In all, 88 Golfers played at the beautifully designed Edison Club, a private golf course in Rexford, which included an 18-hole scramble, BBQ lunch, awards ceremony and dinner, complimentary beverages, goodie bags with a Saratoga Bridges polo shirt, raffles, and a silent auction. A portion of the proceeds benefits the J. Michael Fitzgibbons Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor of Michael, who was a Board Member that passed away unexpectedly in 2005.
Professional Golfer and loyal Saratoga Bridges friend, Briana Vega, was one of the special guests again this year. A Pro since 2004, Briana qualified for the 2009 U.S. Women’s Open Championship and has won four other tournaments including The 2006 Big Break VI: Trump National series. Andrew Catalon from WNYT News Channel 13 was the Master of Ceremonies at the Awards Ceremony and Bob Reed, former Minnesota Viking and committee member, was also on hand to greet guests.
