VEC/BP Team Wins Fall Golf Outing (Again)!

On Sunday, September 21, 2008, VEC golfers teamed with BP Procurement personnel to win the BP Golf League Golf Outing at Minne Monesse Golf Club in Grant Park, IL. The team of Bill Palmer (VEC), Pat Morris (VEC), Tony Barron (BP), and Brad Robbins (BP) posted a 13 under par score of 59 on the par 72 course.

This is the fifth consecutive outing won by the VEC / BP team, but the first win with Tony Barron and Brad Robbins on the team.

The outing was played as a scramble format where each player starts each hole by hitting their own shot. The team then selects the best shot of the four shots followed by each player playing their next shot from this same location. This format is repeated on each successive shot until the ball is holed out.

Bill Palmer also won one of the closest-to-the-pin contests on the twelfth hole - a par three hole measuring 145 yards. Bill's 8-iron tee shot came to rest approximately 5 feet from the cup.

Approximately 120 golfers from BP, RCA, Vendors, and LECs participated in the golf outing. Pat Fitzpatrick was the only other VEC employee who participated.

VEC contributed 10 door prizes to the golf outing.
