The largest field of golfers in more than a decade converged on Canoe Brook Country Club in Summit on June 13th to take part in the Overlook Foundation Golf Tournament. Now in its 21st year and sponsored by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the event raised a record $117,000 to benefit the Spine and Concussion Center at Overlook.
Golfers came early to hit some balls at the driving range and do some pre-round stretching with Overlook physical therapists before settling in for a buffet lunch on the club’s patio. Then it was on to one of Canoe Brook’s two renowned championship courses, where several luxury automobiles awaited any lucky golfer who managed to sink a hole-in-one. That evening, at the awards dinner, attendees bid on a number of tempting silent auction packages that included vacations and rounds of golf at some of the area’s most prestigious courses.
A generous lineup of golf prizes was awarded to the top half of registered foursomes with the lowest net scores, as well as individuals with the longest drive and closest to the pin. Top-finishing foursomes on the North and South courses respectively were: Drs. James Gardner and Stephen Hall, Kevin Karp and Joe Buser; and Drs. Gail Schultz, Daniel Woo and Keith Frazer, and Michael Wattick. In addition, the Anthony F. Coppola, MD Memorial Award was presented to Kevin Karp for the lowest individual gross score.
