Chapter Members were provided the ultimate challenge at the 2018 Chapter Golf Outing. The event was held at the prestigious TPC Jasna Polana in Princeton, N.J. on August 27, 2018. The award winning, PGA tour-quality course is considered among the top private clubs in New Jersey with a championship layout designed by golf legend Gary Player.

Members enjoyed the rolling hills, perfectly manicured fairways and greens dotted by stone bridges over strategically placed ponds and creeks. Players competed for numerous awards for golfing excellence including a narrow closest-to-the-pin and the traditional $20,000 hole-in-one. The nearly perfect weather conditions allowed Members to concentrate on defeating the course.

The generosity of the Chapter's numerous sponsors provided Chapter Members the opportunity to enjoy a full day of activities. Players enjoyed a hot buffet breakfast and warming up on the driving range before the traditional “shotgun” start. Members were fortified throughout the day by roving food and beverage carts. Following a very challenging round of championship golf, players enjoyed a well-earned open bar cocktail hour and a very appetizing buffet of hand carved gourmet food selections expertly prepared the executive chefs at Jasna Polana.

Chapter President Sal Zerilli presented each of the distinguished players with the Chapter’s traditional awards for golfing excellence following dinner.
