More than 100 golfers and tournament sponsors helped raise close to $40,000 for Diocese of Wilmington Catholic Youth Ministries Sept. 20 at the 31st annual Joseph A. McNesby Jr. event.
The 106 players teed off after an opening prayer from Bishop Koenig on a glorious, sunny day at Deerfield Golf Club in Newark.
The tournament included several contests during the round of golf. The putting contest was won by James Grieco, who drained the lengthy putt in one shot.
Closest to the pin was achieved by Tom Milowicki and longest drive was slammed by Joe Vogel.
Jennifer Watson, longtime member of the CYM support staff, was recognized by the golf committee with the Msgr. John Hopkins Award. The award is in appreciation for dedicated service to the Catholic Youth Organization. Her efforts enable the CYO to provide programs that touch the lives of thousands of children and young adults in the Diocese of Wilmington, according to the committee.
