Prize winnners (not pictured is high scorer, Eastern Region Director Chaim Kantor).

On Sept. 12, 45 golfers hit the links for the First Annual Local 600 Eastern Regional Golf Tournament held at Sky View Golf Course in Sparta N.J. Single-handicappers teed off alongside first time golfers during this fun-filled day.

Guild members joined guests from Local 52, Local 1, Kodak, Panavision, CSC and the IATSE International. Sponsors included CSC, Kits and Expendables, Panavision, Kodak, Bike Hampton, and Bob Raggozine.

The day's big winners were Bob Ragozzine with a 77 for lowest score, Anthony Hechonova with an 80 for 2nd lowest score. Chaim Kantor earned a prize for highest score. Rusty Engels came closest to the pin on the 3rd hole and Ralph Brandofino won closest to the pin on the 17th hole. A member of Local One won the longest drive competition. Local 600 members Chris Silano and John Romer also claimed honors.

A huge thanks goes out to Angelo DiGiacomo, David Blake, Patrick Quinn, Barry Wetcher and Pat Schaible - who put in a lot of time and energy to make this event possible. We look forward to seeing everyone at next year's tournament.

Ralph Brandofino signals the distance... 3 feet (he made the putt for a birdie). Office manager and Tourney Coordinator Pat Schaible photographs Ralph Brandofino measuring his phenomenal tee shot.
