PUTNAM — The Congregational Church of Putnam hosted its 13th annual golf tournament at the Raceway Golf Course recently and as usual there were winners on the course but thanks to the efforts of Co-chairmen Roger Franklin and Charlie Leach, there was a trio of students who were also winners.
The tourney, renamed last year as the Putnam Congregational Church – Steve Bousquet Memorial Golf Tournament, present three scholarships as part of the mission of the church. The winners of the Steve Bousquet Memorial Scholarships for 2013 were Leslie Prunier and Krystina Lewis of Putnam High School and Brittany Bertorelli of Killingly High School. The students were on hand at the awards ceremony following play on the links to receive their scholarships.
On the course, the winners with a 10 under par score of 62 was the foursome of Bob and Brian Hastings, Todd Cantwell and Mike Daley. The winners walked to the podium with a two-stroke margin over their nearest competitors.
Second place went to the team of Steve and Mark Gileau, Clay Sweet and Jay Young. The show place went to Roger Franklin, Matt and Duke Parziale and Neil Bernier. The second- and third-place finish was determined by matching cards as the two foursomes posted identical cards of 64.
Monique Pirangeli cleaned house in the women’s special contests, winning the putting and long drive competition. Mike Lussier was the men’s long drive champion. Closest to the pin winners were Matt Parziale, 4th hole (11’10”); Sam Broome, 9th hole (8’2”); Neil Bernier, 14th hole (6’2”); and Mike Daley, 17th hole (1’4”). Par 3 Challenge winners were Jeff Pyko (4th hole); Tim St. Onge (9th hole); Justin Olsen (14th hole); and Mark Gileau (17th hole).
“We’re very pleased with the turnout of golfers and appreciative of the generosity of our sponsors. Their support makes out event a success each year. We’re making plans for next year already,” said Co-chairman Franklin.
The 14th annual tournament is scheduled for June 24, 2014.
