A beautiful buffet lunch was served on the clubhouse porch before the start of the tournament. Then twenty-three foursomes played a round on Winged Foot’s renowned West Championship Course.

 

Afterward, golfers were joined by other guests for cocktails, an elaborate buffet dinner and a silent auction that was orchestrated by Auction Chair Susan Curtin. Highlights of the auction included the Old Course Experience at St. Andrew’s in Scotland, and a vacation in Antigua. “In addition to a fundraiser, the outing and party were an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the Foundation over the last 12 months,” said Ms. Tananbaum. “We are proud of the progress we’ve made as an organization that’s improving the field of sports medicine and making a difference in the lives of people. We had a terrific day; great golf and a great party. Everyone had fun!”
