It was a beautiful sunny day on Monday, July 31 when New Horizons Resources held its 39th Annual Invitational Golf Tournament at the Powelton Club in Newburgh, New York. Eighty-eight players joined the tournament, which was rescheduled after being rained out on May 1.
Numerous sponsors supported the tournament including two Ace sponsors, Hudson Regional LTC Pharmacy and Mauri Associates, who each donated $5,000 to support the event. The day began with 9 AM breakfast, shotgun start at 10 and finished with cocktails and dinner. There were a number of raffles during cocktails and dinner.

There were awards given to the first, second and third place foursomes. The first-place foursome was Hickey-Finn and Co. and the players were Dan Hickey, George Decker, Ann Marie Kania and Ed Kania. The second place winner was Sweet’s Funeral Home and the players were Robert Sweet, Darren Hummel, Tom Jurkowski and Ed Mahoney. Veith and Co. was the third-place finisher and the players were John Abbott, Steve Parinello, Sean Gottschalk and George Scivolette.
