    12th Annual Golf Classic Another Big Hit

    August 3, 2017

    Thank you to everyone that supported our Twelfth Annual Golf Classic, presented by Bauer. Our event was held July 14 at the Stonebridge Country Club in Goffstown. 

    Our event was kicked off with a message from John Normand, President of the New Hampshire Legends of Hockey (Legends). He gave special thanks and recognition to our Presenting Sponsor, Bauer (Global Headquarters) of Exeter, NH, our Title Sponsor, The Rinks at Exeter, our perennial Gold Sponsor, St. Paul’s School of Concord as well as Co-Title Putting Sponsors, Club National and Charles Schwab, both of Nashua.

    “We are extremely grateful to all the players, sponsors, contributors (gifts in kind) and volunteers that help make this event one of the best in the state, each and every year”.

    For perhaps the first time in twelve years, it was cooler, but that meant comfortable weather to spend time with our hockey family and friends. Again, we enjoyed another near-capacity field and with generous contributions this year’s Golf Classic was again one our most successful events.

    Can you believe it? Shown above in center, Scott Citroni, reacts just after knocking in his ball for a Hole N One on the 4th Hole. Director Dave Beauchamp (green jacket) and others react. This was the first ever Hole N One in twelve years, and from this day forth will be called “The Scott Citroni 4th Hole.”

    More than 500 photos from Matt Parker Photography can be viewed and or purchased for a nominal fee.
