BJ’s Charity Pro-Am

I played with the Johnson & Johnson Sales Team in the BJ’s Charity Pro-Am at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth, MA. Our shamble score on the Rees Jones designed golf course didn’t get us into the top five prize winners, but we would have if they had scoring the “fun” factor!  Thanks to my teammates, Todd “The Barber”, “Dollar” Bill and “Sweet” Sue for an enjoyable day.

Including a silent and live auction, this event raised nearly $1.6 million for BJ’s Charitable Foundation.

“Good Luck Sue Ertl” Party!

Three University Park couples met Sue & Val after Tuesday’s practice round to help Sue kick-off the BJ’s Charity Classic Pro-Am at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth, MA.  Pinehills residents Ted Ellis & Gail Schaeffer arranged to have Bruce & Lynn Wallin (Cotuit, MA) and Walter & Sue Hughes (Mattapoisett, MA) come for a cocktail party to wish Sue well before the pro-am & charity fundraiser.  Sue will play Wednesday Sept. 9th, with three amateurs while competing individually against 23 of her fellow Legends Tour professionals at the Rees Jones course at Pine Hills. Twenty-four other professionals and pro-am teams will be on the Nicklaus course in a separate competition. 

Thanks to everyone for the great food, many laughs and wonderful support.  Thanks to Gail & Ted for arranging such a fun evening.
