Pennsylvania Hospitality Foundation Golf Tournament
|
 |
The weather cooperated (for the most part) for the Pennsylvania Hospitality Foundation's 13th Annual Golf Tournament to benefit the Lodging Management Program (LMP). The Tournament was moved to Hershey Links because the East Course was deemed unplayable due to too much water. Several foursomes managed to come in under par and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Over 70 golfers and spa attendees had the pleasure of a delicious lunch, round of golf (or spa treatments) and reception at the Hershey County Club.
James C. Miles, Foundation Board Chair, recognized special guests, which included David Garnes from PA Department of Education. Mr. Miles thanked the sponsors and awarded the prizes from the day's tournament.
Although no one took home the $10,000 hole-in-one prize, all golfers had a great time. The winners include:
First Place Team - Outdoor Advertising Association of Pennsylvania
(Tom Loper, Mike Benkovic, Rich Curl and Andy Rebuck)
Second Place Team - Gettysburg Convention & Visitors Bureau
(Norris Flowers, Del Gudmestad, Bill Monahan and Mike Hanson)
Third Place Team - Greater Philadelphia Hotel Association
(Ed Grose, Rick Staub, Jim Gratton and Sandy LeBlanc)
The 2011 DMO Cup went to Gettysburg Convention & Visitors Bureau

The 2011 Hotel Association Cup went to Greater Philadelphia Hotel Association
