Organizers of the second annual Joseph Manzi Memorial Golf
Tournament said the event on held May 21, 2004 at Pistol Creek Golf Club
in Berlin
CT was a
huge success.
The 18-hole, four-man scramble-style tournament drew 122 golfers, an
improvement on the 2003 inaugural tournament total of 104.
"We surprisingly
exceeded our expectations," tournament chairman Peter
Scalaro said. Joe was also Scalaro's cousin. "We had a vision as to where
we were going to be and we knocked the cover off the ball. But it wouldn't
have been possible if it wasn't for the people of the town getting behind
us."
"I was really pleased to hear that the people who were golfing said
that they felt really good about being part of it because of the cause," Joseph's
mother Beverly Manzi said. "That's the whole key of it. That's what we
wanted." |
