The 2009 Cathedral Golf Open

An Overview of the  Day
 

We would like to thank all the sponsors, contributors, players, volunteers and especially The McGeady Family, our lead sponsor of the Cathedral Open. We appreciate their continued and generous support as our Major Sponsor. We are also blessed to have generous Event and Contest Sponsors such as Erik Halvorsen of All Risks, Ltd, Pat Brady of Crawford Advisors, LLC, and Dave Norman of DavCo Restaurants. 

This year’s outing was held on Monday, September 28 at the Elkridge Club in Baltimore, Maryland. Our day began under sunny skies and moderate temperatures, a beautiful day for golfing. The forecast said there would be inclement weather for later in the day.  The event was sold out again this year with 100 golfers teeing up to play. Sr. Josephann Wagoner, our Principal, and pastor, Monsignor Robert A. Armstrong were on hand to wish the golfers well as they finished their boxed lunches and headed to their carts to tee off promptly at 12:30. The golfers were sent on there way with a blessing from Father Silvester Kim.

And this year’s winners were:

The 1^st Place Gross Team whose names will be engraved on The SCMOQ Trophy are Hugh Mohler, Matt Waldron, Peter Thomas, and Jason Rose.

The 1^st Place Net Team, whose names will be engraved on The McGeady Trophy, are Frank Locke, Stuart Schadt, Trip Burch, and Greg Zenger.

Closest to the Pin $500 cash prize on hole #13 was won by Parent Jim Beese. Closest to the pin winners on holes: #4-Jamie Pezzulla; #8-Ryan Kelly; and #17-Mrs. Barbara Stevens won $50 Pro-Shop credit.

Players enjoyed the camaraderie with their fellow golfers both on and off the course! As the rain came later in the day, golfers concluded their play and gathered inside the clubhouse for drinks and delicious hors d’oeuvres consisting of crab dip, a beef carving station, passed bruschetta, and chicken skewers! The golfers had a chance to dry off, relax, and enjoy the evening.

John Boote ‘81 was master of ceremonies as he awarded the raffle prizes and top golfers their prizes to the enthusiastic crowd. You can read all about the winners on the website.

Once again, we would like to thank everyone who contributed in any way to make this year’s outing a success! We would especially like to thank our Chairs John Boote ‘81 and Pat Franklin for their commitment, hard work and effort and the golf committee; Mike McGeady, John Blaze, Kristen Rudolph and the Development Office for their time and dedication to this event.  Final numbers will be posted shortly for the funds that will go towards our School Endowment Fund and tuition assistance. The Golf Outing raised over $10,600 in funds which will go towards our School Endowment Fund and tuition assistance.

Congratulations to all of our winners and we hope to see you again next year!
