Springbrook Golf Course held the annual Fall Scramble on Saturday, October 10 with a record 132 players participating.
The winning foursome included Bob Trine, Mike Herbert, Dave Lemaistre and Bob Falkman, with a score of 61. Two teams tied for second place with a score of 62: the team of Chuck Millington, Phil Wierzbinski, Bill Parrilli and Dave Maxson and the team of Bryan Spaits, Greg Hawes, Bill Kerth and Rick Prohammer.
“The early fall weather was perfect for the tournament,” said Head Golf Professional Mike Lyzun. “We appreciated the support of tournament sponsors Belgio’s Catering and FBC Remodel.”
The Fall Scramble is the last of the regular season tournaments at Springbrook Golf Course. The next event planned for 2020 is the annual Turkey Shoot, held at both Springbrook and Naperbrook on November 21 and 22.
A fun tradition, this five-person scramble is held in all kinds of weather, which in the past has included rain, cold and snow. All participants receive a turkey, and the group with the lowest score for the day will get the biggest birds. As part of the tradition of the Turkey Shoot, players who do not wish to receive a turkey may donate the value of the turkey to a local charitable organization.
The Naperville Park District has selected Operation Support Our Troops — a Naperville-based organization — to be the beneficiary of donations from the 2020 Turkey Shoot event at Springbrook and Naperbrook Golf Courses. Participants may elect to donate the monetary equivalent of their prize turkey that will be forwarded on to this cause that supports “the morale and well-being of American forces by providing comfort, resources and education to them and their families.”
