An uncharacteristic heat wave on Monday, June 7^th didn’t disturb the 130 members and friends at NYARM’s Third Annual Golf Outing. Held again at the beautiful Colonial Springs Golf Course in East Farmingdale, Long Island the golfers enjoyed buffet lunch, driving range, 18 holes of golf, golf carts and a sumptuous barbecue dinner with open bar.

Unique to the NYARM Golf Outing is a golf clinic for those interested in learning the game. And, after this year’s lesson, many are threatening to join the veterans out on the course next year!

Fabulous prizes were awarded to the team of Steve Yastrub, John Miccoli, Vinny Seletti and Allen Tuckman (Industrial Distributors) for men’s low gross (second year in a row!) and Linda Peters, Bonnie Lichtman, Tina Tanpanikis and George Biebel for ladies low gross. Closest to the pin, men’s division, was taken by Josh Goldman and Michael Costelloe. Closest to the pin in the women’s division was won by Bonnie Lichtman. Longest drive, men’s division was won by Steve Yastrub and Michael Benza; Tina Tapinekis took the women’s division. The top raffle prizes included Callaway woods 210, Titlest irons 981 and a Puck Hoofer golf bag with stand.

Much needed at this year’s outing were two refreshment carts that combed the greens looking for thirsty players. Thanks to our sponsors Environmental Cleaning Systems, Scientific Compactor/Boiler and Air Master Windows for providing the necessary thirst quenchers.

Again we need to thank Scientific Compactor/Boiler and Air Master Windows who sponsored the hole-in-one prize…a Buick Park Avenue for any lucky golfer(s) to hit that coveted hole-in-one. Unfortunately no one did!
