Our Chapter enjoys a very long and continually growing partnership with the Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course. Each year, the Par 3 Foundation funds three weeks of summer camps for our students at the course. These funds are raised each year at the Raymond Floyd Open.
Our Chapter sends a team each year to compete in the Raymond Floyd Open. This year’s team was comprised PGA TOUR winner and Chapter Coach Trevor Dodds, chapter students Billy Reid, Olivia Marano, and Mateo Muniz and Chapter Executive Director Carl Mistretta.
The team got hot and finished with 10 birdies in a row to card a 13 under par round. We finished tied for 1st but lost on a match of cards to the team lead by Dennis Walters and Gussie.
“We really wanted to win,” said Mateo. “This tournament was so much fun, and I rolled in a lot of putts. We did beat Trustee Bob Simses’ team, which was very important to Mr. Carl for some reason. I think Mr. Bob is his uncle.”
Special SHOUT OUT to Tony Chateavert, PGA and Angie Young of the Palm Beach G.C. for conducting such an awesome event!
