2010-05-01 / 5. szám
VVP j\ CjdJ/ ~í ALL MEMBERS AND FRIENDS of the WPA are invited to join us for a fun and exciting weekend when we host our 27th Annual Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days, July 16 and 17. This year, our tournament returns to the Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort and Conference Center in Blairsville, Pa. Our golfers will be competing on the resort’s Tom’s Ridge Golf Course, which served as the site for our tournament in 2002. Adding to the excitement of this year’s tournament weekend will be the return of “Monte Carlo Night,” to be held Friday evening as part of our annual pre-tournament golfers reception at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Blairsville. After enjoying complimentary food and beverages, golfers and guests will be invited to try their luck at various casino games that will be set up in the hotel ballroom. All proceeds from the evening-and all the weekend’s activities—will benefit the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation. The next morning, golfers are invited to enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast before beginning the 18-hole tournament. Once again, there will be a shotgun start at 8:30 am, and play will use a scramble format. Along the course, golfers will have the chance to win prizes as part of our traditional skill shot contests, including longest drive, longest putt, closest to the pin and closest to the line. The tournament will again feature the popular Hole- In-One contest. All eligible members who score a holein-one at the designated par-3 hole during tournament play will win a $ 15,000 cash prize. Any non-member who scores an ace on the designated hole will win $7,500. Plus, cash prizes will be awarded to golfers who score a holein-one on any of the course’s other par-3 holes during tournament play. On those holes, eligible WPA members will win $5,000, while non-members can take home $2,500. If a hole-in-one is not scored on the $ 15,000 hole, a special $500 cash prize will be awarded to the eligible member who gets his or her tee shot closest to the pin on that hole. By “eligible member” we mean a golfer who is an adult life benefit member of the William Penn Association by July I, 2010, with at least one year’s premium paid. Our weekend’s activities will conclude with the annual golf barbeque to be held at the Chestnut Ridge Resort immediately following the conclusion of tournament play.
