2011 MCWP Golf Classic

 

The 21st annual golf classic was held on August 9, 2011 at the ShamRock Golf Course in Slippery Rock. It was a beautiful summer day void of the hot weather we were having at the time, We even missed the huge rain storm that went through early that day. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The course is a level one that makes it possible for all degrees of skill players, each being challenged in their own way. The low score using the MCWP handicap system was John Angelo, son of long time professor at IUP Joe Angelo, and Marlin Hartman also a long time professor at IUP. They get to share a trophy for the year. They each also got first choice of the prizes being offered. Chartiers Valley math teacher, Bill Phiffer was the overall low score without the handicap.
    We would like to thank Garry Quast acting as our host for making the arrangements with the golf course and the Camelot Restaurant. The catered lunch always hits the spot when we finish the round. Chicken breast, salads, and cherry pie were the highlight of the meal. Left over food was donated to the “Feed My Sheep” food bank in Slippery Rock along with a cash donation from the golfers.
    Anyone who would like to play next year should contact: Charlie Fleming-- fleming5121@verizon.net--- to be put on the mailing list. It will be held the second Tuesday of August in 2012.
