It was a hot muggy 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 4, 2024, 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 to support the 776 Scholarship Fund. This year’s winner was Dave Bloss from UPS. The $500 Eagles Crossing Gift Card was also won by Dave Bloss! Talk about getting up on the right side of the bed, this guy had luck smiling on him today!

Some guys have all the luck!

 Think you’ve got what it takes to tee up with these guys? We’ll be doing it again next year, so work on your game, get a foursome together, and come on out for a day of great golf, great food, and great fellowship!
