New England SIOR Chapter holds annual golf outing May 22nd

The New England Chapter of SIOR held its 14th annual golf outing on Thursday, May 22nd for 28 New England SIORs, guests and perspective members at Turner Hill Golf Club located on Topsfield Rd. The event was once again sold out with a waiting list. The New Boston Fund sponsored this annual golf outing and the Chapter would like to thank this corporate sponsor. Jon Gilman and Pam Adamian of The New Boston Fund also gave each attendee a full box of golf balls and a golf umbrella. Gilman welcomed the participants as members arrived at 11:30 a.m. During the day, a food and drink cart was constantly rotating around the course and offering food concessions to members. John Cissel, SIOR chapter member organized the format and had an interesting twist this year. No one had handicaps and no one knew who was on each other's team until the end of the 18 holes. So the foursomes that went out were not on a team but merely played the course. The weather cooperated and despite rain in the Boston area, the golf day was free of rain. Tee time for all groups was at 12:30 p.m. Immediately following the tournament, members got together on the veranda of the clubhouse for hot appetizers including gourmet sushi, crab cakes, sesame chicken, miniature pork chops and drinks. The random selected teams were then announced and scores were tallied. The first place team with the best score went to Tyler Spring, M. Runde, Garry Holmes, and Pam Adamian. The second place team was Jason Fisek, Evan Gallagher, Jon Gilman and John Cissel. And the third place team went to Greg Klemmer, Matt Harvey, John Fuller and Chuck Reilly. The longest drive individual honors went to Bob Cleary and the Closest to the Pin honors went to John Cissel. Each winning team and individual awards were given gift certificates to the Turner Hill Pro Shop. The Chapter would like to thank Jim Boudrot, Ned Leeming and John Cissel for organizing this great event and again The New Boston Fund for being the corporate sponsor.
