annual golfers reception and Monte Carlo Night at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott.

Once tournament play ended, everyone gathered in the Quicksilver clubhouse for the post-tournament barbeque and the awarding of prizes to the tournament winners.

We congratulate all of this year's winners, especially the team of Ed Houseman, Tom McKee, Tony Dodaro and Robert Harbison, representing Branch 336 Harrisburg, Pa., who took home first prize with a score of 58. In addition to the team prizes, a number of individual prizes were awarded to golfers who won the various skill shot contests held along the course. (For a complete list of tournament and skill shot winners, see "The Leader Board" on next page.)

No one scored a hole-in-one during the tournament, so none of the big cash prizes were awarded. The other big unclaimed prize was $2,500 for sinking a 50-foot putt during
