A sell-out crowd of 144 golfers competed for prizes and top honors Friday at the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce’s annual golf tournament fundraiser at Pleasanton’s Callippe Preserve Golf Course.
So Unique Painting and Decorating claimed the Corporate VIP Challenge title as the foursome of Bob Range, Mark Newton, Brian Lotz and John Uhl was able to hold off the two-time defending champion, the HopYard Alehouse & Grill. So Unique took home the Challenge trophy for the first time since 2010.
Heritage Bank, which fielded two foursomes in the tournament, won the women’s flight. Ann Marie Aceret, Bridget Bisnette, Emily Wagner and Marjorie Wong Gilmore put together a solid round that edged out the bank’s second group.
Dave Cherry, Allen Eddy, Dave Courtney and Aaron Eddy of Big O Tires took home the low gross title for the men.
On top of 18 holes of scramble golf, golfers had lunch provided by New Leaf Community Markets, pizza from Vito’s Express, mai tais and cigars from Thompson & DePretis, margaritas and massages from Massage Envy Spa, and PGA golf tips from the instructor at CityGolf. Contests for putting, long drive, closest to the pin and hole-in one were part of the outing as well as a tee prize for each golfer from participating restaurants: Barone’s, Blue Agave Club, Eddie Papa’s American Hangout and HopYard.
Following golf was dinner and a raffle for prizes including rounds of golf at TPC Stonebrae, Ruby Hill and Castlewood, along with concert tickets at Wente Vineyards, wine tastings in the Napa Valley and autographed sports memorabilia.
Big O Tires of Pleasanton, California Financial Advisors, New Leaf Community Markets and Vito’s Express were the main sponsors of the event, which is held annually on the first Friday in August.
