Holliston Knights of Columbus Hold Successful Golf Tournament
From Tony Polise
Ninety golfers (23 teams) participated in the St. Mary’s of Holliston KofC Council 14224’s Second Annual Swing for Charity Golf Tournament on June 9th at Pinecrest Golf Club. The teams were delighted with the good weather, some sunshine, and no rain this year. First Place went to Holliston Pantry Shelf President Karen Jewett’s team with a score of 8 under Par (-8). John Curran’s team came in Second Place with a score of 6 under Par (-6). John is the past Chairman of the KofC Golf Tournament Committee. Third Place went to Holliston Pantry Shelf Treasurer Dave O’Neil’s team with a score of 6 under Par (-6). Men’s Longest Drive was won by Dave O’Neil’s grandson Andrew Faichney. Elizabeth Crews won the Women’s Longest Drive and Closest-to-the-Pin was won by Greg Panagiotou. Wendy Cofran provided some excitement when she made her first-ever hole-in-one on the 10th hole.
