More than 56 golfers took to the course, and the winning score of 60 was carded by a team of Tri-State Kappa Sigmas with Dave Ballinger, BSBA ’70, of Angola, Keith Turner, BSME ’76, of Angola, and Jim Sexton, BSBA ’69, of East Amherst, N.Y.

The second-place team, with a score of 62, was comprised of Kenn Shelton, BSADE ’59, of Venice, Fla., and his guests, Ken Mannino, Rob McCoy and Jack McFaul.
