Dragonfly Golf

Monday, September 12, 2005 was the date of our inaugural golf classic, The Dragonfly Cup. We had fabulous weather at Gulph Mills Golf Club, creating a spectacular setting for our players and sponsors. The event’s success was derived from the generosity of our key sponsors:

Event Sponsors

• David Binswanger

• Anthony Haller, Esq.

• Blank Rome, LLP

• Matt Hamilton

• Colburn Family

Course Sponsors

• Abbott, Lastowka and Overholt

• Valpak

• Cookies Corvette

• Peterson Insurance

• Dunleavy and Associates

• Chris Dallas-Feeny

• USI Affinity Insurance

• USI Insurance

• Cornerstone Family Services

• American Infrastructure

• Spartan Capital Management, LLC

• The Peter Rohr Group at Merrill Lynch

We received enthusiastic feedback for our format: two partners on a team playing six holes of scramble, six holes or best ball of partners and six holes of aggregate play.

The day culminated in a four team playoff. On the first playoff hole a true miracle occurred as the team of Doug Schroer/ Jerry Halterman of USI and the team of Jeff Abbott/ John Colburn each chipped in the hole from 50 feet to secure 1st and 2nd place. Schroer/Halterman took first prize with two wonderful approach shots on 18. The teams of Chris Dallas-Feeny and Hal Marinaro came in 3rd, Nick Sandor and Dan Taylor were 4th as they came up the 18th fairway to a cheering crowd.

The reigning finalists:

5th - Chad Stowe & Mark O’Neill
6th - Hank Grabowski & Simon Edwards
7th - Dave Roy & Steve Potash
8th - Dennis McGee & Royer Schwartz
9th - Hudson Voltz & Jeff Wadkins
10th - Harlan Slack & James Hanna

Doug Schroer had closest to the pin on hole #14 and Longest Drive on hole #7, Jeff Abbott a had a 2 feet 3 inch closest to the pin on hole #4, and Phil Remig won longest Drive on hole # 12.

Gulph Mills was a great venue for the event, expressing its history, course design and classic clubhouse. The food and service were at the top. Thank you Gulph Mills Golf Club!

Dragonfly Forest is so very thankful to all of the participants in the event. We now have a great base of friends to make next year’s golf outing even larger and more impressive. Please anticipate some information in late winter for our 2006 Dragonfly Cup to be held in the Spring. We are thinking that longer daylight hours, early season golf enthusiasm, and no back-to- school challenges will open the field to many more friends.

Thank you all for a great day.
