  Groton Post 800 Golfs to First Place

  

  A total of 12 teams played in the Department’s 32nd Annual Legion Golf Tournament,  held at Maple Hill Golf Club in Marathon, N.Y., on Friday, August 2, Department Golf Chairman Auseklis G. Krumins reports.

  “Everyone had a good time enjoying the golf and the ribeye steak dinner afterwards,” he noted.

  This year’s first place team was from Post 800 in Groton, captained by Keith Randolph. This is the second year in a row that Keith’s team has finished in first place. 

  Second prize went to Steve Livermore’s team from Post 401 in Owego, and third prize was won by PDC Frank LaMarsh and his team from Post 1365 in Staten Island.

  Longest drive for men went to Keith Randolph and closest-to-the-pin for men went to Jay McIntyre from Post 974 in Whitney Point.

  “Congratulations to all prize winners!“ Krumins said, adding that he “hopes to see even more teams participate next year in this simply fun day of golf for all Legion Family members.”
