It was a hot summer day in Central PA last Sunday, about what you would expect for the beginning of August. The only thing hotter than the weather was the competition at Eagles Crossing Golf Course in Carlisle. Some of Local 776’s finest teed it up on Sunday August 6, 2023 at Eagles Crossing Golf Course in Carlisle. Members were out to enjoy a day of friendship, food, prizes, and good-natured head-to-head competition. There was plenty of friendly competition on the course but bragging rights were on the line as members vied for first place in their respective flights, close to the pin competition, and longest drive. After the last putt dropped and the divots had all been replaced, the members enjoyed a steak dinner while they talked about the errant shot, the putt that would not drop, and all things golf while the scores were tallied.

As is the custom at Local 776 events, a 50/50 drawing was held in support of the 776 Scholarship Fund. This year’s winner was James Handley (New Penn Retired). The 50/50 drawing Consolation Prize of an Eagles Crossing Golf Club Gift Card was won by Ken Badger (YRC Retired).
