KILLINGTON, Vt. – Rain could not dampen the spirits of the 84 golfers who came out to support the 22nd annual Sons of the American Legion Squadron 36 Golf Tournament on Sunday, Sept. 13. The overall winners, shooting a 12-under-par score of 60, consisted of the team of Joel Lombard, Jake Lombard, Kurt Lombard, and Troy Adams. Second place went to the team of John Taylor Jr., Seth Mailhiot, and Tory Surething, shooting 61. Rounding out the top three, with a score of 64, was the team of Tom Hyjek, Mike Hyjek, Mike Martin, and Woody Rodriques.
This tournament was a fundraiser to support local veterans and children. With the support of all the players and local sponsors, the Sons of the American Legion can donate to these worthy causes. Other tournament winners were closest to the pin for the men, Rob Shortsleeve; closest to the pin for the women, Jody Matthews; and the closet to the line, Rich Grant, with his shot landing on the line.
The Sons would like to thank all the volunteers who helped make this tournament possible, especially Mark and Beth Lombard and Becky Parker, who served a fabulous lunch for all the players. They would also like to thank the staff at Killington Golf Course, who do a fabulous job.
