| 48th Annual Vallejo Chamber Golf Tournament is a Success! | |
The Vallejo Chamber of Commerce celebrated their 48th Annual Golf Tournament "Rockin' At The Rock !" at the beautiful Blue Rock Springs "West" Golf Course on Friday, 12 August 2011. Over 100 golfers hit the links on a gorgeous day with phenomenal "Vallejo" weather! As is the tradition, we had several business members and local service groups serve as "Hole Sponsors" presenting their business or organization in a fun, positive light on the course. The winner of "Best Hole Host" this year was our good friends from TEAM SUPERSTORES! With delicious treats and great give away items on the 11th Tee. |
Winners of the golf tournament included: 1st Place (Gross): Matt Sanchez, Jeff LeClaire, Doug Calandrella and Ron Garrison who shot a sizzling 55 ! 1st Place (Net): Al Lavezzo, Lou Caretti, Mike Coan and Tom Wade who shot a 54 on the day ! 1st Place (Mixed): Jack Anthony, Michelle Wade, Mark Gamba and Deanna Baillie who finished up at 61. 2nd Place (Net) went to the team of Nate Sloan, David Albaugh Sr., and David Albaugh Jr. Long Drive (Men) went to Jack Anthony and Long Drive(Women) went to Robin Lewis (Avisotek). Closest to the Hole (Women) went to Robin Lewis and Closest to the Hole (Men) went to Brian McKissack (First Capital Auctions). |
This year, in keeping with the tournament theme, the committee also presented an outstanding evening rock concert. The concert, done in conjunction with Blue Rock Springs Golf Club and sponsored by our great friends at SYAR Foundation, featured the "Red Hot Rockin' Soul" of The Fundamentals, a high octane, fun filled group featuring three dynamic vocalists, two of the hottest horn players around and a super four piece rhythm section ... several members of the group are local Vallejo talent. What a great way to cap off a perfect day of golf !
